Tank to Air Victories

LOL...
Ya thats it...the guy that disagrees with you and thinks that HTC has flubed this issue a little must be incompitent.
I was killed at over 3k flying at between 200 and 300 mph in a crossing shot.....
I have top attacked many tanks.. I know the proper teqnique. If you cant get your head out of your parachute place holder long enough to realize that the tanks are fundimentally too effective against AC then fine. My point still stands..where are the accounts of this happening..Destroyers where not this effecitive vs aircraft little own tanks. As I said earlier I have had the pleasure of engaging radio controled drones with a turrented 50 cal and 30cal combo. It is much tougher even with those weapons then it is in AH with a MA. But some fokes here seem to think this capability is justified probably because THEY are so compitent or something...
Enjoy the game.

Tanks now are so effective mostly because many pilots crash near them. True many get shot down during their wrong approaches, but as mentioned before it's all due to the poor delivery technique. What happened to you is a lucky shot by some guy in a tank. I bet given some luck same can happen in real life too. Now because you upset by being killed in this manner, it doesn't make a game any more unrealistic and your statements of tanks being unable to kill planes legit.

I think Pongo's killing was a 1 in a million lucky shot. Get over it and move on.

If you HO a tank and it's main gun hits you, you die. Get over it.

If you auger attacking a tank, you die. get over it.

Or are you all saying a tank round should cause NO damage to your a/c? Get over it.

Rock..
Hey thanks that clears things up. Good contribution.
I am trying to address a potential weakness in the game.
I am opposed by people that seem to put more credence on what HTC put together in a month then what 60 years of tank to AC engagments would indicate is feasable.
HTC will decide if there needs to be a change.
They are probably waiting with baited breath for that account of ANY tank in history killing ANY (airborne) fighter in history with its main armament.
If they made a change then all you drones could defend that to the death right or wrong... he he

Your are free to not participate.
Others have droped in to indicate that my experiance the second night of tanks in the game was not unique(although it hasent happend to me again.)

Ok I just did a check on my stats in a Panzer and I show that out of 54 kills in it I have had 38 ground kills (tank and m16)and 16 air kills.

I don't see what the argument is really.
If you can get anything in your sights within range you should be able to shoot it down.

To say that tanks in real life couldn't or wouldn't do it is silly. If you had the shot and it was kill him or be killed you would try it to.

By the way I wouldn't even be able to tell you how many shots I've thrown in the air before I was able to hit anything.

I practice  G to A alot in the TA and Main so I know it's not easy to do but it can be done.

OK
You must be right, if you can get it in your sight you should be able to shoot it down..what was I thinking.
