Title: How many rounds for town buildings
Post by: pembquist on April 26, 2011, 04:57:24 PM: This is since the new patch: I shot 13 HE rounds from a panzer point blank at a town building and nothing happened. Is this normal ? http://trainers.hitechcreations.com/vehicles/vehicles.htm (http://trainers.hitechcreations.com/vehicles/vehicles.htm)

says it should take 2 but I'm pretty new at the GVs

I fired from the commander position and the gunner position.

Also, I'm remembering that the top round counter, (upper left commander pos.,) I assumed was for the hull or pintle would go down by one with each cannon shot.

Is the chart at the link correct?

2 HE rounds from a panzer should take out a building. Keep in mind, if a building was already down it *USED* to be that the round would then pass right through it. They've changed it so that if you now hit what's left of a building, it will stop the shot.

I have a feeling you were hitting the wall of a building that was already collapsed.

Post by: fuzeman on April 27, 2011, 03:00:56 PM: Just to clarify, and excuse the very basic nature of my question, it was definitely an enemy building, correct?

After a new patch some pages are not updated immediately. That page does not have the bigger gun shown on the M3 chassis so It has not been updated to latest patch.
Usually though something like destroying a building wouldn't change that much version to version.

Was this change part of the latest upgrade/patch?

Just last week I was sitting in an Ostwind, in town, blasting the hell out of buildings by shooting right thru the ones that I destroyed in front them.

Post by: pembquist on April 27, 2011, 07:12:44 PM: I wouldn't put it past me Mausil but I don't think so. The "incident" happened after the upgrade but before the patch that fixed stuff so I guess it took care of itself, I should have tried recreating it before posting but it takes a long time to drive into an enemy town and people are always trying to stop you for some reason.
