fridericus Posted October 29, 2002 Share Posted October 29, 2002 today in a pbem against hulldown: a regular kingtiger was bored to death in a QB and commander decided to advance against us tank-toys. i drove with speed around the forest and suddenly he saw an sherman105. saw it, killed it, but the crew took revenge on kingtiger with killing the commander. but the rest of german crew saw no reason for no advance. they hunted to 2 other shermans, they fled into the range of an other kingtiger and one was lighted. at 10 o`clock of the kingtiger without the commander a stuart was escaping from sight of the kingtiger nad shot at it. his third shot was from a distance of 161m and caused a weakpoint-kill with whole crew was dead there is only one possibility of explaining this: this small 37mm bullet bounced off the Ritterkreuz of the dead commander in hatch, changed direction into the tank and lighted rests of fuel and oil in the hull. are there better ideas? :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvio Manuel Posted October 29, 2002 Share Posted October 29, 2002 How about the 37mm round went right thru the bow MG port, and the ensuing shrapnel caused the MG ammo to cook off, cutting the crew to ribbons, but not quite making the whole tank brew up, as the main gun ammo was miraculously untouched. Works for me. The KT didn't brew up, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
