RO2 Tanks Video

[APX]

Yes i can see how it is, you just really don

 

[H.Beale]

Ya, the turret still moves with mouse

Are you sure about this? That would suck really bad.

 

[Altus]

I just hope that the AP rounds in RO2 indeed do have an explosive filler, cause if they do, then the turret crew should have been killed on the first penetration of the turret in that video.

 

[Kashash]

I think the time to switch the position in tank should take a bit longer beacuse after all crew would be quite shocked after a penetration. Now it seems like if you shoot at the turret and kill a commander, the driver of that tank will switch to commander and shoots you before you even load another AP shell.
Will there even be any after-penetration shock effects in RO2?

!

So is this what the tank combat in the final game will look like?

The only thing I'm seeing is tanks just plinging away at each other at ranges where every shot would pretty much penetrate. At 15:20 there's P4 firing 6 (!!!!) shots into the SIDE of a T34 turret at pretty much point blank range, and its turret is still rotating right before the last shot finishes it off.

At 17:00, even after getting hit right in the front of the turret twice it still manages to return fire? T34s have decent armour, but their turret armour will never ever hold a 75mm round back from that range.

So, is tank combat still in beta or is it going to stay like this?

Also, member Nowotny posted this in another thread before it was closed.

I would like to see this point discussed.

He shot the first tank at the point where turret connects to the tank angle was front left to back right. So it hit the engine ?
The second tank he hit the ammo stack and also the third ?
those are atleast the 2 insta kill points for Panzer IVG ?

I might need to go and visit Tank museum to see exactly where they are located on T-34

One thing that I noticed that when the guy looked into the vision ports on the side of the T-34 turret they seemed to be blocked, why is that? plated over?

 

[Rattler]

I was wondering about that too.

 

[APX]

-RPM indicator (?) on the right side of the driver panel is working (from 1:18 to 1:50)

That is Ot/min and rpm/min translated in english.

Could be as T34/85 doesn

 

[choolio]

it was mentioned somewhere along the line, that, if one of your crew members gets killed by a penetrating round it would cause "a gory mess" inside the tank ...

so, we have already seen (video) some blood stains inside the hull (after the commander got hit somehow) but where is the body?

I also remember reading somewhere, that we actually would have to drag the bodies of our killed tank members away from their position. Is that so?

 

[NightriderAOF]

After watching this, and the other video released earlier today - it looks like the turret is now controlled with the mouse rather than your movement keys on the keyboard.

Could be wrong, but if you look closely you see a little cross type thing, as if to indicate a mouse pointer - which then coincides with him moving the turret.

Not sure if I like that.. will take some practice!

They confirmed this long ago. Turret doesn't move as quick as your mouse.

Panzer 4 was penetrating, but it wasn't hitting areas which would kill the tank, only crew.

 

[APX]

There is no T-34/85 in HoS.

I know. So what i was answering if you read it, was that the view port is plated over perhaps. It seemed to be a weak point if you look how it

 

[Altus]

What bothers me is that after the turret gets penetrated 5 times with APCBCHE rounds and when everyone inside it should have been killed by either direct hits or spalling, it's still somehow operational

 

[Field Marshal Rommel]

It hit the Engine and the Ammo rack the 2 points where you can kill the tank.

T34 might have too much health points just like in the first RO or explosive filler might not be modeled? Devs could you please put up counterpart to the OP video of the T34 vs PanzerIV this time showing the PanzerIV vs the T34?

 

[Altus]

...explosive filler might not be modeled?

This is what I'm afraid of. If this is the case and it hasn't been modeled, the AP rounds are gonna be very silly.

 

[BlackLabel]

this IS awesome...almost close to Kharkov STEEL FURYs simulation...sweeeeettttttt

 

[NoxNoctum]

I'm no expert but the recoil when the tanks fire seems excessive.

Other than that looks great.

I was wondering that as well.. I paused the video, in all of the videos that demonstrate the pistol port and it seems as though there is nothing to see out of it.. like there is a smudgy window on it.
