I would like to know which tanks shoot through trees. I get hit through trees but can never fire through them.

Your round is going through the branches, even when you see the explosion effect on the tree.

I find that even though I shoot through trees and see an explosion on the trees, the round still finds it's target most of the time.

Also, If you were that close to the other t-34 in a t-34 make sure you are using the HVAP rounds (High Velocity Armor Piercing).

How do I protect my tank from a 500lbs bomb that's what I want to know.. Everytime I get the perfect tank in the perfect spot ... Kills adding up.. Great GV action I hear whistling... Then boom in tower

I cannot help you with the bombtoads but I would recommend you
Keep one ear open at all times. You just might hear a M-8 coming.  Those M-8 guys are getting sneakier all the time. Some of them are not very nice. Just the other day I found Wee Dawgies Virgle hiding in a bush.   :D

I think the weakness of any tank is if I am in it. So simply ask, "can Shuffler ride with you"?

If you manage to shoot through the turret, the over-pressure will kill or disable the crew in the turret, and full of metal fragments flying though the penetrated part of the vehicle, at high speed.

I remember one guy hitting the turret of the tank I sat in (Centurion) with a sledgehammer, an experience  :rolleyes:

Scotty, you are trying to give the M-8 a bad rep. Every one that has jumped into a M-8 knows they cannot kill another tank head on. If you drove a M-8, you would have to learn all the vulnerable spots for every tank in the game. Who has time for that?

Just admit it Scotty, M-8's are harmless.

harmless you say? Poppycock I've wittiness the devastation of the fast moving 37mm deacker, tank killer two shots... And main Gunning aircraft at remarkable distances.. When this vehicle is driven by some of the best I fear it more than a t2 ... But seriously mano you know I'm joking about the m8 running the game I was merely pointing out that it appears when a tool has been provided by HTC and someone gets real good at it.. Sooner or later said tool will be accused for ruining the game... Tools whether it's m3s, manned guns, bombers that pound the strats, people in tanks instead of flying etc ... For every problem there is a solution that already exists in the game.. For me fighting m8s.. The mighty and much feared Jeep!! Or 500lber will do in a pinch.. but yes mano if you know where to hit a tank in a m8 it only takes two rounds depending on distance I just haven't taken the time to learn where to hit... Yet :salute

I love driving my M8.. can deack a field and can given time kill a tank... I have a tiger 2 kill to my credit... I tracked him and kept plunking away at him till he died...or maybe towered.. either way kill for me.
