Why No Go Boom

[dfire]

Excuse my crap-tastic aim. Been focusing more on playing inf this map. Previous 3 or 4 maps I also played allied, so still need to adjust back to the panzer life lol.

7:00 - ET fires 4 shots whilst flames are spewing from turret after I flamed him. It was really 6, but I started recording after the second time he fired on fire because I was like wth

1:32 - no hit reg

1:41 - no hit reg

0:38 - Probably should've killed or smoked engine at least (I paused for sec because I was confused how that didn't do any visual damage)?

Plz work on the tanks on fire shooting and round disappearing bugs... Those are just a few reasons why many tank players have left.. These are just a few random clips I recorded from only 2 missions.. you can imagine how much occurs when playing over the course of many hours! These aren't necessarily side-specific because I've had same bugs happen on both sides.

132 and 141  look like they were long to me. The impact LOS blocked by the tank.

Man, the tiger needs it's later war optics. 

Trying to spot those green tanks on a green background is crazy hard.  

Now go use the firefly or achilles and you don't even have to switch to commander like you do in your vids.

Agree.. that'd be cool if starting tier3 or 4 it had the correct late war optics. It'd make a huge difference. If your commander dies with these optics it's game over lol

That's a lie unfortunately.

Solid first post

In regards to the et firing while burning, I notice everytime I kill stu with 232 via 10m rear shot, the stu flames but can still use turret for a short time (i dunno about it livin long enough to be able to fire 6 shots but the stu could maybe do 2-3). Maybe similar? Also noticed insane things like this happening when lagging out my 2nd acct on training server. Maybe neither of my points are the case you present though.

main reason why i stopped playing Panzers ...

[lovewing]

example of stu flaming but alive . volume may be loud in vid.

happens every time. figured it was a feature... as in theyre burning alive and not dead yet and calmly using the turret.

Maybe this is different than the flames in your vid, as yours are coming out of turret. Unsure if stu is animated to show turret flames though so thought id add this just in case it helps.

flaming allied tanks with 232 was so much fun

requires patience ... ninja skills ... and a ton of luck !!! sadly we don't have electric engine like pan or dac

That range finder is nice. I don't tank all that much, more of infantry based, which other tanks have a range finder besides the Tiger?

[goreblimey]

Stugs and m10s

There's a bug with the rangefinders that's been going on for awhile. If you put it on a tank, it doesn't estimate the range to the tank, it estimates to whatever is behind it, as if the tank wasn't there. It ends up being quite a bit off. I plan to make a demonstration video during intermission to show and document it. That's why in all my tank videos I usually point the rangefinder at the ground right next to the tank instead. At long distances though and with rigid terrain, what you think of as right next to the tank, could be like 30m off, which can make it hard to one-shot tanks as to not reveal your position. It's more of just an annoying thing though; It should just work as intended instead of having to use a workaround for something that's broken imo.

Good to know. To be honest, I couldn't see some of the tanks you we locating and ranging ... much less with the gunners view. Most I could, but a couple were very hard to see. Some of it could have been attributed to video  quality I suppose ... as YouTube compresses and degrades things a bit.

Yeah they were all clearer on my monitor, YT compresses it a little. The video is also trimmed so some of them I was watching them move to the locations they stopped at. Sometimes I really have to get close to the monitor though. I'm probably gonna need glasses soon lol.

welcome to axis

nearly all allied tanks fit perfectly into landscape with their camo and rendering ...

and now think about spotting them from a plane ...

 

aint that easy like spotting StuGs and Tigers with africa camo

m10 is my favorite to kill, I have so many videos of stu and m10 that it is becoming concerning.

-----

in regards to topic, I have seen FF firing some while burning as well as shown in the OP's video. I may have recorded it, will check, if not I will record next time.

Dot report, and if game manager online they will ask or tell or even despawn the player.
