4G maingunner killed by engineer

(Livegame) BUG REPORT: 4G maingunner killed by engineer (26th of January 2012)

I was pretty sure that engineers (nowadays) carries HE-satchel, not HEAT.

Or is it working as intended...engineers (with HE) are able to kill tanks (brits and french) and panzers (axis)?

Thank you and carry on.

There isn't a question of whether they should or shouldn't be able to kill tanks- the game engine calculates the consequences of a charge being placed at the given spot. Having said that, I would guess that what has happened to you happened due to a bug and the charge warped in the tank accidentally.

My personal lost wasn't so huge. You kill and get killed...panzers comes and goes.

But, if this thing (getting killed in 4G by an engineer) is coming to be a trend. It is going to affect game balance.

Maybe this is something we have to test further. How and if HE-satchels damages tanks and panzers (and how often).

Sapped tigers with engineer saps its just pure luck on the whole ..most u can do reliably is track tanks

My bet would be that it was a concussive kill. Some crew are closer to the walls than others. This gunner might just hae a sweet spot where the massive explosives of a satchel charge can give him a concussive kill.

You can test for these easy on beta.

I tested (as french engineer against 4G) on training server. But i couldn't kill maingunner with engineer satchel.

Anyhow, i got killed on liveserver (back then). So, i guess...it just might happen on liveserver or it is somekinda (not regular) bug.

Thank you for your co-operation. Carry on!

I spent a few hours testing HE with squaddies and was unable to get a kill on any main gunner on any axis tank. If there is a "spot" i havent found it. Its more likely the charge clipped the tank.

Maybe it was placed as the tank was firing causing movement from the gun recoil?
