joeski Posted October 30, 2000 Share Posted October 30, 2000 Playing PBEM game and I met a Tiger with my Churchill croc. They were close range 200m both front shots and they exchanged six ricochets between the two of them. I got nervous and backed out of it as did my opponent. When I did target it the next turn before I reversed outta there it said "chance to hit 97% Kill = none" So does that mean no chance in knocking it out? or no chance for gun damage or what? ------------------ "If you're in a war, instead of throwing a hand grenade at the enemy, throw one of those small pumpkins. Maybe it'll make everyone think how stupid war is, and while they are thinking, you can throw a real grenade at them." - Jack Handey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L.Tankersley Posted October 30, 2000 Share Posted October 30, 2000 Don't you love the front armor on the Churchill? I'm pretty sure Kill = None means you have essentially no chance of penetrating the armor facing you. I think this does not take into account the possibility of hitting a "weak spot" and getting a kill that way. You could also get gun damage, and probably also some of that nasty internal armor flaking, but no out-and-out kill. ------------------ Leland J.

joeski Posted October 30, 2000 Author Share Posted October 30, 2000 Maxx: Thanks I stole from a sigs thread couple of weeks ago. L.Tankersley: Yeah the Churchill rocks. But when I seen Kill none I'm out of there. My opponent backed off also. Which make me think I should have rushed him and tossed him some fire. "better to fight and run away, and live to fight another turn" something like that. ------------------ "If you're in a war, instead of throwing a hand grenade at the enemy, throw one of those small pumpkins.

Olle Petersson Posted October 31, 2000 Share Posted October 31, 2000 Hmm... Churchill flamethrower vs. Tiger at close range. A stationary Tiger would be dead meat... Cheers Olle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Big Time Software Posted November 1, 2000 Share Posted November 1, 2000 Think of "Kill = None" as a suggestion rather than a hard and fast rule. It is suggesting to you that you are screwed, but there still is a chance of doing some damage. For example... You could fire, hit the vehicle, and damage the gun or kill a crew member from internal armor flaking. You could fire just as the vehicle decided to turn and thus land a round in its flank. You could fire just as the vehicle started to drive down hill, thus allowing for a better shot against sloped armor (obviously this is NOT relevant for the Churchill ) But in general, this does mean you should try and figure out some other way to kill the vehicle in question. The odds of a lucky shot are just not that great. And if your tank can't survive the other guy's weapon at that range, the risk of attempting to get a lucky shot is that much worse.
