DB7 bombs

[bronco69]

way too overpowered

i just got degunned by DB7 bombs in my IV G. even took out my main MG... plus 1 bomb later my hull MG got degunned

none of my crew injured ... not tracked... engine not smoking or dead. just my guns dead

srsly WTF ???

they drop bombs 30m above your head ... with only 100kg

but when we drop our 250s at 300m or lower we blow ourself up and cant kill tanks like MATTY or Sherman with near misses

i think CRS really has to check those bombs

Bronco - you posted this in the "Testing and Bug Reporting" area.

The Whine Thread is that way >

[doch]

Another qualified and well argued complain.

Bronco, you realize there is no way for you to know where the bomb actually landed right? So, when you got degunned, that 100kg bomb may well have, dare I say it, landed right on the farking tube.

You need to spend more time ventilating those preciously scarce breaincells you got than whining over stuff you have no knowledge of.

2 bombs in a row ... hitting my main gun + main MG ... and next run my hull MG directly ??

Once the ground guys told me it was you, I thought I'd have a little fun and dismember you, like pulling the wings off a fly. Wish I had brought a Blen 1 instead.

Perhaps, perhaps something else, perhaps you made this up. The issue at hand is that you complain about something you have no knowledge of and something where you font know what happened.

Perhaps the first bomb hit the barrel, perhaps the next one the frontal hull, there are endless possibilities, which you cant know anything about, and which doesent suggest the bombs are too powerfull.

Do you even know how these bombs works in game?

The brits tested less powerfull bombs (GP 250) against the a13, and shrapnell was able to penetrate the armor at close range, with the bombs not even hitting the tank it self. Maybe, if you read up on these things, you will realize that a more powerfull bombs will be fully able to make swiss cheese of any barrel from a close hit- easily.

you should play lottery when 1st hit is right on barrel disabling both guns

and 2nd hit straight on my hull MG

eh?

never heard of anyone getting degunned by bombs... specially MG in a tank

[soulucky]

[raven4]

I just want to laugh and laugh and laugh at this thread.

[bronco69]

funny that always the same allied trolls enter my/axis threads eh?

any post of an axis bug gets jumped by allies saying: NO NO NO !! you are wrong... and you have better optics so stop crying. bla bla bla

i remember when i posted about flipping 109 when i got hit by allied bullets in the tail. that time allies jumped my thread too saying im total wrong. but DOC posted later on he really found some bug/error. so?

Maybe you werent degunned by a bomb, maybe you thought so, but something else degunned you.

The point is, you dont know, and if we were to count the times players thought something happened that never did, well, we could do nothing else.

What you should have done, instead of the typical uninformed whine based on nothing but your bias, was to ask question firstly on how bomb shrapnel will be able to make pretty holes in any barrel, so you understand what RL would be like.

But you jump to conclusions.

[smythes]

Attitude.

You've got the wrong sort at the moment.

That was at beginning of Reims battle. No navy in... only paras

No sapper on me... and I was camping the para spawn from the NE.corner of AF

No ATGs... no ETs. JUst planes strafing. No other plane was strafing me in the moment the bomb hit me. I was shooting all the time. So I knew exactly when I got degunned

i'm locking this.

so long slpr

So you where on an airfield....where there are a _lot_ of aircraft?

[fxmmauser]

I have been playing allied for awhile and using tanks and my gun barrel as never been disable.

This happen alot to me on axis.

If we don't have a system that shows after sortie the ballistics and bomb calculations as seen on rat videos we will never be able to tell if it was a bug, if it was realistic or unrealistic or simply luck and skill.

Without this there will be constant screaming and rage that could be easily resolved and avoided. ( that keeps showing regularly on forums and ingame chat)

allied barrels are mostly very small compared to axis

think of TIGER / StuG G / IV G barrels

very easy to degun

allies have it easier because their barrels are in most cases smaller/shorter but have about same performance

Ahh, so now you whine over the large and powerfull axis guns. m sure we can have CRS echange the long axis 75mm and the tiger 88 with 37mm guns, so they are smaller and harder to degun.

Or, we could all pretent the larger guns really arent larger, its all imaginary, just as the vicky is a smaller target than a churchill.

[hick]

ok, since this has turned into a borderline flamefest, it's now closed.

That said, to the OP: If you feel there is a problem, feel free to start a new thread where the issue is described in detail and specifically (not OMG Bomb took out my gun!, HAX!!) along with a controlled testing criteria to reproduce the problem.

Additionally, post reference information that supports your position so the Rats can determine the need/priority for the changes you request.
