[DOC]

We weren't able to replicate any ability to kill a Tiger tank frontally with a Bofors gun, or from any other angle either, in testing. Were you able to do this yourself in a test example ?

If not, I suspect it's a spurious CS&R database result and not an actual kill at all. These things have been known to happen, such as a Beford killing a Destroyer, which is clearly not possible as an actual player interdiction event outcome. Databases are not 100% perfect 100% of the time, and ours is no exception.

We're working on improving it.

Were you tracked by the bofor then perhaps finished off by something else?

I havent done any testing on it, but this is an issue. I have been killed in stug3g and Sherman 75 & 76 by bofors

Commander up? With commander up, a bofors can kill any tank (by sending shrapnel down the hatch). In fact you can even kill a tiger with a brit grenadier that way for instance.. make the charge blow up against the commander. I suppose that you can do the same with the German one even easier.

Im pretty sure it was a bofors, well i had alot of rounds being flung at me rapidly, however, like oldzeke said i could have been tracked, which would register the kills, will test on trainer serve when i get a chance

My very first Tiger mission - 17 kills and KIA from a fairmile AA gun.

All you can do is chuckle and smash your hand with a hammer while saying "Why do I do this to myself?".

Commander up can not killl a Sherman only commander.

Remember hes rotating on top an armored disk and has no legs

Is that particular to the Sherman? Does it mean that you can't kill a Sherman with a rifle then?

[drkmouse]

There are times any unit can kill any other unit ( cept maybe a ope on a matty

Quirky things do happen.

I'm thinking there are some bugs in the tiger model.

Had guys from 23rd report a DAC killing a tiger too(also in csr)

No kills on matties by opels, but 4 Char B1 Bis dead to opels!

If we have 5 players we can put 4 bofors around a tiger and just pound the hell out of him.

old story ... i got killed by a BOFORs 3x already i think in the last campaigns. and i wasnt the only one

i posted a report about this "event" before already... some months ago

i also tested it with a mate from 7.ID ... but we couldnt replicate it so far.

and NO... i had no commander out ... and the Bofors was always the killer and only guy shooting at me. and NO i didnt get tracked... it was in most cases one of the first hits when they got me frontal. even at 1.5k distance... or just 300m. i sense there is something fishy with shells "warping" into the hull/turret because of lag or a vulnerable spot

There is nothing wrong with 2pndr armed tanks killing tigers. The shell penetrates the weakest point of the tiger with only a couple of millimeters to spare.

would be nice if axis could kill allied best tanks (S76/C7) with their armoured cars (232/IIc) too

[mdundee]

2lbr is an anti-tank gun, 232/pz2 cannon doesn't have the same punch. remember, this game isn't red vs blue, it's rock paper scissors. This unit is best used in this situation, which is vulnerable to this other unit, which is vulnerable to this other unit.

Actually i think it is since the dac/panhard were modelled not to be able to kill the tiger anymore?
