Title: me-410 should able to kill tanks..with guns alone
Post by: bangsbox on November 14, 2011, 07:42:38 PM

will the me-410 be able to kill tanks with guns alone?  since we dont have the he129 or a ju87/ju88 with tank killing guns. I think a loadout gun package for killing tank should be added to the comming me410.

So you are asking for the Me410 to have capabilities it truly didnt have in WWII? 

I'll put $100 on the table that says that HTC will not go that route.  :aok

Any plane can 'kill' a tank with guns alone.  I get a ton of dweebs straffing King Tigers w/ 50 cals repeatedly that state, "I've killed tanks with them before!" not realizing they're just gaming the damage model and stealing someone elses kill while not doing anything... and hopefully while in fighter mode and destroying their accuracey percentage.

The 50mm if fired from above and at enough of an angle should be able to kill some of the lighter tanks (maybe) if you punch through the thinner upper armor. That wouldn't be unrealistic at all. It's just like the NS37 on the YakT can, and just like the 75mm on the B-25H can. It wasn't meant to, but if you do it right you can get a kill.

I haven't pulled up the numbers but I would imagine it is mostly useless against panthers, tigers, T-34s, and probably the firefly. Those seem to be rather heavily armored.

I don't think it would be the first tank killer choice, what with the IL2, the Hurr2D, and the Stuka cookie being better suited for that task.

That would be a bug.  Film it and send it to HTC.
