Poll: How many AP rounds does it take...

[Weavling]

...you to kill;
1. A Tiger with a Tiger?
2. A Panzer with a Tiger?
3. A Ostwind with a Tiger?
4. A Tiger with a Panzer?
5. A Panzer with a Panzer?
6. A Ostwind with a Panzer?

My average results:
1. Don't know, never got the chance.
2. 5 rounds at close range, midship hits.
3. 2 long range hits.
4. Never have.
5. Never have, takes at least 5 hits to disable them though.
6. 4 hits to kill, no visable damage prior to the explosion.

It takes one hit from another Tiger, to kill my Tiger. Two hits from a panzer to kill my panzer.
I'm just wondering how many others are spawning the cheap Tiwanese versions?

yep random, but id say avg is about 2 hits to kill anything.

but i had killed and died to 1 hit, and i have taken over 60 hits to kill a Tiger v Tiger

Man, random is right! Last night I killed two panzers with single long range hits from my panzer. I took four hits from one of them first. Bet that guy was a frustrated as I have been. Hope HTC gets this stabalized some time in the future.

It depends on where you hit them.   You can fire all your AP at a Tiger and it will bounce off.  But you can kill a Tiger with a Panzer with one AP hit if you know where to hit them, but it isn't easy:)

The answer to all of them is 1-2 if the circumstances are good and you do it right.

ya I always hear people say depends where you hit them. Ive been so close I could aim anywhere on that tiger and they kept bouncing off. and that close all you see is a big sprite of yellow and cant tell where your hitting them. GVs are not consistent and have pissed me off too many times I simply dont use em unless its a osti at an airfeild.

Just pop the turret and move on to next target.

It takes only one shot to kill the vehicles listed above depending upon what your aspect to the target vehicle is (Front or Side, NOT Rear), what part of the vehicle your shot penetrates, as well as your distance to the target vehicle (one shot kills are possible in all of the above situations at ranges in excess of 1.0K)

The current damage model for the armor of the Panzer IVH, Tiger tank, and the Ostwind (I am unsure about the M8) will not let you kill the vehicle with Rear Hull penetrations.  That is to say that you cannot kill a Panzer, Tiger, or Ostwind (make it blow up) with a penetrating hit on the Rear Hull.  The damage model seems to relay all of the damage from Rear Hull penetrations to the engine, with no damage being done to the rest of the tank.

I have point blanked a panzer with 17 ap rounds with a tiger and he turns around and kils me with 2 rounds.  I dont know.
