Tashtego Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I love this game. The shots were taken at about 200m. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClarkWGriswold Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 That must be one hell of a sniper rifle he's using! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sburke Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 American cars do that. I think that is an early version of the Pinto. The sniper only distracted the truck driver who then rear ended the Pinto causing a catastrophic fire. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigduke6 Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Naw, it's just Clint Eastwood on the rifle. He targeted a wire, dropped that on the battery to create a short, and then hit the gas tank at an angle so it would spray fuel on the terminals, and she went right up. Stupid Axis, picking a fight with the side that had Clint Eastwood and John Wayne. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, yeah, you're right. Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baneman Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 And German vehicles are ridiculously tough - in a current battle, a German truck drove into the firing line of my .50 cal HMG. It took 3 bursts and reversed away, apparently still working ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took 3 bursts and reversed away, apparently still working ! the funny thing is that i experienced a similar event in a pbem but with a american jeep. madmikes halftrack mg (german) fired around ten burst at my US jeep (around 300m range) and the jeep still keeps on driving and no passenger is hurt... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, I still remember that one .. quite infuriating. If I wasn't already mad before, this one would certainly have done the trick. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baneman Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Seems to have been around for a while In a current CMBB battle, a Russian truck has shrugged off the attentions of my tank's MG ( doesn't seem to want to fire HE at it ) for almost 2 turns now. It's funny really, considering how ...permeable... to bullets the houses are in CMBN, but not the soft-skinned vehicles. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YankeeDog Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Seems to have been around for a while In a current CMBB battle, a Russian truck has shrugged off the attentions of my tank's MG ( doesn't seem to want to fire HE at it ) for almost 2 turns now. It's funny really, considering how ...permeable... to bullets the houses are in CMBN, but not the soft-skinned vehicles. Oh, I beg to differ. Soft-skinned vehicles are quite permeable to bullets. Fully load a 6x6 truck with infantry, fire an MG at it and watch how quickly the passengers take casualties. However, it can take quite a few shots to completely knock out a soft-skin vehicle, and this is not surprising to me. There's an awful lot of "empty space" in a 6x6 truck, which bullets will pass right through without causing any real damage to the vehicle. And even perforations to some of the larger engine/drivetrain components wouldn't stop the vehicle right away -- you can put multiple bullet holes in the radiator or oil pan, and the engine will still run for a mile or two. Vehicles blowing up after a few bullet hits is largely a Hollywood thing. IRL, hits from ordinary lead bullets rarely cause a vehicle explosion or even a fire, even if they perforate the fuel tank. Also, in regards to your CMBB experience, it's worth remembering that the Death Clock feature may be at work there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would they be fighting for the Axis or the Allies? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
