In Ogledow as a russian, this panther is too close to our spawn (if you facing the exit of russian spawn, he was to the left at the bottom of hill 247.2). EVERY single shot from me and this other friendly tank (in one of the T76 versions, on top of the hill) richochet off , after all 3 tanks fire about 4 shots (all richocheted). My teammate on the hill just guns it... and well... just look (oh yes, my MS Paint skills suck). Click to enlarge.
A little more happened after that last shot, which I unfortunatly don't have pictures of, so heres what happened. One of the crewmen (actually, might have only been 1 guy in there) exited, but because the tank was on its side, he was put on the tanks side that was sticking into the air and then he fell off and got crushed by the friendly tank . All the while this was happening, I was shooting at the panthers flat top to no avail (on both sides of the turret, front and rear). Anyways, right after the guy got crushed, a IS2 shot the panther in the rear and BOOM!. I know soviets did ram german tanks, but it did not have anywhere near this amount of pushing effect. I saw a similar scenario on another server too, my conclusion... tone down ramming (if thats even possible, could be a engine limitation/problem). Its a little to easy to just gun it and flip a enemy tank. Of course if our shots hadn't been richocheting over and over, this probably would have never happened, so I guess reduce the richochet angle as well (sometimes it happens a lot, other times it doesn't happen at all, kinda wierd, kinda random, even a well placed shot on the flat part of a tank can richochet). Anyone else seen this tank flipping or do it themselves?
