Please FIX the Panzer and M8
« on: October 13, 2001, 06:00:00 PM »
The two vehicles are worthless as is, and even having them in the game leads to frustration as people might hop into them expecting that they will have a prayer against other GV's.  This is not the case, although in FACT I don't think a panzer had much to fear from a M3, M16, or Ostwind- they are easy meat in the MA.  Furthermore, the Panzer will lose its track a .50 or .30 cal bullet comes with 1000 yards of the tank, and the damage does not show up on the damage listing.  

I really do wonder if a .50 caliber machine gun would have ANY effect at all on a tank, I rather doubt it.  Anyway, HTC, please fix the M8 and Panzer (make them at least plausible to use vs. other GVs) or remove them from the game.  Thanks.

The 50cal will not kill PanzerIVs in RL. IT IS NOT A whoopee WW2 antitank weapon. toejam even the Shermans 75mm gun had trouble against even PanzerIV armor. For example it could not penetrate Panzer IV frontal armor untill well under 500yards. Te aromor is 80mm while the 75mm penetratyes only 66mm at 500yards.

Now! HTC listen up good.

Even if the track was cut, and if in the unlikely chance it all rolled off from under the wheels, the tank would only tilt maybe 2-3 inches to one side. The track is only that high.  The way you guys model it now the tank falls more than 1 foot to one side. For this to happend you would have to completly destroy and remove at three of the panzers four armored suspension assemblies per side. 50cal MG will not do this.

It seems that you guys at HTC attribute some special magic power to 50cals in the anti-tank role OR that you still havent sorted out the GV damage model.

Sorry for the criticism if you find it offensive, but just admit the problem and commit to fix it.

Fix the bugs and dammage modell sure, that would be great. BUT please don't ask for removal of veichles or planes, that'll never happen (I am ALLMOST sure) and SHOULD NOT happen, only takes extra time.

I taught they would fix it in 1.08 instead of adding more BS planes which realy don't do anything.

My vote is to increase the ground vehicle physics and add more.
