Reminds me of a time when I was with LTAR, one of my squaddies started complaining loudly that this Niki must be hacking because he had killed his tank with cannon fire only -- twice. Kept going on about it. I told him to look for GVs. He insisted it wasn't possible for there to be a GV because the VH had been down for quite some time. So I upped to see for myself.
A bit into the drive, a Niki shows up and starts strafing him again (he being in front of me). "Hacker missed that time!" Second strafing run -- Niki is pulling out and BOOM! - no more squaddie.
Well, you guessed it, there was a Panzer waiting in ambush along the path he had chosen to take not once, not twice, but on all three runs. I spotted him and managed to kill him. Mr. Squaddie never quite believed me when I told him it had been a panzer all along.
But something tells me he never sent the film to HTC as he said he would.
(I won't specify which squaddie because, 1) it doesn't matter and 2) I frankly don't remember. I think his name started with LTAR though.)

Since the time I shot 4 x 88mm Tiger point blank shots (tank dogfight) at a wirble until it went down without filming it, I swore I would ALWAYS film tank battles to capture such events.
Besides, at 2k, you sure it was an M8?
-
I can easily distinguish GV's even at 4k. Its harder yes. Tigers can be mistaken for panzers from the front, yes. But the point is that you CAN do it.
Nothing but the firefly has the M8's paint color (you have no business tanking if you can't tell an M8 from an firefly).

You have no business playing if you're going to make statements like that.

I'm sorry, but they have to be the two least simmilar allied AFV's. If you can't tell them appart, then tanking isn't really your strong suit. I will admit that I exagerated a good deal though.

and so when you were 13 playing a game like this you knew EVERYTHING about it, what was going on around you, and what your objective was? that and have the reflexes to spot, identify, and kill every enemy? You seem like the ultimate IFF/super ninja. QUAH!!!

Much better, and a big difference from what you said in your last place.
...QUAH!!!! :bolt:

:lol do you remember that? i barely do...that thread bumped a month ago reminded me of it :D

There are two spots on the Tiger that will kill it in one shot every time. One is behind the forward main spur gear of the track and the other is the cupola ring. I dont know if it should work that way (or not) but it does. I havent tried it with the m8.
EDIT: I tried it with the M8 and even at 100 yards I could not kill a Tiger from any angle.

321BAR, is it unreasonable for people who want to play a combat sim to work on their recognition skills? Before I even started playing, I was reading the help page.

You never give up do you? No, a person doesn't have to work on their recognition skills if they don't want too, what does it matter how they choose to play? If they want to be good, it would probably help to know. But you said that someone who can't tell the difference between the two shouldn't even be GVing.
-
And I amended that stament in another post. It wouldn't let me edit by the time I got on again. I think that the ability to tell tanks apart from one another is essential for GV'ing. Without it, you will try to take on tanks you would do better flanking.

Essential for "good" GVing maybe, but not essential to GV in general.

For someone that had to ask what rudders do and how to use them in combat, you really shouldn't be telling someone the shouldn't drive a tank if they can't recognize another tank.
I still work the flaps and throttle in combat, just not the rudder. I never learned how to do it, and what it DOES.
So close, yet so far. Can anyone tell me how to use rudder in combat (when to use it, and the exact steps if its rather complicated)?

Looks like you skipped the part in the help pages about how to fly an airplane.

Nemesis, this is the point you need to cease and desist. This thread is looking very similar to many others where you've gone too far. You have a habit of saying "I was wrong... BUT," "you're right... BUT," "I said this... BUT."
The BUT stops here. :P
-
Hmmmm... ack-ack, did you notice I admited I had crossed the line there? And I don't see what rudders have to do with GV combat. I admit I'm not a great pilot, but I know GV's pretty well.
And Jayhawk, I suppose you are right (about both the recognition issue, and it being time to stop).

Why did I know the point would be completely lost on you? You're right, rudders have nothing to do with GV combat but everything to do with the point I was making.
And Jayhawk, I suppose you are right (about both the recognition issue, and it being time to stop).
The first step is recognition, hopefully you'll find the smarts to complete the 2nd step.

Turning the hull in one direction while rotating the turret in another direction for one.
-
And you missed my point ack-ack; don't bring up whats already settled.
Chalenge, I meant actuall rudders like on a plane. The 'rudder' on a GV, and the rudder of a plane are only the same in the sense that we have the same name for them. I mean on a tank, its not even a physical thing, its just a name we've given to the actions of the driver opperating under orders of the tank commander.
-
Not to worry. I have been guilty of not spelling things out myself. Sometimes its a trap for people unfamiliar with the subject and other times its just laziness. :D
-
And which is it in this case good sir?
-
You tell me! I checked and you havent even been in a vehicle this month! BUT if you dont like calling your steering gear rudders then dont. :aok
The Tiger is the only tank I use as long as I can get one. I really dont enjoy shooting rockets at towns or fields (although tanking into the strats was fun for a while) so I am not likely to use an M4 again which leaves the Panzer (which is a really good tank).

:huh Might want to check your info again (hint, look at his sig).
I know he did because I killed his twice! :D

Maybe you shouldn't make those kind of statements to begin with and then you wont have to ammend them.. I see many of your postings. For someone who still has much to learn about this game, Myself included, you sure are quick to slam any other player who makes a post that has less skill than yourself.. I have been playing for only 1.5 years, My GV skills are pretty good. My fighter skills are lacking. But I read these forums and learn from the problems others are having... Maybe you should do this as well... We both are better Gvers than fighter pilots. There are many times when I kill a new guy in a tank because he made a big mistake. I often PM him and tell him what mistake he made. Dr7 and Jamdive have done this for me in the past... At the very least I salute him . I dont tell him he shouldnt be driving GV's...

The M4(75) can be usable against other M4(75)'s, T-34/76's, and panzers. Past that, its pretty much helpless against the other tanks. And the M4(76) is a bit better than the panzer IMO.

Thanks. Yes I looked up Nemisis.
