Okay, so we were playing on that snowy map with the two big bridges as the germans and I was driving a PnZ IV towards the left side bridge whena big ole t-34 comes rolling across. My gunner fired and it bounced off the turret, then the T-34 returned fire and missed. I had a tough choice, I knew that t34 could outclass our tank so I made my choice. The t34 was moving on side angle to us so I throttled up and moved into ramming position. I hit it dead center with the panzer 4 and actually flipped it on its side! I was so impressed. Thanks Tripwire for a great game.
Good story

LOL actually, a 40 ton tank should not be able to flip over, just because another tank hit it. But good job, lol.
no its possible, he was on a slope to the side, so he was off center. Wouldnt be that hard IRL to pull off.

Imagined he was on level ground. Even if it was a slope, the tank should only slide down the slope if anything, not totally flip over. But maybe I am just talking out of my ass and it is possible.
gosh ...
gosh ...
Considering the slow speeds and weight of the tanks it should not be possible
But the crash would bang the crew up badly, maybe even knocking em out...
But when the tanks crashes they have a tendensy to bounce really stupid

You're lucky to have managed to flip a tank. I've used that as a final tactic before, but I always end up having my flaming wreck of a tank slowly bump into the opponents T34.

ye well tanks are heavy so the ground under kinda crumbles and when on a slope and then hit it falls opver becus of some rwiersd RESonmAN

There is a genuine photo in 'The Island of Fire' of a BA-10 armoured car (like the one below) which had been hit in such a way that it had flipped onto its ass with the radiator grill pointing skywards.
I can imagine the German gunner who did that saying, "WTF!! How many points do I get for that?"

In a friendly once grinch in a su76 rammed at panther (being outgunned) i happened to spin my turret to the position just in time to shoot the bugger in the under belly thus killing it
Yeah, I'm sure it's the same picture. It look pretty flat around there, so I I doubt it fell from some high round out of shot of the picture.Recce, is this it?
Which website did you find it?
That's all I need thanks - I just have never seen that style of building in that kind of environment before. Thanks.
