I'm guessing it can't be done.  If the M4/75mm AP can not get the job done at 100 yards then I would like to believe that at 200 yards the HE rounds from the 37mm (or is it 40mm?) AA gun can't do it at all.

It takes Pi hits but you have to get the decimal correct.

I suspect you could track it with many many hits, but never kill it.  Now the AP shells from the manned 88 mm are a different story.

It takes exactly 6 hits from D600. Works on both frontal and back armor. This probably explains the 'miracle' deaths some have experienced in Tigers and T34:s. If you aim the correct spot you can kill them probably even with a pintle gun front and back.

I just tried it offline.  The 37 mm can track a Tiger I in 16 hits.  All other places just bounce and the Tiger never dies.  So you have found some magic spot.

Edit: whoa.. you're right.  I guess it wouldn't be a good idea to mention where the spot is so I'll leave that out, but it might be an angle problem.

Yes, a glitch in the armor probably.

It also takes about 6-7 hits to kill a T34 just by hitting the back of the turret using the field gun.

Send film to HTC.  At Pyro's request I sent in the film of me killing a Tiger II through the front turret with a Panzer IV H and they fixed it promptly.

So that's why I never killed one. I always rounded down, forgot it took an extra .1 shots!

Maybe if you hit Driver's Periscope, it gives kill?
Would seem so.

No, it's a clear glitch in the armor. I sent a video to HTC for fixing. If I was nasty I'd go around killing Tigers in an osty :D
