panzer vs. LVT
« on: March 05, 2002, 11:53:31 AM »
Does anyone else have problems using the gun in a panzer or M8 to hit LVTs when they are on the water? I think my problem is telling if my shot is long or short -- I see the water spray up but have a hard time telling if it is in front of or behind the LVT, even when zoomed in close.

Any tips?

I think pnzr/lvt (in water) is a bug.  I have never once hit a lvt with pnzr shells, but have hit both pts and lvt's with m8 shells.

I've hit (got assists) PTs several times with the 37mm on the Ostie.  It was spray and pray though...

Thanks for the replies. I've killed a number of PTs with the 37mm from an ostwind. But come to think of it, I'm not sure I've ever hit an LVT on the water with a panzer or M8. So maybe it is a bug, although I searched the bug forum and didn't see any mention of this.
