xIGuNDoCIx Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 (edited) I am really surprised that the ERA on my Brad stopped that shot. I thought for sure he was toast as soon as I saw you come down the road. My boys got lucky to survive a sub 500m MBT shot with no damage! Might be time to re-evaluate my position.

Stagler Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 A brad survived a sub 500m shot from a T-90AM, on its ERA? Did you know what round it fired? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure It was a direct hit to the front but I was in some trees so it may have hit those I will need to re-watch the turn. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xIGuNDoCIx Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 (edited) As I suspected it was a direct hit to the front of the Brad under 500m. Here are some screens and a video. He actually has APS but I don't think that played a part in his survival as the shot clearly hits him. https://youtu.be/tc7uTwETWog Edited March 17, 2015 by xIGuNDoCIx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure It was a direct hit to the front but I was in some trees so it may have hit those I will need to re-watch the turn.I watched the replay a couple of times and the Bradley was backing away after the shot. It's hard to see from all the trees but I think it was indeed branches that were hit and not the IFV itself. More's the pity. One of my few shots at my enemy this game Edited March 17, 2015 by Bud_B 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my few shots at my enemy this game Ya know Bud I just watched the video I posted and noticed that my Brad is backing up through a tree! The moment the tree comes through the front of the Brad turret is practically the same moment your shot lands/hits. Possible Bug or New form of American Tree Armor?

The moment the tree comes through the font of the Brad turret model is practically the same moment your shot lands/hits. So it WAS a tree I hit, you think? I'm confused! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agusto Posted March 17, 2015 Author Share Posted March 17, 2015 (edited) Technically the Bradley was certainly not hit. The LASER WARNING text indicates you have Hit Text turned on, so had the Bradley been hit, there would have been a Hit Text saying :"Hit: Front Turret". I dont know why but from the games perspective the round did not make contact with that Bradley. Ya know Bud I just watched the video I posted and noticed that my Brad is backing up through a tree!

"BARK" - Ballistic Armor Round Killer Judging from the size iof the explosion the T-90 fired a HEAT round and its absolutely plausible that a thick branch could prematurely detonate it, leaving the Bradley crew with dirty underpants but alive.

A Canadian Cat Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Looks very ominous - nice. Tip <shift><ESC> will pause the game without the little pause notice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Canadian Cat Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 (edited) Here is a short clip of an M1 shrugging off turret hits in First Clash. My T90 is 1700m away in one of the tree lines. The M1 knows something is in that direction but never returns fire. The T90 scared him off. Edited March 19, 2015 by IanL 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
