HE vs Armored cars

[PETERPANs]

HE ammo should be stronger vs armored cars.

Suggestions:
1. allow HE to shatter crew inside for some seconds - blur view - make them blind, shake screen
2. make higher chance to flip armored car to one side if you shot it from side so you imobile it.
3. higher calibre (more than 50mm) of HE should imobile or damage speed vehicle by one direct hit.

Yes. Although I love RO1 with all my heart, I cringe every time I see a tank shell bounce off a clown car or halftrack. Same with HE shells not killing/disabling them.

The shells never BOUNCED off of lightly armored vehicles, EVER. But I did hate it when the clown car could survive a direct hit with an AP shell from a panzer 4.... its happened to me while I was the one with the clown car lol.

 

[slavek]

Yea pretty much what i meant. A clown car should not be able to survive a tank shell to the driver's compartment .

They bounced off the T34

Amoured cars shouldn't survive direct hits from HE shells, with AP it should matter where it penetrates.

Actually, HE shells of the 50mm and 75mm guns have a penetration capability of around 25-35mm, plenty for an APC like the 223, 251/1 or the BA-64.

The results would be the thing being blown to pieces (not literally).

sounds good

"being blown to pieces"

So make more love for HE tripwire, we need to fix it.

since when did RO2 have armoured cars?

they will include the Halftrack for the germans (and something similar for soviets) in a later update.

 

[Redit]

A HE shell from a fired from a KwK 40 L/43 at a UC would completely crush the frame. Same goes for a T34 firing at a Hanomag.

 

[SOAD]

so we are suggesting something that should be implemented around a year from now (assuming q3 release) whilst they are still trying to finish the original build of the game?

 

[Redit]

We?

10 characters.

I've had shells deflect off my Hanomag, very rarely.

They bounced off the T34

In many instances when they shouldn't have. But hey, that's RO1 armor coding for you.

There's a lot of that going around.

 

[slavek]

Yea, we shouldn't have people working on RS either since the host game has not been released yet .

No but in all seriousness, this is something that should be looked into and is worth talking about for the future implementation of light vehicles. If you have played RO1 and shot an armored car with a tank and have the thing ,on occasion, drive off with no damage at all you know there is a problem. The BA64 isn't THAT armored.

 

[<animal>INSTINCT]

I can't fathom an AP tank shell not stopping a clown car in its tracks

There isn't a whole lot of empty space in a clown car, so if the round didn't hit any areas vital to the vehicle's operation, then the round must have gone through the driver's compartment, which I'm pretty sure would kill any living thing inside.

As for deflecting tank rounds, I would think that a deflected medium tank round would knock ANY armoured car on its side.

i remember i was in a cromwall and i while lone tanking (no one wants to teamtank these days.) took out a tigerll (yea the driver was stupid and at low hp.) but he had the first shot and bounced off my side rear armor don't ask how it happened. im still at a loss for a whole bunch of stuff in what i just wrote.

whoops i just revived an old thread.

So true. Hopefully RO2 has an amazing Armour ballistic system and one day we will see a Kursk update or expansion with some EPIC tank battles.

 

[Inuki]

Mmmmmmmm....I'd love to see a 222 or 223 armored vehicle =)

 

[shaqism]

I hated going behind a tiger with a t34 85 and hitting it directly in the back and it reflecting
