I have noticed in the game that when the grenade is thrown and falls close to the tank, it destroys the traction and sometimes the tank.
But the Explosion pack when it falls near the tank it does nothing, the vehicle goes rolling.
If the explosion pack does not hit the tank it should at least immobilize it, and the grenade should only be used to take enemies out of the Compound.
Honestly I have never seen a grenade to kill a tank. Perhaps if it was thrown on the top of the open top tank it might be possible… but that´s it otherwise.
Explosion pack needs to work more consistently, but you usually just oneshot any tank (even jumbo if you throw in on the top of the tank with good timing)
Normal grenades do almost nothing to a tank. Explosion packs do a lot more (but do not always one shot depending on many factors). Both normal grenades and explosion packs do more if the grenade is directly above or below the tank (these are the parts with the weakest armour I guess). So you always want to try and fit your explosion under the tank if possible.
If you are noticing a trend that normal grenades are doing more to vehicles, chances are you just got lucky and finished it off after it took another explosion or a few.
Well, I have killed atleast one M5 Stuart with Potatosmasher, threw it and tank went boom an I got the kill!
Jumbo get’s rekt by explosives same as any other tank. Any TNT thrown to your side armor is gg.
Not consistently… I´m often having my TNT pack to detonate right next to the bloody thing and it barely scratches the paint or kills 2 crew members. The only “always oneshot” method for me was throwing it either on top or under the tank.
But it is well known fact, that explosions in general are very inconsistent.
I’ve had window-lickers throwing frag grenades at my Russian tanks all the time and never had so much as a track turn yellow.
Wasn’t that tank empty?
Just to elaborate, when a tank is left empty, any kind of “damage” automatically destroys the vehicle to clear space for a new tank. You can shoot a cup holder with an AT rifle and it would still destroy the tank if it’s empty. Other then that I think explosive packs are already menace for the tankers as they are.
