really hitec
« on: April 26, 2012, 10:49:20 PM »
Why is it that you can richochet 2 shots off a panzer with a tiger inside 1000 yards and the panzer one shots the tiger. Also explain why it is that it takes 2 to 3 shots to kill a sherman which happens to have some of the poorest armour of the war? Like Ive always said, the gv modeling has absolutely no predictability what so ever. The whole idea of where you hit the thing is rediculous. If you decide to up a high perk tank you should at least have some comfort in knowing its standoff capabilities and not have everything be a damn mystery. Just like landing a PT boat. Whats the secret? Why is everything a secret?

M4 is wet storage the ammo doesnt ignite you need to aim for the sweet spots. the tiger just had an unlucky shot theres a point on the pnzrIV that a shot wont penetrate on the frontal armor its below the plate holding the driver viewport you rarely get a kill shooting there. aim 3 feet higher and you got the kill...

either that or uh... aim for the turret like everyone does on a panzer? :confused:

Because the Panzer was in a superior position to take the shot and the Tiger was in a bad position to take the shot.  Why'd you think?  Oh right, you didn't bother thinking...

Also the M4 had some fairly good armor; with slope its ~93mm thick. Better than the T-34 taken all in all.

Neither the M4 or the T-34 fared well against Tigers. Both losing at a rate of 10:1 or more. The T-34 earned its reputation against earlier opponents (winter '41-'42). When the M4 showed up a year later it faced a German Panzerwaffe that had adapted and modernized to combat the T-34. There is very little to chose between them.

I listened really carefully...

All I heard was  :cry  :cry with a bit 'o  :ahand mixed in.

However, it was an entertaining way to start the morning.

I will get in on this. 

Since the GV update (which I by the way  :cry my bellybutton off about), I have found tanking to be way more fun.  Engagements are likely now taking place at reasonable ranges.  I have found, that also things are completely unpredictable when it comes to GVing.  A couple of days ago a Tiger II was running away, I was in an M18 and I put three shots into his engine compartment, straight 6.  Not even a mobility kill.  When I up a tiger, I have been one shot frontal from M18s.  I just dont get it either. 

I still enjoy it, frustrating as it may seem.  Take today for example, I killed more guys in a 75mm sherman, more 1 shot turret kills, then the last two days of 76mm M4 or M18 what gives, my aim has not changed, I just dont get it.  That they say is that.

They didn't fare well against Tiger's, and neither did T-34's. They didn't have anything that could retaliate against that 88mm in kind, so its kind of a poor comparison.

Rounds don't "hit" where your sprite appears, film it and watch extremely close - you probably seen a dead hull hit, when on film it glanced off the hull and did no damage.
