ATR's Overmodeled

[pbfarmer]

How in the hell are .50 cal ATRs blowing up med and heavy tanks? This is so unrealistic and total BS. Not knocking out engines or killing a driver, but blowing up a Church?? This needs to be more realistic and this needs to be fixed. Even at point blank range that .50 cal will not pierce med & heavy armor.

German round was 7.92mm (7th below).

Boys is a .55in (8th below)

You sure you were popped by an ATR in a Chur?

Anyway once you do get penetration, hitting an ammo round can set off a catastrophic fire.

Do you know Anti Tank Rifle infantry now carry a HEAT satchel?

I'm axis and its impossible to kill a church with ATR unless your driver has his hatch open.

Most of good allied tanks are invincible against ATR like the S35, Sherman, church, Matty and char the rest like the Crusader, stu, H39 are very hard to kill you need to be well position to get a kill.

ATR INF carry now only 1 HEAT satchel(can only kill 1 heavy tank), Sapper/engineer carries 4 HE which is mostly useless against tanks.

You can go ahead and see Axis Atr Guides there is no spot to kill a church and the tanks I mention above.

I advice to go axis for a full campaign and see what we need in order to kill an allied tank.

Stu is so easy to kill with atr...go to training,shot back turret at good angle ,1 hit and gunner byebye and flank shot kill all crews

Are you aware that all vehicles with a critical component kill blow up when they despawn?

I don't think an ATR can inflict enough damage to cause a brew up unless it starts a fuel fire.

Worth testing I guess.

ATR now carries a heat satchel. So if tanker gets sapped and killed the killer will be a ATR.

Still seeing in chat peeps that are unaware of the change from sapper to engineer.

[OLDZEKE]

I think some of the lighter armor you can hit the ammo with atr Gophur.

A13 and scout cars I think can be exploded by a atr.

OP probably got sacheled and engine kill or something... ATR plinking at him because the ATR was pissed the tank didn't die... Despawn - explosion - new thread in bug reports.

ATR bullets can't kill a churchill unless driver opens the hatch, even then it is not an explosion.

Unless the OP just exploded without despawn, then it was a sachel in the right spot, same as ever since HEAT sachels were introduced, except now the CS&R shows enemy ATR killed you.
