Title: Good news for Panzer IV drivers.
Post by: Urchin on June 15, 2004, 01:53:31 PM

Doesn't look as it flat strafing passes by Hizooka or .50-equipped planes will disable or kill your tank.  

Diving still works, have got some films but I'll have to wait to take a close look at them to see what sort of angle of attack needs to be achieved to get penetration.

I think an angle of around 30 degrees is still sufficient to kill Panzers with Hizookas, which is still about 30 degrees to low IMO, but it beats the hell out of some newbie giving you a couple rounds as he flies past and knocking out your turret.

Yes, in a dive they'll still kill a Panzer IV.  

Like I said, I need to check out the film to see exactly what angle and what distance he was at to see if it matches the penetration data I've got for the .50 and Hispano.  

However, it is worlds better than it was before.

Of course, the Sturmi seems to be deadlier.:D

can some one do a test on the HURR-d to see how it does now with both 40mms firing at the same time now?

Hit a panzer with at least half my 40mm rounds last night, took out his track and maybe his turret and engine...
