6 months ago it took 2000lbs of bombs to kill a tiger. now it takes 250lbs of bombs. i was killed by a bomb from a la7. whats the deal? should the tiger not be perked anymore?
-
here we go again... oh my :rolleyes:
Didn't you make exact the same topic only 5 days ago?
-
Yes, lets feed this troll some more. He hasn't had his fill!
-
No maybe for you it 2000lbs to kill a tiger. Most people do it with 1 1000lbs or even a well placed 500lbs bomb. the LA7's bombs are armor piercing so in theory if he drops them both right on your head you might be killed.

the LA7's bombs are armor piercing
They are ordinary HE bombs.

Holy JEEBUS! You were killed when a plane dropped a bomb on your tank!? How unfreaking realistic is that!? I demand that HTC fix this damage model now! I will not stand for this travesty! I mean, a bomb hitting a tank?!?! Crappy damage model if you ask me and HTC should reimburse each and everyone of us that has lost a Tiger due to being bombed!
ack-ack
-
Wait wait you are complainging about dieing to a bomb? :huh If an La7 hit dead on and killed all I can say this guy is :aok :rock :salute and nice drop
I thought when I saw this it would be about how Tigers have become easily killed by GV's but instead another post that makes no sense. But then again everytime vanldals post when I know I will have a good :rofl out of it
-
I think valdals needs to go play warcraft, after all he can play a troll and complain all he wants when he gets killed.
-
Someone show him what 250lbs of HE does, on youtube or something.
-
There are GV's in this game? :huh
-
the lala's are pretty damn precise dive bombers IMO, easy to put bombs right on a tank.
Imagine you are dropping 2 fat guys equivalent in TNT, and the explosion resulting.
-
IRL you need a direct hit, or a very-close hit to destroy a tank with a GP bomb.
-
[Borat]Having good result from good Russian Aircraft bombing pesky GV's of all types!
Getting accurate drop from Capitalist American aircraft is not so good.[/Borat]
-
I would of thought,the shock from the explosion of a direct hit,even a 250lb bomb would be more than enough to kill all on board any tank,including the Tiger without having to penetrate the Armour.
Though I'm sure someone will provide evidence to the contrary. ;)

The bombardment early in the morning of 18 July was the worst we had ever experienced in the war. Although we were in foxholes under our tanks, we had a lot of casualties. Some of the 62-ton machines lay upside down in bomb craters 30 feet across; they had been spun through the air like playing cards. Two of my men committed suicide; they weren't up to the psychological effect. Of my 14 Tigers not one was operational. All had been covered in dust and earth, the guns disadjusted, the cooling systems of the engines out of action. Yet by early afternoon a few of my Tigers were ready for battle. I was to use them to attack westward in the flank of the British tank attack.
-excerpt from Panzer Commander, the Memoirs of Colonel Hans Von Luck.
Tigers are most certainly not invulnerable, even to near-misses by bombs. It doesn't take a lot of explosive to render a tank inoperative, just enough in the right place. M1A2's in Iraq have been flipped over by IED's which were nothing more than 2-3 155MM Howitzer shells wired together, that's not even 500 lbs of explosives. And the Abrams is 10 tons heavier than a Tiger.
The deadliest (to human) part of an explosion is the shockwave, which can cause severe stress on the body, rupture ear-drums, shatter bones, disrupt organs etc. etc. etc. Being inside the tank goes a long way to protecting the body from the shockwave, though. Because the shockwave is omni-directional it dissipates very quickly and something as small as a table-leg can prevent lethal effects by disrupting it's path somewhat. (The Hitler Bomb) Even being a few feet further from the blast than someone else can greatly reduce the effect of the shockwave as it operates much like the intensity of sound, because it is after all just air being pushed outwards.
So, in answer to the thread. Yes it is wholly feasible that the smallest bomb we can drop in AH2 can kill a tiger, it is also highly unlikey, but thanks to the laws of probability it is possible, and therefore will happen. Even if it's one drop in 50,000. It will happen. And... hey... it happened.
You were just unlucky enough to be there when someone had a good day.
