There's a lot more involved than just the diameter of the round.

Regarding what happened in game, either you weren't hitting it in the weaker areas or there were some hit detection problems. I've shot a tank upwards of ten times on Kashan before it blew up. It wasn't even moving and I know all the rounds impacted the tracks.

Abrams has a few spots which cause you do to die instantly. Most of really easy to hit.

You could have even been hit before without knowing it. That always gets me which is why I dont tank. Youd think getting hit would be a bigger deal, but Ill take a round and we'll be like "were we hit?" "Ummm idk, y?" "idk, i thought maybe we were...hmmm" BOOOM!!!!!

Im sure some dev posted a while back about ATGM for all opfor tanks and new mec tank .

Whats going on with this idea? ;>

I do sometimes think it should make it more obvious when the armoured vehicle you're in has been hit...

To the OP, yeah BF2 hit registration sucks sometimes - I have experience of pummeling US tanks with APFSDS rounds for a good minute or so to the front armour with no effect

Ah well...

Some days you are the truck, others the hedgehog.

Also, I thought the T-72 was a mirror (IE same properties - gun damage, armour, speed etc.) of the Abrams until the DEVs could get some assymetric balance between then sorted?

I know I saw some new M1A1/A2 models around the forums somewhere, perhaps they'll fix this problem? Or at least make it slightly less bad.

Wh33lman · 01-07-2010, 08:33 PM

i thought the T-72 was still just a miror the the M1A1 thats ingame. but yeah, the T-72 usually takes 3 hits to bring down.

You most likely were attacking a BMP instead of a T-72.... they might have used the equivilant of this:

It would be great to see asymmetric balancing of armor.

You'd think it would be fixed for such a mothern tank. :S
btw
Is there any picture of damage zones for the PR tanks laying around somewhere?

There definately was one of the Challenger circa 0.7 floating around, but I can't find it for the life of me. If memory serves it had a lot of small and random damage points in places I didn't expect.
