Bahger Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 They are a PITA in DCS A-10C too. They range to about 20,000ft. You can take them down by flying NOE and using Maverick from max range but in CMBS I suppose it's a matter of spotting them and killing them with arty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCE_Spr Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I agree the Tunguska is a beast. Although I don't think they are as tough as they appear, what you ask! I was playing one of the battles in CMBS and one my Machine gun teams (7.62mm) came across a Tunguska. In their panic they opened fire on the beast, now it might have been do to they had height advantage but, I noticed multipule penetration text on the Tunguska, after 20 sec or so the Tunguska crew bailed and showed as destroyed! Maybe it was their lucky day. Which reminds me of a story. When I was in high school our principle, who served with the 82 Airborne as a .50cal weapon dedt during WW II use to talk to the school on Rememberance Day about some of his experiences one story comes to mind. During the Battle of the Bulge, he said, they would fool the German tankers by firing a single .50cal round at German tanks. Apperantly the alliese would sometimes shoot a single round form the .50cal to calculate the range to the target, the Germans learned this and and knew something bigger was seconds away, on more than one occasion his .50cal weapons dedt would fire one round, and the German tanks would back off. He also mentioned this always didn't work and would attrack a unfriendly response. I assume the flight charactoristics of a 12.7mm round was simular that of the main 75mm round, the range of which the balistic simularities were, I have no idea. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't expect the air-force to work that hard.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silent one Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Slacktime. I guess thats why ranging machine guns became the norm on tanks until the invention of the lazer rangefinder. Id forgotten about his untill you reminded me . A lot of folks have forgotten about the post war pre lazer days http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spotting_rifle 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
db_zero Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 I still believe the US Army or Marine Corps should modify M1's and mount the GAU30 on it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
