Title: T34 turret angle
Post by: mactak on August 29, 2016, 02:46:53 PM
If its already been addressed please disregard. I noticed the turret angle was pretty steep on the T34. I sheepishly admit to landing 7 kills on aircraft Saturday and not one was a nose shot. More like shooting skeet. Which I admit was a skill in my earlier shotgun days, but probably not what the tank was designed for.

I just measured it and came to about the same 22° of maximum barrel elevation the T-34/85 had in real life.

Thanks Lusche. It just seems a little overly dexterous to me for a tank turret. I'll just keep having fun with it.  :cool:

Yeah the main gunning of aircraft in the game has gotten really out of hand. Wonder how many IL2's were shot down by main guns in real life. :O

Got my first aircraft kill in an M4 last night.  Might not be realistic, but sure was fun!   :devil

Never was much for tanking in AH2, but the new version has made it much more interesting.  Terrain is very cool and discovered that the tank actually climbs up and over the building debris in the street.  Blasted a town to pieces and got 5 kills.  Fun!   :aok
