Whoever it was that made one of the many posts about the little hats on heavy tanks that make excellent target practice that I read, I want your babies. Took a BDR G1B down to 2 armour (not percentage!) in 2 shots with the JagdPz IV, then put a KV-1S off reprimanding me for doing so by knocking off about 1/3 of his armour in his ol' hat.
First time this thing's actually done some large, fast damage to anything but a scout!
It feels so cheesy destroying tanks by simply shooting at their cupola all the time. :v:

I love the feeling when a tank with thick turret armour tries to facehug me and I just shoot his cupola once to finish him. :v:

So um, I was just in my fully upped ferdinand on airfield and I dinged a pz38na.
Either unluckiest diceroll as fuck or this 12.8 seriously needs a buff.
Just how do you ding a light tank with 50 armor tops with a fucking 246 pen gun?

I dinged off an ELC AMX's ass on the test server yesterday
[I]with an AMX AC 1948[/I].
I think I have a replay of it.
After reviewing it, it said "penetration" then it dinged so I probably hit some spaced armor or non-hitbox part of armor.

I bounce tons of stuff off my chaffee, when I clearly shouldn't (BL-10's 130mm's....). For one, if the piece it hits is at a angle greater than 70 degrees, it will bounce. Since scouts aren't really a "aim for the weakspot" vehicle, rather "aim at general mass" a turning and shifting scout can put the shot somewhere where it will bounce. Then there is also penetration loss over distance, penetration randomization and apparently armour homogenization factor.
If the shot was further away, you had a low roll, and the armor was at 65 degrees or greater, I could see it happening.
Just had a lovely match in my beloved T28prot. After several defeats I get another team that completely manages to die within 3minutes. Only me and a KV4 stay alive against about 10 enemies. I single-handedly took on a VK4502pA and a TigerII together, ammoracked a full health IS3 and brawled with several other heavies and came out victorious. During the time I managed to take on 9 tanks and win our legendary kv4 struggled to kill a badly damaged kv5 and a crappy tier arty.

T28Prot. is by far my favorite TD. I only need 10k more for the T30, but I don't think I can part with my beautiful Prototype.
Goon, how can you hit targets while moving? You seem to get really lucky dicerolls, or is the mobile accuracy of the PzIII just that good?
[QUOTE=lintz;36859544]Goon, how can you hit targets while moving? You seem to get really lucky dicerolls, or is the mobile accuracy of the PzIII just that good?[/QUOTE]
Dicerolls, you shoot so fast and the shells are so cheap that missing is really only a minor inconvenience
It's like a table top game, it's not about attempting to skillfully influence random chance because you can't, your influence on the dice ends as soon as they leave your hand, just like how your influence on a shell in world of tanks ends as soon as it leaves your gun, barring point blank shots, it's up to the dice roll gods weather you hit or not. you could try stopping to center your shot but most of the time you don't have that luxury.
So go for Plan B: Throw as many dice at your enemy as you possibly can because no matter how big the crosshair gets, statistically speaking, some of those shots have to fly straight.
Also goon, what crosshair mod do you use? Looks neato :buddy:

I just use the countdown timer that comes with XVM even though I don't actually have XVM installed :v:
I don't need all that stuff on my screen, I only need to know how much time before I can blow up the metal box in front of me.

Some guy on the WoT forums ranting about the JP E-100 (and German tanks in general, the usual "russian bias op nerf pls" rant)
[QUOTE]The gun is derp. It says .35 but it does not act it. 704 seems much more accurate and it should not be.[/QUOTE]
Oh the delicious tears, now they know how it feels to be firing ground seeking shells. I should really stop reading these, it's gonna give me an aneurysm from the pure stupidity (especially that balticwhatever guy and the other dude with a M103 avatar).
[editline]21st July 2012[/editline]
(although I disagree with the Test #2 JP E-100 nerfs, it was alright in #1.)
So I'm playing defense on campinovka, and am on my way down the hill to watch the side in my 3/4. I didn't see a guy in a bush and bumped him down to 92% health, me down to 88%. I said sorry, but then the butthurt asshole shoots me twice and knocks me down to 30% health.
What the fuck, asshole

You have to remember that if you keep shooting, it becomes matter of great numbers. You can't tell which shots will hit, but if you shoot ten shots, you are probable to hit five. If you think "I am inacurrate now, I would probably miss most of the time" you hit nothing.
Finally got the best engine for T-50. And I do have to say - it's a nice piece of work that can excel greatly if your teammate support you. Which of course means, never.
AMX 50B's gun is so much goddamn fun to use.

I never bothered buying that after I finished the 50 120. Seems like a copy with more health and slightly faster reload.
