Since when does a 20mm kill a wirb?

[Slate]

  I've heard that Wirbles fire back.    I just want the Panzer to penatrate like it used to.

Was it just a single 20mm round that killed it?

I broke wind in my Whirb once and my crew abandoned it.

Then a jeep came along and hit it with a .50 cal round and it immediately exploded...

I have killed 3 panzers using the mossie's guns...

  I ran up to a wirble and capped him with my .45................20mm would go right through them!

  Well is not the driver in the armor under the turret?

IIRC, the turret is open at the bottom too, because that's where most of the ammo is stored there and handed up to the turret.

Yes, he's inside where he'll cook up nicely when that thing catches fire.

I once killed a tiger with my spit8.   I was marking him and he blew up as a couple of 20mm hit him on the top.  so I guess the werbies should be easier to kill  .

it is well noted ostis and WW being shot to death by planes.

every crew member is exposed to plane fire (not to mention the ammo stored in it)

so to answer your question yes it is possible to kill a WW with 20mm cannons

I'd be willing to bet it is easier to completely destroy a Wirblewind via an eight gun P47 than it is using 20mm HE rounds.  Not that it cant be done, but I've only ever damaged the turret and tracks of *any* armored AFV, I've not destroyed anything completely with 20mm.  With the eight gun P47, I have been able to defeat the top rear armor of a Panzer IV but I think conditions were as perfect as it gets.  I was in an almost vertical dive (perpendicular impact for projectiles), my speed was rather slow all things considering, the Panzer IV H was parked, and I was able to hammer home many shots right at the convergence point dead center of the top rear armor.  Boom!

Otherwise, it is easy to damage the turrets of anything that has an open top.  The M18, Wirby, Osty, M16, etc.  They are are target fodder for aircraft.  I wish HTC would tilt things a wee bit more in favor of the gv's in terms of damaging them via aircraft guns.  I think it is way too easy.  Just sayin'

They all ready pushed back their visibility range.  Also a Wirblewind has a better chance of taking out a strafer then the strafee has a chance to kill or turret the wirblewind.  About 95% of the time I turret a wirble it is becasue its attention is focused elsewhere.
