Lolz, while were on the topic of tanks and thier guns in this game, let me ask this one thing.......why do your shots sometimes go through the tank like its a ghost or something? I am messing around in the editor w/ Fireflies vs Panthers. Ive given the Fireflies my modded 76mm Mk5 and it has like 185mm penetration max. I roll up beside this panther, kissing it with my tank barrel, fire and my round hits the ground on the other side of the tank with no effect. Same thing happened twice in the same editor battle. Then the same thing has happened over and over and over and over.....I cant put enough overs in there.....but yeah. I fire at a tank and my round hits the ground right behind the tank, or the ground underneath it while going through the thing entirely while missing it. That is prolly the #2 most annoying thing to me in this game. #1 is definitly gun vs armor penetration. my Mk5 has 185mm penetration, I was shooting the Panthers w/ like 120-145ish penetration with a green circle and the Panther side armor is I think 45, 52 at best, yet it takes me 2,3..4......5? shots to kill it seriously....like what the ........#3 Is why do tanks disappear even though your staring it right in the face? ive again and again gotten into tank matches, both in the editor and mainly online where both tanks are just shooting each other, not moving yet after every shot the tank will just disappear.....I understand the fog of war...atleast to some extent but seriously? Cloaking Devices and Transparent tank hulls? Just no, this is a WWII RTS, not some World of Warcraft or Everquest magic show......
Onto another topic that has nothing to do w/ tanks but with stealth....what does it do for infantry? Or does it just not work in the editor? Ive made a group of Canadian Marine troops and I gave them the perk "stealth". So, last night I was testing it to see what it did, in the editor, and i was crawling my Marines into bushes, walking up on them, then taking regular guys and walking up on them and both troops were seen at the same ranges. Also, used the same soldiers and tried crawling across a road to see if maybe stealth lowered the detection radius of men...conclusion...nope....Of course ive seen the Scouts in MP and they have Stealth...they are invisible for all practical purposes. I guess the effect doesnt work in the editor just as the Binoculars dont?
