Title: indestructible tigers
Post by: storch on June 29, 2008, 12:36:33 PM
I was in a tiger, a lanc dropped a 1000lber on me.  the bombe ricochetted off of the turret and exploded on the ground with no damage.  I was sitting in the epicenter of his blast.  I was in a panzer scoring at least fifty direct hits on a tiger at d400 with no damage to the tiger.  I sure do love beta testing it's fun.

Was in a tiger yesterday and got bombed by a Nik...instant kill, he only dropped 1 bomb. It landed well in front of me too. I was in the drivers position as well.

I lose Tigers all the time to bombs. It's like they are dropping JDAMs or something. And they never bounce off of my turret. :cry

I think it's made out of tissue. :D

You seem surprised that *gasp* a bomb could kill a Tiger tank.  I killed 2 of them yesterday with by dropping a 500 pounder on each.  Come to think of it, the Tiger driver was surprised too by the tone of his whines on open channel.

You must be very lucky or it just depends on the time of the day.  I've had those little cherry bombs from a zero kill my tiger many times.

All the Best...

I had a School bus dropped on my tiger once...... And i died  :cry

you guys gotta consider latency, bombs might not hit where it seems etc. but i think the Sherman is tougher than the Tiger, at least to the thing i kill tanks with, 40mm bullets.
