Beating a dead horse (or tank)


Recommended Posts

Tanks in CMBB have no mercy. After knocking out another tank, they'll keep plowing shells into it, knocking it out over and over again (at least according to the detailed damage). Of course, this sort of obsessive-compulsive behavior can be dangerous if someone is sneaking up behind you.

By the way, I *love* the new, grittier, sort of pixellated look to the game. Looks a LOT less like a toy, although the graphics take quite a bit longer to load.

Apparently you've missed some of the talk about CMBB in the past. What you're seeing in this case is called the 'Death Clock'. The TacAI keeps shooting at an AFV until it can confirm a kill (usually seeing the crew bail, a catastophic explosion or some obvious damage). It designed to heighten the realism since in CMBO as soon as the vehicle was dead you knew it, which just wasn't the case in real life.

Ever wonder why some tanks had multiple penetrations during the war ?
