In the present environment the Matty shines. Then as the tiers advance there won’t be another shining Allied light until the Firefly enters the stage. So enjoy and suffer depending.....

sorry  not having a unit that can kill with impunity  does not make the other units  not  good or even great, jsut shows a person hwo only wants easy mode.

They are already know about Kempi and have been since the armour fix. Tex sent me a whole 19 page document for sapping the matty that was produced after the armour fix., which has been on the wiki since December.  

It was my way of making sure this un-killable tank is still killable

A single 109 with bombs tracked my Matty out of town and took me out of action...

And you do have a lot of fantasy 109's flying.

Ok after some testing here is what I found.

Maybe Sapper Guide needs updating to reflect on the changes?

 

Did you test live campaign or test server?

Cause on test server I found spots that do absolutely nothing in live campaign server.

Interesting I did this in Training server not the test server. Live and Training are running the same client, I can not see how this would effect the core mechanics of damage models? 

Also I would love to test this in live but that would be breaking some pretty big game rules.

I also think there is a difference between the campaign server and the test server....

Test server has it's own version, live and training are running the current public version. There should be no difference in how things work other than spawn rules. 

I am sure CRS can confirm this.

Honestly I did not try front I know you can kill the gun frontal easily, you can even do that from the side of the turret with a heat charge.

The training (what most people call test), and live server run the same versions.  There may be brief periods of difference around patch time as we leave the training server up on the 'current' version, while the new is applied to live.  Then drop the training server and apply the update.

I have never complained about the tiger, I just shoot out the gun and disable it.

*** I have never complained about the tiger, I just shoot out the gun and disable it.

Of course, tiger has glass gun;  never see allied tank guns get disabled.

 

Can count another axis player almost gone.

Sheer stupidity 90% of the map is brit towns.

Every town taken goes brit.

This is one change that was made a very long time ago that I still don't really understand.  Personally, I'd like to see where the map has to be a 50/50 kind of thing between Brit and French flags.  Have said that ever since this change was put in place.

That's cause they don't like the French equipment,  might as well leave the French off next map , what difference does it make .

Well that's the issue Tiger gun goes broke in a heart beat , you don't want to know how many direct hits I scored on a Matilda gun with HEAT, AP and HE rounds just for him to keep shooting at close range too. While one hit from a M10 or S76 or make things worse S75 from well their capability of penetrating the Tiger will take the gun out.

 

Best time to test stuff I was told is during intermission. 

I tried to Satchel a Matilda in live campaign twice at a spot that made it blow up every single time when I tried it on Training server . In live campaign it definitely not blow up like it did in training. Now I don't try that spot anymore. 

But still we would like an answer that Njord88 asked where did that hole go on the right side of the turret as it was there in real life , if that was the maybe the supposed Armor leak.

It works both ways, one hit in a s76 or an m10 and its game over not just the guns taken out but usually the crew are dead.

That is why Allied Tankers work in packs as a team, it is the only way for us to have a chance in tier 2 and 3.

British presence is over represented in this game.  In the pre-USA tiers France should be the dominate allied power. When the US enters the US should be the dominate allied power.  Should always be a 55-60 % bias for the dominate power. The UK should only have a 35-40% share of front line at most.

What might be best is pull all tanks out of garrisons and make 15 or so armoured brigades that can be moved around to spearhead attacks.     The Matilda is not the problem, it is its presence in every British town.  Likewise the Tiger.
