I know this is rather an old topic but how is this fair or I am doing something wrong? I just had a game where Jumbo was slowly passing right next to me (I was on foot) and did not notice me. I took an explosion pack, cooked it, and threw it right at the top, it was a hull I think. The explosion did nothing, literally, the jumbo kept going like nothing happened. I took control of one of my other soldiers and threw another explosion pack right at the top of the jumbos turret. The explosion destroyed his engine that is all, meanwhile when someone throws an explosion pack at my panzer 4 H or at any other Axis tank in the Normandy campaign they burn like a match head, instantly.
Can anybody please tell me what did I do wrong? Like I said both packs went on the top, one on the hull
and the other on the turret, both exploded while being on the tank.
I do not mean to be salty or rude but this is getting really exhausting this whole controversy around Jumbo in Normandy and it is pissing me off.

Explosive pack against heavy tank need be placed under the tank or in contact with side tracks

if you want to take out jumbos with explosion packs 100% of the time, you need to throw it on the engine, I recommend getting on top and suiciding, a single troop loss, but you end up killing whole tank
Rng turret can absorb the damage
same thing happens with the panther or tiger, throw it on tacks or right on top of the turret.
Correct. Use the underhand throw with the correct distance as shown by the grenade path indicator. I don’t know why people are still asking about this.
Just drop a 1000lb bomb on it.
An explosive pack to the side of the tracks kills any tank (except for KV-1). If it’s a jumbo, don’t bother throwing it at the turret or engine deck as it can easily roll off and you may even expose yourself to the enemy. Just lay low and throw it at the side of the tracks.
How about waiting 20 mins to get kicked because the serves are out to lunch? I thought rubber banding died in 2005. Nope…alive and well here. But only paid servers so eat it.
In other news…remind me again why the 50kg bomb is 10X worse than the 5kg EP. Height? There’s a reason why people that fail at math are unsuccessful at making math based games. I won’t say why.
