Killed an IS-2 crew with a nade.

[kabex]

I was playing on Odessa, and had run out of Panzerfausts as I had taken out 2 is-2's and missed one shot. Another IS-2 approached and I had nothing for it, I was just waiting for the crew to be stupid and peak out or whatever, then I thought about throwing a nade to the engine and see what happened.

I did it, perfect throw, it landed and sat right on the engine where the "grill" is. When the nade exploded one tank crew died... I don't understand?

I was damn happy, I'll tell you that. I threw another one but nothing happened, I believe there was still 1 guy there.

You sure it was Odessa? Odessa doesnt have tanks, or does it?

 

[.KilrBe3]

Nope. There is no Tanks on Ordessa. Yes, Nades are really gay in ROOST. There more powerful than a tank shell The Devs, really need to change that.

 

[kabex]

Oops sorry, it was Arad.

 

[Witzig]

Well i died only once to a Grenade while being in an IS-2 and that was on Barashka.

After we did have a Shootout with a Tiger on 300m... Thing is we were both angled in a Way that neither good really take out the other. We were left without Engine, without our Left Track, and with a nice Red Hull, while the Tiger wasn't even smoking, though we did put all except 3 AP Rounds of the little 122mm Gun... Well... sometime a little bugger of infantrist comes along and throws a Nade onto us... BOOM, i guess we did in fact have some holes were Grenade Fragments could enter... Can't explain that to me otherwise. Since we did take over 30 Hits from the 88 of the Tiger, and didn't die... (Had a Red hull after the 4th Hit)...

BTW there needs to be a "knock out" thing that happens to tank crew when hit very hard in a soft spot, it happened in the war. Some tank crews were killed or knocked out after being hit hard by a shell, even if the tank was still operational.

Yes the sheer concusive force of the round hitting caused whiplash and the like, and the insides of a tank aren't nearly as soft as in an upholstered and plastic automobile so you can imagine what hitting your head on something would do.

 

[[CoR]MiccyNarc]

A high explosive round should really do that.

According to wikipedia a simple molotov cocktail to the engine deck will disable most tanks

That is true most of the ww2 tanks would overheat in that situation.

Either the Commander or Driver was unbuttoned and was killed. If you look at the Su-75 you can kill the gunner simply by going behind it and shooting him. But I would have been suprised if you said it had destroyed the entire tank.

 

[kabex]

Yeah, I was thinking we should have Gebalte Ladung(sp?) and Molotov's, as it is realistic and their absence is sad.

Sort of related, in the mod it seemed it was impossible to kill people inside an open halftrack. You could see them sitting inside but you could not hit them with bullets and if you put a nade right on top of the vehicle nothing seemed to happen when it went off. I am not talking about the #2 MG position, but the driver and the #3, 4, 5 postions et al.

Does anyone know if, in RO:O, you can firing into those people now from above, or if you can throw nades INSIDE a half track?

I havent tried, but the soviet armored car, you cant hit the machinegunner with any bullets, only explosive/ap works, you must destroy the car. And yes it was upside down or something.

 

[Panzer Meyer]

I haven't had a problem with killing people inside a half track at all. However as far as the driver goes that's a bit different. He has a little more protection than the MGer or the passangers. Same goes for the SU76, it's open, you can kill the gunner fairly easily.

I think that might be a bug of sorts, the grenade killing the crew of the IS-2.

 

[Salkin]

Tanks need support from other vehicles or infantry or they are supposed to be vulnerable.
It should be a very viable tactic to assault an unprotected tank. Maybe infantry shouldn't have the ability to blow the tank but they should certainly be able to disable the tracks or gun.

IS 2 killed with a nade

IS 2 killed with a nade

Hello Jamoke,

I also had a great time fighting a IS-2 with nothing but a nade. I came across one smoking but still moving when I throw a german stick nade direct under the engine from the back. BAM and it stopped. I expected the crew to bail but nothing. I threw the 2nd nade and it brewed up really nice. Killed all 3.

sometimes they arent' sometimes they re...

You stand behin d a little tree stump, a grenade explodes on teh other side of it, and you live.
same with an HE shell.

F1's are sooo hard to kill with when they owned in the mod. The germans are a bit too good adn the f1 too weak i think..

Reminds me of a story I heard once about a shell hitting some tank... I can't remember the specifics but I do remember that in the end, from the sheer concussive force of the shell, the crew was reduced to pink gelly (literally). Something to do with the vibration of the tank and what not, though I honestly cannot remember the specifics. I ought to look that story up again.
