So Tuff either got very lucky or he knows there is a bug and is exploiting it, anybody care to grab him and find out which?

[munchkin]

Tuff is not the kind of player that would take advantage of an exploit, I can guarantee that.

I know that much, but this is for the sake of maintaining neutrality about something that could be a very serious bug. It'd be best to have him answer here on exactly how he killed those Tigers so we can come to a judgment about how serious this bug may or may not be.

HE bug is back...

[nobipure]

Although the two tigers might claim it not to be the case, but as I posted earlier, if the commander is out of the tiger you can smack him with HE and the explosions will eventually kill the gunner. Really hard to do, and if that is what happened here then 600m away it is almost impossible to hit the commander enought to get a gunner kill I would think.

I've never been able to do it in game, but tested it extensively on the training server with a squaddie and he has been able to do it in game, but at about 100-200m if I remember correctly, and even then the Tiger was enfilade (going downhill facing the bofors) making a shot onto the open commander hatch easier...

But twice in one sortie smells like stinky cheese to me honestly... not saying a hack but a possible bug...

[Oswald]

Hence why I never drive those POS.

Considering how inaccurate the bofors is that'll be almost impossible to answer. It's just not possible to aim at a certain point of a tank, not even at a few hundred meters, so he probably did like I usually do when one appears, aim at it and fire as much as I can to distract and disturb. The only ones who can say how he got a kill are the rats.

And, also do remember that cs&r is not trustworthy.

[bronco69]

i didnt have driver slit open... and i didnt have commander out !

[munchkin]

I wonder...

[tuff]

don't know man...saw the tracers shooting,, fired at them..I got killed. I got credit for both tigers, the only other time i killed a tiger with a bofors was when the hatch was open.

[GOPHUR]

I'll spend some time this afternoon blasting a tiger with a bofors. See what I find. Not expecting much but I'll look.

maybe a bug that just occur only on LIVE SERVER ??

no idea... maybe because of the lag that aint on training server. and i dont mean that normal ping time

Or there was more that just you and the bofors fighting it out on the live server. How do you know it was the bofors that killed you?

I've gotten a kill credit on a tiger with a 2lber frontally. A squaddy of mine had placed a satchel on the tiger while i was distracting him with the 2lber. I've received a kill credit on a DD with a camle as I watched a bell flame it with a bomb while I was shooting at it.

he was the ONLY one shooting at me... its in the CSR too

he got my kill credit and he shot at 2nd TIGER too... and got him too

[munchkin]

You can't be absolutely sure about this. The scoring system is by no means logical. You could have been shot by an ATG or a sapper that you didn't notice because of all the noise and shake from the bofors shells.

The rats have said a number of times that the one who scores the kill isn't necessarily the one that made the biggest damage. CS&R only tells you who scored the kill, not how many that was shooting at you. And, as I said before, CS&R is by no means anything I'd trust fully anyway.

[odds]

Can you still track a Tiger with bofors??

[tuff]

there was lots of stuff shooting at you.

[elegance]

Easily. But frontal degun is (almost?) impossible.

[munchkin]

Degunning should be possible really. Imagine yourself what will happen with anything that is hammered with a few hundred 40mm shells. The heat from those hundreds of high explosives alone could cause damage enough to make the main gun unusable.

It won't by any means destroy the tank or penetrate the hull but pure logic says that the damage done could be "fatal" anyway.

On the other hand. Considering how much of a joke the accuracy of the bofors is ingame, compared to the real world where it was one of the most accurate guns in existance, the spread of the hits should make it more of a nuisance than anything else.

It is possible there is some funkiness there. Some controlled testing would be easy to do with 3 accounts.

Not the same topic, but witnessed a church 7 getting killed by a low grade aaa gun, on 3rd person view, the aaa gun had managed to clip into the tank, tha tank flamed up quickly. Expected result though, the clipping not so much, just reporting that this clipping is still possible, it was in beta .13 build too.
