[QUOTE=Covalent;51712091]how the fuck can someone be so horrible while knowing where everyone is on the map??[/QUOTE]
That's why it's a special case. It's the absolute worst cheater I've seen.
I don't actually comprehend how you can have a 37% W/R in RB too. At some point below 40-45%, you're actively hurting your team in some fashion.

Hellcat op
Well the M10 more than makes up for any grinding so far, and looks like the Hellcat may do the same lol
[QUOTE=Ta16;51711068]When you go into battle, carry only as much ammo as you need (10-15) ammo racks are simulated based on how much ammo you have. So less ammo = less ammo in the racks to get hit. [/QUOTE]
Not always. Refer to the wiki charts and images to see if it's worth taking less ammo, then determine how much you need and what breakpoints you can hit.

I always found it weird how ammo works the inverse of what you'd expect when going in with less.
You'd think they'd centralize the remaining ammo near the gunner to make his job easier, but instead the system just thinks you had a full tank and fired "x" rounds of ammo meaning it's all as far away from him as possible. This means you can't remove the huge reserve-blocks in some tanks like the Leopard, Cent/Caer, M41, T-44.
Imagine if ammo racks didn't empty out, so even when you had no ammunition left your ammo racks still appear full.

[QUOTE=Doom14;51714181]Cent/Caer[/QUOTE]
Centurion Mk 3 and Caernarvon racks actually work semi-decently compared to a lot of tanks - take 33 rounds or less and you empty that big frontal rack. Mk 10, not so much - the front is the last to empty :/
[editline]a[/editline]
Whoa, what... they've changed the Centurion Mk 3 since I last played it - 33 rounds no-longer empties the front racks, it seems.
Still works for Caernarvon though vOv
[editline]a[/editline]
28 rounds or less for Centurion Mk 3 now it seems.
[editline]a[/editline]
The front rack on the Strv 81 still empties at 33 rounds too.
Magic.

SHH, DON'T TELL. DON'T LET LORD SNAIL KNOW.
On an unrelated note, 1.65 "fixed" 30mm+ HE being able to kill AI medium (and light) tanks. That's a lie.
Shoot the tracks from the side. mk108 kills mediums easily.
NS-37, vickers S (whichever hurricane mk IV), NS-45, and pretty much anything => 30mm with a HE round can kill with it. Heavy tanks too (mk108 can't kill heavies tho)
So keep that in mind when grinding out a stock vehicle. Realistic Battles and Enduring Confrontation are both pretty good for finding lots of medium tanks and light pillboxes (everything listed above can also kill light pillboxes) without many people willing to try to stop you.

If you have any questions about what rounds can and cannot, ask here and I'll check the code for you. I can't think of any others off-hand, though. BK5/mk214a (German 50mm) can't with HE round. BK75 can. M4 (American 75mm) cannot, with HE at least.
I think I'm just going to stick with the Bf 109 G2 until I grind my way to the German Sabre or MiG-15. It seems to be in a pretty comfy spot.

The G6 is a worthy upgrade but it really needs those late engine mods to feel good
I want to grind the last of the IL2's (the one that's in the same level as the PE-8) so that I can at least pretend that I'm flying a plane but the 37mms when repaired are soooo nice on the IL2-37.

going up against the Hellcat is another thing altogether though :v:

Depends on whether or not it comes with good mobility
The object 906 for example has pretty bad mobility despite the decent hp/t ratio

The ultimate hard to kill vehicles are the no armor trucks like the flak 88 on the German side. It's basically impossible to one shot.

Shoot the giant ammo rack on the back
[QUOTE=scout1;51718313]Shoot the giant ammo rack on the back[/QUOTE]
I don't know about you, but ammo racks seem to rarely explode when the shell just passes through them, as opposed to exploding next to them.

If you have a fifty cal and they have their entire sides exposed, just spray in their general direction.
Once in my M13, I got jumped by a Wilberwind, a Flak 88 and a Panzerwerfer at the same time. Killed the three, at the cost of my transmission, and I wasn't even using a full AP belt
[QUOTE=sgman91;51718361]I don't know about you, but ammo racks seem to rarely explode when the shell just passes through them, as opposed to exploding next to them.[/QUOTE]
It's mostly a matter of doing enough module damage. If it goes black and doesn't explode, it will never explode. If it goes red/orange/yellow though, it needs another hit. There's actually two ammo modules back there so it's pretty rare that neither explodes.
If you find a 88 Flak Truck, and you fulfill the following requirements:
1. Have a roof .50 cal/12.7mm. Can be a DsHK or a M2 HB.
2. Have sufficient cover to peep it over a hill without exposing most or any your turret.
3. Have a key bound to "select MG" similar to "select secondary cannon." (Don't forget to have reset cannon selection bound too.)
Then you can do the obvious, peep your roof gun over a hill, hotswap to using a scoped version of it with now 1:1 boresight, and slowly pick apart their whole crew with your hot throbbing balans ))
Typically work from the left of the gun barrel facing them (gunner, loader #1), to the front (driver, radioman), back to the left of gun to get the gunner again if he's there, then to the right of the gun if someone's still sitting there. I've done this about 10 times now and gotten some rather [I]spicy[/I] reactions for having done so.
High calibre HE is also a firm dose of chemo
If you're a sky autist like me then there's always dieing and hopping in a plane with lots of guns
[QUOTE=Shibbey;51719681]High calibre HE is also a firm dose of chemo[/QUOTE]
Ye, I've found sub-90mm HE doesn't seem to affect them much for whatever reason.
If you're driving a Soviet tank with a 76 though, bring those Shrapnel shells. Those demonic rounds will obliterate the fuck out of light targets if they penetrate.
It's an open top vehicle, if you land the shell between the gun and the driver's cabin you can sometimes get a one-shot crew wipe because the back window is open
I found the brummbar to be the best "FuckTheFlak" vehicle, just though HE roughly in their direction and they will regret their life choice of being dicks. Add a hill between you and them, fire over it and induce nothing but PURE RAGE.
Well the Brummbar fucks everything that doesn't count
God damn, if T-35-85 wasn't such a disgusting over-performer I'd have to actually put some effort into grinding era 5 Russia.
