You know how you hear you use to be able to drive a jeep inside a tank and kill them?
Well it works with a M8, I was chasing a t34-85 which are normally all but impossible to kill with a M8 and I drove inside him and killed him with 2 shots.
Just thought I'd share seems a bit gamey but it was fun/funny at the time.

It is a game, therefore the term "gamey" is irrelevant.

Stop being a downer and share us your aimbot!!!!!

I tell you what was most suprising about the night in TT was a certain guy in a M4-76 that took 22 rounds from me, 7 from another guy and at lest 6 from another.
I then dropped 5 500lbers that hit within 5 -10 yds of him that didn't even track him. He could one shot ANY tank from ANY angle at ANY range.
Made for a really nice video for HTC to see :bolt:
Now i know you guys are gonna say 'ha had sups'... but no one keeps 30+ boxes next to them :rolleyes:
-
But is he still in game after you sent the vid?

unfortunatly it seems the best kill spot for an M8 vs the 34/85 is the front hull...I normally track the 34 first so I can get underneath it and then work it to where I can get frontal shot without being shot back at.

O :bolt: :confused: he said it! :bolt: there's no aimbot you fools

Here is the problem, that guy that dropped the 5 x 500 was not me. :t
That is too bad if this a one of them cases. Thanks for not posting it on the bbs but instead sending to Hitech.

Would sure be nice if HTC made the ground warfare as high fidelity as the air warfare. They really could be on to something but the physics are really lacking on the ground.

I spawn camp in jeeps!! beat that!!!

I once hit a t34 with my panzer, first round took out his turret. second tracked him, next 30 rounds did nothing to him. i bailed grabbed a t34, put at least another 30 rounds into him. finally got tired and loged. all the hits were at 100 yards, front, back rear side turret, track everywhere i could think of. go figure.
now the funny story is this. once i was camping a t34 and first round took out his turret, he had supplies, i took his turret out again, it was funny as heck he had a guy in an m3 bringing supplies and i would knock out his turret. I was at about 600 yards from him so i couldn't get hold of his supplies, but this kept going on about 20 or 30 times. was funny as hell. finally i laughed so hard that i missed and he killed me.

i would venture that that is the one time that night that he forgot to run film,.

I think you will find a few posts in other forums about the M4-76 & it's quirks. I know I have issues with them.

Doubt 7th Armd would let him in :huh

Valid point. But when the term "simulation" is thrown into the mix, the term "gamey" is back in play. Also, when holes in the coding allow for otherwise impossible events to happen, the term "gamey" is right on the money.
Gaming the game is a sad venture in more ways that one. Dog-fighting 163's, tank main guns shooting down aircraft, MG's destroying enemy GV's from inside (or M8 vs T34), dive bombing heavy bombers (Stuka-Lancs), etc etc, are all real downers when it comes to those of us who enjoy the simulation feel of the *game*. If people need to exploit bugs or holes in the coding to get their victory, or take vessels far outside of their typical performance pattern or typical role to get their daily point or ego erection, then so be it. I feel sorry for them.
I for one could care less if some banana wants to bring an A20 to a dogfight, I have yet to see one maneuver in any sense other than a gun boat, i.e.: that is the only attribute the A20 can bring.

On that token, please quit the game next time you get killed.

I remember reading somewhere that real p51 pilots would target bullets on the road in front of some German tanks. The bullets would bounce off the road and go through the light armor on the underside of the tank.

bullets would loose most of its energy when they hit the ground. that's why there's 100's of stories of soldiers hit on the head with bullets that ricochet and only left a bruise.

What's the key command in AH for your jeep gunner to throw a grenade into an open tank commander's hatch 100 yards away?
-
Beware, I have a blackbelt in Newtonian Physics. I believe the source of this info to be authentic (a book on wwii air combat by somebody that was there.) Yes the bullets would lose energy when they hit the ground. How much depends on several factors mostly affecting the elasticity of the ground (packed earth, concrete, pavement or stone, moisture content, temperature--below freezing? etc.) and the bullets. I would think the bullets would be lead, but if they happened to be steel, this is a very elastic material. The bullets would be packing quite a punch before they hit the ground so they could afford to lose some. Because sometimes soldiers were bruised by ricochets doesn't mean that at other times they weren't killed. I know of someone who was killed by an accidental ricochet from a hunting rifle off a steel granary (my father actually knew him and I believe my father, a very honest man--the bullet would be lead in this case.)
Crash Orange, just to blow my credibility completely out of the water, there was an incident where a mortar operator saw a tank coming down the road he was beside into a valley with his hatch open, so he did the most reasonable thing and lobbed a mortar round into it.
Speaking of aimbots, there was a Canadian who is famous for encountering a German tank coming down a road with ten or so soldiers riding on it. He was hiding in the ditch and was in a heck of a predicament because they would surely discover him as they drove past. Luckily he had at hand: 1. a machine gun, 2. an anti tank gun. You know what comes next.

I forgot how to drive the GV's so this might help :cool:

An LTAR forgetting how to drive a GV??? BLASPHEMY!!!

I once heard that Denys Rodman had a woman fall through the ceiling and into his bed naked.

I stopped reading after dogfighting 163s.

Dedalos: all true I assure you. The tank story was reported on the CBC news, Canada's national TV broadcasting company. During a war as big as WWII with so many people involved and lasting for years, you are going to get a few amazing stories. How many amazing stories occur in Aces High?
