Title: Panzer MG movement???
Post by: dutchman on October 09, 2000, 09:14:00 AM

Did the real Panzer MG only move +- 15 degrees from main turret aim? Doesn't seem right and makes Panzer easy kills (too easy) from the air.

Anybody have real pictures/data on this?

Pyro is aware of the bug and has it planned to fix at some point.

For the time being, use the rudders and steer the entire tank vice attempting to move the main gun turret.

What Minotaur said...when under attack from a plane it's best to down shift to 4th gear so you can turn without much E loss. It's also quicker to turn the turret if you peg the commanders MG the direction you want to turn then go to the main gunners position then back to the commanders position. I was fairly succesful killing ac in the panzer during tour 8...the only pilots that killed me regularly are the ones attacking from 12 high. Killing planes with the main gun is hard but very satisfying when you do...especially when ya think what the pilot must have thought...WTF was that?
