Strangest thing happed the other day when I had upped a tiger at tanktown.
While in the turret gunsite firing away, I hear a jeep and pop out to take a look at whats going on. I see an enemy jeep rolling right at me, and before I can get the turret gun on him, he rolls inside of my tank.
I try to start the engines to move and get a shot...but then I start hearing machine gun bullets....next thing I know I am dead.
I figured the guy went inside the armor and started shooting it up from the inside. Pretty clever in terms of gaming, not all that realistic though.
Anyone ever heard of this or seen it (or done it)?? :noid
-
Did you record it?
-
No, havn't really gotten into the recording flights and stuff, I know I should though, to review my mistakes and whatnot. (or to provide proof of this story)
I'm not looking for anything though, like perks back, or sympathy on how truly aweful this experience was, to see my tiger blowed up by a lowly jeep.
One thing I do know though, just as sure as god made little green apples, I saw a jeep roll inside my tiger, start shooting and it blew me up.
-
you only think thats what happened, that jeep had a anti-tank crew that jumped out of the jeep and put anti-tank mines under your tiger and blew you up.
-
I've had that happen to me a few times. I'm in a tiger then someone drives up with a jeep and kills me from the inside. I've done it too. Its really easy. Its not a hack, or anything like that, its just something gamie and the only way to fix it, is to allow friendly collisions with vehicals after a few yards away from a spawn point, collision is enabled.
-
hehe keeps those fat lazy tiger drivers on the move .
:D

And yet I can bull's-eye a Tiger with a pair of thousand pounders and they just plink off him...
-
LMFAO i cant belive i didnt see this one earlyer. i do this alot not with a jeep tho i do it with ostis i drive the nose of them into the tiger shoot the driver seat and seconds later boom your dead tiger lol its not a hack or anything i was repoted to skuzzy about it a while back and i called skuzzy about it and all he had to say was no its not hacking or anything like that its his own dam fault for letting you get that close to his tiger in the first place

The other night while participating in Heavy Metal Monday fredtex and another player were set up, i upped a jeep to run supplies to someone.Two friendly tigers were approaching fredtex & the other tiger so i run out front of them to get an eyeball on their position.Now keep in mind that the two friendly tigers were visible and right behind me.Now i had no intentions of killing a tiger with my jeep, but what is so funny is that instead of the 2 enemy tigers shooting the two friendly tigers ( which was the bigger threat) they start shooting at me instead and the two friendly tigers got both of them.

Yep, and when your in the tiger you get killed from 1- 100lb. bomb

Amen to that:D

i think we should have collisions in tanks just like in planes, like, a jeep dies to a tiger when collided
-
i say keep it the way it is.cause now the campers will have to stay moving so they dont get owned by a jeep
Hehe (http://tiger1.justgotowned.com/) :D
-
ive gotten killed by jeeps in a tiger before without even knowing, I was sitting in a patch of trees no one in sight, in TT on a hill firing down upon them, and i get hit with 50 cal, 4 secs later im dead, i hate it, thats why we need collisions
true what you said wes

Other fun in a jeep (and one shot of killing tiger)

HT has said in the past that collisions would be an absolute nightmare in the tank war. If I recall, the main differnce is that the tank collisions are much more than the qucik flash of contact, and the presence of internet lag could result in "clipping violations" where tank parts would exist inside other tanks with no end of coding problems ensuing.
Not to mention the mass and armor effects of collisions, an entirely new chunk of calculations and coding.
<----not a programmer at all...nothing tougher than the DVD recorder.

very true, maybe even make them stop at the armor

Vehicles can't have the same properties as objects which we can collide with?
-
ever rammed into a object with a tiger..if ur not paying attention and keep trying to go forward u get shot back/up at warp speed,well that happens to me:confused:

Nope Ht said someplace it would do strange things.
like get stuck together or bounce off at high speeds.
Simple solution don't let the little buggers near you.

Thats my favorite thing to do, don't take it away! Jeep kills are always satisfying. NO ONE IS SAFE :t

It's not a simple solution, a jeep can outrun a tiger, and you can't turn the Tigers turret fast enough to keep up with it at close range, not to mention it's such a small target.
If they could somehow code it where the GV's cannot take hits from the inside it would eliminate the problem.

But it is a simple solution . Kill the little bugger from the commanders position.
Jeeps die fast to rifle rounds. Only way he gets you is YOU let him get so close you can't get enough down angle from that gun.
Just one spot that can't be covered from the commander spot. Once moving use steering input to keep the bastage out of it.
Any time I'm in a tiger and I hear a jeep I immediately start up and start moving.
I then jump to commanders position and scan. Once I kill the little bugger return to my spot and start all over.
This is the best unintentional bug ever.
Keep lazy spawn camper on their toes or they get spanked.

Pintle MGs work just fine on jeeps.

If all else fails, check the roster to see if I'm online. I love killing jeeps, but I don't get to kill nearly as many as I'd like. :)
I've been on both sides of this, and given the alternative of being glued together or flying apart like a split atom, I'm not sure this is bad enough to warrant a change. I'd rather have to take my chances with the tankjackers, then have to hold on to my desk for dear life as I suddenly accelerate to ludicrous speed when a jeep careens into me.
Come to think of it, that might be a little more exciting. :t
-
coding would work....keeping the tiger on their toes is nice.....ill kill jeep any day
-
yea killing tigers with jeeps aint noobish by my books..its noobish of the tiger to not notice/care of that annoying jeep:noid
if tiger drivers r stupid enought to let jeeps get that close they might as well try to catch falling bombs,and that would be a sight to see:rolleyes:

I if remember correctly from a conversation long ago -
If they enabled vehicle collisions a few weird side effects can happen because of lag and the fact that compared to aircraft GV's are way slow -
a) They could actually lock together partially inside each other - not good
b) They could bounce and fly apart at warp speed - not good
-
we should do somthin though......

how abut you look when u hear the familar jeep sound with your pintle gun, locate him and turn him into swiss cheese
:furious we dont need to add to the already Bs'ness to the game by making jeeps ram into tigers and the tiger flys across the map
-
lol wes
-
also u add this tank collision thing...the ppl more moronic then me on h2h would have "send-ur-tank-into-space" Servers
-
b) They could bounce and fly apart at warp speed - not good [/B]
Set speed to warp 7, number one.
We could have some serious games of bumper cars.

This has turned into a really good topic for a Furball-style GIF. :noid
