Ok, Here I am sitting in my Tiger and a Flak comes driving straight for me. About 100 ft I fire and nothing happens. He continues and drives right thru me and my Tiger blows up. So I try it. I take a Flak, drive straight at a Tiger, he fires same distance and I blow up before I can drive thru him. This is what is so screwed up with AH....inconsistancy. In another case I fire from my Tiger point blank 5 times at another Tiger and nothing happens. He fires once and takes out my guns. A second shot from a pnzr and I'm dead.

Welcome to Arcade High, Viking. :(
I had a tiger survive rockets, and bombs unscathed, only to be detracked and killed by a 37mm manned field gun.
Go figure eh?

In my experience these things just happen and to one extent ot another always have.
When u sense something aint quite right (or when your just plain out of luck), go to a different part of the map and try something different.
No sense getting all bunched up about it.

Granted, AH has some problems with wild inconsistency, but if you think that reality is so consistent, think again.

On his FE he didn't drive straight at you, or through you.
Though this is the first time I've heard of vehicles dying due to lag induced differences. That must have been some serious lag on his end or your end.

oh yea, the flak did drive into me. I blew up as his rear side was passing thru. The only thing I could think of since I have driven thru enemy gv before is that he fired a shot just as we merged as one thereby shooting the inside of my tank.
As for reality not being consistant either.... well I'm sure I could drive over a piece of wood with a tank about a cazillion times and I wouldn't blow up.
It's just AH's programming errors (or gameplay errors). When someone can shoot a half mile away with a tiger and kill my tiger yet I can sit to the backside of a tiger and put round after round in it and nothing happens, that's simply a messed up sim.

I was going to start a thread similar to this...although the title was gonig to be a bit different ;).
Last night I am in a tower and notice an enemy flakpanzer rolling down the hill towards my vh. So, I upped a tiger to intercept him.
When I get out the vh and train my guns on the flak, he's merrily shooting the vh. Obviously he was so intent on killing the VH he didn't see me as a threat. I open fire from point blank. Direct hit. Zero result. Again I fire, again nothing. I then switched my ammo load to HE shells. I fired two more times at the flak. Nothing. Apparently though, I've annoyed him enough because he starts to fire upon me. I circle around his machine, continuing to fire both AP and HE shells directly into him...from all angles. He gives up firing on me, and lays back into the VH, as his shells are just bouncing off the tiger. Finally, the VH explodes. He is sitting right next to it, so he simply exits his vehicle. I get no credit for a kill, because he wasn't damaged. In the end, I took a total of 16 shots at the flak, using both HE and AP rounds. I hit that thing from every angle.
Needless to say, it was rather frustrating.

Not saying anyone is right or wrong, but film it and post it. Without that it's all just open to interpretation as to what was happening. I saw a film once where the guy thought he was hitting the Ostie but was infact hitting a tree. If it's happening often for you, then a film shouldn't be a problem to get.
