I just attacked P42 on ndisles with my trusty Panzer. (PzKpfw IV Ausf. H)
As I shell away at the enemy CV, I notice tracers passing me and plonk-plonk sounds of rounds hitting.
Sure enough, theres an an enemy LVT2 blaring away at me from 800 yds.
"Neues Ziel, 2 Uhr 800 Meter !" I yell at the Richtschütze. The turret swings around, "Liegt an !", he answers.
"Feuer !" I order, and the trusty PzGren 39 AP round hits the LVT squarely in the center of his side, from a 90 degree aspect.
I expected his reaction to be to explode, however now he starts moving.
"Feuer !"
A total of 10 AP round hits to various locations did nothing to the LVT. "Das war die letzte." the loader tells me, so I order to load 7.5cm SprGr42 HE rounds to be loaded. One to his front, and he's pouring thick, black smoke. A second, and he blows up like a firecracker.
Shouldn't the AP rounds have killed him ? IMO the first shoulda have taken him out. And why did he succumb to HE ? He's armored after all. Damage lag is no possible explanation, shooting 10 rounds takes time...
Was zur Hölle ist da los ?
