Gen-x87H Posted March 30, 2002 Share Posted March 30, 2002 I am playing a game a few nights ago and run across a few jumbos. My panthers lay waste to all but 1. At 138 meters I had two panthers pumping round after round of AP into the thing and all it would do is ricochet. I finally killed it with a close qtr infantry assault. I found it rather interesting myself. Gen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamingknives Posted March 30, 2002 Share Posted March 30, 2002 I'd have thought that one of the rounds would have hit the front turret, which it can penetrate at that range, eventually. Was it at a different elevation, because the change in angle this causes can make a difference sometimes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warmaker Posted March 30, 2002 Share Posted March 30, 2002 Aaah, the Jumbos. They can be a surprise if you're not used to them. While more protected and better armed than the average Sherman or Sherman '76, the Jumbos along with the Fireflies live a truly hazardous life. The moment one shows the tip of its nose in battle I fully ensure every long barrelled gun is pointing it's way! A short glorious life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
