well, looks like tankgewehr ammo
to succesfully penetrate 50 mm of thick skin on the front
its better to flank elephant
or use anti elephant mine
(shooting up gearbox wont help in this case)
if it camps in grey zone use stuka 500 kg bomb
why not make it possible to blow enemy soldier heads off with a shotgun when at point-blank range? it would add to the violence realism, im not joking about my thought, it would make using a shotgun a bit more fun.
ye i have shoot that round sometimes since i own a ww2drilling.
it demolish my elbow everytime, and did destroy a tree with it but, fun . lots lots of fun. there is a nice hole on a concrete wall around my yard that can fit my hand made with that round.
Scares the shit out of me everytime lol , and gets expensive fast lol
shotguns should “reliably” one hit kill at up to 20 meters distance, and they would still be much less useful than all the full auto meta that we are having right now
There was once a time that shotguns were usable at realistic ranges in this game, but then they got nerfed put of nowhere with the introduction of the Berlin campaign.
It was bad and no one asked for it, nor did anyone wanted such thing. But apparently bots killed more with shotguns than bolt action rifles, so shotguns got nerfed to the point they were worst than the worst bolt action rifles at every range.
Then they got a mild buff, but that buff wasn’t even a quarter of the nerf they got for no reason.
For short barrel shotguns (the ones with the least range) you should expect something of 35-40 meters of effective range, with long barrels the effective range increases quite a lot, and they remain deadly for about 90+ meters with a lesser chance if hitting the target due to spread.
That is with 00 buckshot, which is what was used for military purposes. Of course ammo does changes the results.
For example you can get greater ranges with slugs. Or worst ranges with birdshot.
