One-shot kills?

[Fairweather]

I'm just wondering how some people can take me out in my APC with one-shot, be it with a tank or that anti-tank thingy. It happens often and I can't work out where they are hitting me but it takes only one shot.

Now, is this possible or am I going to start accusing people of cheating? If it is possible, can anyone tell me how the hell I should aim to take out an APC with one shot?

Another thing: sometimes it takes 8 or 9 shots with the APC to take out an infantry person. How is this possible? I can see the explosions right in his face but he still stands. Could it perhaps be that zombie-bug?

Gratefull for clarification

If the apc gets hit in the ass end with a rocket it will asspload with one hit. The other thing I am not sure of, they might be medic healing themselves lol

I think the weak spot for a tank is its backside and right under the turret in the front. The apcs weak side is it's backside.

Well a tow can destroy an APC from behind in 1 shot, a tank I think.
A TV guided missles from a attack heli can also destroy a tank in 1 shot, 1 mine can also destroy a tank. 2 C4 can destroy at ank, a spec op simply comes to you, places 2 C4, and then just detonates, you are killed instantly. A planes can kill you in 1 hit instantly with a bomb, be it a bomber or fighter. So there is plenty of ways to be destroyed in 1 hit

The tanks weakside is it's turret from above and it's backside, fron't is the strongest on all parts, and side is bedium. APC is the same.

yeah, many places to get hit from and die in 1 shot.....even in a tank/apc..

as far as hitting infantry w/apc gun, unless you see the 'X' on your crosshair, you're not hitting them....they can sprint / bunny hop their butts off to get away from apc fire... I usually end up leading them instead of trying to keep up with the turret, move in front of them a bit, aim a bit higher, and let loose...

apcs can blow when hit in the rear. side i think takes two shots. tanks, best place is the back or top, that's the weak parts in their armor

Yes, I do the same thing. But this one time was special as the guy was standing still and I did get the 'x' several times. The rounds exploded right in his face as well. Very vexing...

As far as APC's go I've hit them directly in the rear with that anti-tank weapon and they have not blown up. I'm assuming one of the passengers was an engineer.

[Grey Fox]

An APC will nt blow up by one at rocket in the rear, it takes 2, and an engineer can't repair it from the inside.

Listen people the way I know this and many others is by simply creating your own game and setting respawn time to 1 sec. and allwoing only 1 player. you just experiment that way, it's the easiest and most realible way to find these things out.

yeah, thats what i did and in all my testing i have not been able to make a tank or apc blow up in 1 shot from an AT rocket, but i have been killed in 1 shot by the AT rocket while in a tank twice. tank was at full health both times.

i have also not been able to make a tank or apc run over a mine without it blowing up. i have placed mines directly between the tracks on both and when i drive over them, boom.

All the vehicles in the game can be destroyed with a single AT missle...you just have to hit the exact right spot...which is incredibly hard to do while the target is moving.

If you look down at a tank, you'll see engine vents in the rear, behind the turrent (from above). Hit these just right, and you'll knock it out in one shot. This is incredibly effective when playing US on the pennisula. Just wait on top of the buildings as the mec tank travels towards the flag, boom, 1 shot kill.

The APC's death spot is "underneath" the vehicle. Fire a missle between the treads, and jerk upwards. If your the right distance away, it'll detonate under the vehicle and destroy it instantly. Takes practicing doing it just right...easier to do if your on a lower elevation then the apc (when its about to go down a hill).

The helicopters are the tail rotor, or the rear/front cockpits. Knock out the pilot and it usually takes too long for people to figure out what happened, and it'll spiral out of control to the ground.

Here's a shot of one of the tank vents. (single shot = fire)

Why does the mec transport suck? This is why.

Remember pilot for the blackhawk sits on the passenger side.

Actualy from my experience the neck of an apc (usmc one anyway) is the most vulnerable point not the back and i have tested this on an empty server for a couple of hours (mainly on tanks though).

Ok For one the usmc tank is dam near industructable except for two points right on the front of the tank if your lucky you can one shot kill it (with another tank) but that shot in real battle is near impossible or a fluke. And as for the MEC tank the one shot kill points are on the neck to the far sides not all the way out to the edge though. But for the MEC tank the same thing can be said again its dam near impossible to hit these spots in real battle .These shots are all for the front of the tank there are variouse other one shot points on the side and back but in real battle there a waste of time . Ive not actually done anything like this on the chinese tanks becouse basicaly there **** tanks and i didnt want to waste my time .

Basicaly if your going up against a tank useing a tank,apc,AT kit,TOW the easiest places to aim for are the tracks a TOW will one shot kill a tank there no problem .The apc, AT kit and tank will take over 50% health if you hit the tracks . Another vunerable spot on a tank is the gunners hatch but its far harder to hit this point i only recommend this shot if your AT and have the high ground. And before i forget a TOW to the low middle front or back will 1 shot kill a tank BUT it dosnt blow up straight away it sets on fire then blows unlike if you shot it the tracks.

So to summerise SHOT a tank in the tracks at all times (its the easiest target to get in real battle) unless you cant then shot it in the gunners hatch . If you cant shot it in the tracks becouse its sideways aim for the top back end of the tank for maximum damage.

And for all the people that try to flame me and say im talking **** try this theres a spot on the usmc tank if you shot it you do 0% damage the tank will even bounce up and down when you shot it but no damge (well in another tank anway) . Get on an empty server drive upto a usmc tank get very close and straight in front of it then shot the glass thing on the top right side of the tank you get 0% damage (ive shot the USMC and MEC tanks in nearly every dam place)

Sry crossbow, and zulukiller, but I just tested it after reading, to make sure. But it's simply not true what your saying. Give me a video, one where you get in the tank and show that it's 100 healthn then shoot it with an at missle, if you kill it in 1 hit I will believe you. But the weakest points remain, the back and the top. Tracks are medium and front is the strongest. There is no way to take out a tank with 1 AT no matter where you hit it. Wynterheart, what happend to you was probably that you drove over a mine the same time you were hit by the AT rocket, or C4'd.

[Crossbow6]

I'll try and setup a battlerecorder video. Thought the image would sufficent. Oh well. It'll be quite some time to do the video though. I have no idea how to set it up, or even convert it.

[C11.Nemisis]

the tow missle is a 1 shot kill for apcs anywhere and a 1 shot for a tank in the ass.

There are one shot kills points on a tank mate but there stupidly hard to hit (and you can only doit in another tank ive never done it with AT) thats why i didnt go into detail about were they are becouse in a real battle youll never hit them unless your unbeleaveably lucky. Will a couple of screen shots do you with the exact places marked of i dunno how to do a video and i dont think i can be arsed.
