I never said anything about missing. You do realize that HE from 75 mm one hits a puma except to the front of the hull or to the barrel? You shoot its turret, the HE blows up the ammo. You shoot the wheels, the HE blows up the ammo. You shoot the side of the hull, the HE blows up the ammo. Your issue is you’re using the wrong shells against a tank and then complaining that your shells aren’t working

Oops I misunderstood when you said “not one hitting” as missing and not one tapping.
I did use both rounds when trying because of it not working or blowing up the tank. Same thing as in the explosive packs going under a tank multiple times and doing nothing to even the tires. My point was how inconstant and unreliable everything is at taking a tank down. Oh I forgot to add my friend who is very good at piloting has also managed to hit PUMAs and watch missiles literally bounce off the tank including the 100 pound bombs. Yes we have all tried difference angles and variances with all the scenarios mentioned.
Yeah the rockets are definitely messed up for pen values. But I rarely ever don’t one tap a puma with he to the tires, and I’ve never had that happen with the m8
Well, it all depends on the angles and terrain. I would suggest throwing the package ON the tank.
Trust me, it will be much more effective that way.
When it comes to PIAT you have to recognize that it a HEAT based warhead and that is has a very concentrated damage point. Puma has a f-ton of small skirts, wheels, angles and other stuff that can block or weaker the effect. Best I have found is to hit the puma from the side while aiming just in front below the turret. This has a high chance of killing the crew and even detonating the ammo rack.
Yeah. The M8 rockets are strange. I once got nearly killed because they bounced off the Puma… AND FLEW BACK TOWARDS ME.
Thankfully they missed by an inch or two.
Just spam the rockets directly into the turret or roof and hope for the best. That’s all I can tell you.
One thing those M8 rockets that Lightning has atleast real were rather poor against anything hardened like tanks!
Agreed that tanks should be quite the task to destroy, but sometimes its just stupid. I understand you want realism, but too much realism can kill the fun. Last two games we’ve had 2 tanks outside our spawn demolishing us because no one can get close enough to throw an explosive pack. Thats not cool at all. Explosive packs underneath the tank has only a 50/50% chance of doing any damage which is stupid. Luckily the majority of my games haven’t been like that, and i enjoy the game. Situations like that though kill the fun completely.
They took the panzerfaust off the germans and then add the jumbo sherman lol. Give us back the panzerfaust.
Someone on your team should go destroy them with an AT Rifle, plane or another tank then. There are quite a few anti-tank measures already in the game, the biggest problem is when people don’t spot the tank so the AT guys can go kill it.
