Achim Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Hello, i played the Al Hawl Mission. I saw a lot of T72 tanks heading my direction. I get all my Javelin launcher out of the APC´s and move to the roof tops. Tanks moving in, Javelin fires and hit the tank. No Effekt. 4 Inf. units fire at the same tank, no Effekt. Tank shoot back. I like Javelin to kill buildings, but i am to stupid to kill tanks with it. What should i do (running away isnt an option) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vergeltungswaffe Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Keep shooting. Javelin is deadly, most hits will be kills. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roter Stern Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 I'm still waiting for the spoiler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Achim Posted August 1, 2007 Author Share Posted August 1, 2007 I think a spoiler is a surprising moment in a mission. The tanks were the surprise 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackmuzzle Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 4 Javs at the same tank and no effect? That's... strange. I've killed T72's in one shot before. May I ask what difficulty setting you used? Maybe I can try to reproduce this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazy Gun Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 I had the same problem in this battle playing on Veteran difficulty. Some tanks were killed with a single shot (as usually happens in other scenarios). However several took 3 or 4 missiles to kill. IIRC the tanks that were hard to kill were usually in the middle of buildings. Maybe the missiles were close but actually missing? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metalbrew Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 On the 3rd battle of the campaign a Syrian AT-3 team blew itself up. I don't know the full details due to fog of war but off in the distance I saw a large explosion and when I got closer I realized it had been an AT team fumbling around in a trench. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Achim Posted August 2, 2007 Author Share Posted August 2, 2007 I played at veteran level, too. Some missles fired at 500 meters and hit the tank. The tank disappeard after the hit(no LOS because of dusk?). I try to get a stryker closer to the combat zone, the tank popped up and killed the striker. I dont know if this help to reproduce the problem, but all Javelin fired from roof tops. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pvt. Ryan Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 I've had no problems with Javelins in this scenario. Some tanks took one, some two. The BMPs all took one. But I do have to say that Javelins are awesome! The idea that a lone soldier can take out a MBT with one shot from over 1,000 yards away is simply amazing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Achim Posted August 2, 2007 Author Share Posted August 2, 2007 @Pvt. Ryan: I dont dispute that the missles doesnt work most the time. I use them often and they hit the target and destroy it. But that tank thing looks strange. Its ok that 4 squads fire at one tank (they dont know that other units fire on it), but they dont kill the damm virtual bastard 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmfrank Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 I am also seeing this strange lack of effectiveness of javelins against the T-72s in the scenario (I am playing on veteran difficulty, WEGO). I am absolutely amazed: I have almost completely depleted my javelin stocks. Overall I think i've only destroyed about half of the T-72s. Some tanks have taken upwards of 4 direct hits in open ground and are still rolling along. Others seemed to have been knocked out by one. Given the top-down nature of the javelin attack, is reactive armor going to even be an issue? I don't recall the TURM-T upgrade having any reactive armor on its roof (though I'm no grog). Either way I was under the impression that even state of the art tanks aren't going to shrug off a javelin hit, let along 3+. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ol_mouse Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 I've seen the same issue. One T72 hit by 5 javelins in a row, no effect. Another T72 hit by 3 in a row, no effect. They don't look like misses. Direct hits, top down. I think I'm going to come back to that scenario after the patch... ol_mouse 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
