Re: Weak Points on Vehicles

with jeeps i find that the bottom of the cars or close to that area are very weak, and that a blackhawk can be taken down with 2 TOW missles i just did it tonight

Only the tanks have different damage zones. :)

Im not doubting you DrunkenPirate but i do know for a fact that if you shot a usmc apc in the wheel arch in the middle of the 4 wheels the thing instantly blows up. Although if you shot the main body just above were i said the apc wont blow up and will be left with a couple of bars. Could this be something to do with the splash damage and or the angle of impact ???.

Are you absolutly certain about this?
I´m been killed in an undamaged APC with ONE sraw missile. It hit me in the "belly" as I was going uphill. So it seems like they also has weak points. Can have been a glitch though, it has never happend again.

Re: Weak Points on Vehicles

Thanks guys, that's why I wanted many opinions...I was sure somebody was gonna give faulty info. I did some testing myself and it doesn't seem that APCs have any weak spot whatsoever.

Re: Weak Points on Vehicles

Helos: Tail and main roaters
APCs: Rear and Wheels
Humvee: Wheels and back
Air craft: Who cares? Yer never gonna hit 'em!

thats all wrong

wheels for the BH
undercarriage for APC's
rear engine compartments for tanks
hummer, fav, rib -- anywhere
aircraft -- anywhere

Honeslty the places i described will kill an apc faster and ive not sussed the spot out but you can deffinatly 1 shot kill an apc with a tank (its around the neck turret area(this was pre 1.03 patch though)).

Re: Weak Points on Vehicles

Most of the damage info posted here are pre patch bugs that should not have existed. (e.g. the wheels on the transport choppers)

How i long for the BF:V damage model, you could down a huey with one full AK47 clip to the engine compartment.

Re: Weak Points on Vehicles

The weakest point on the apcs/tanks is the bottom at the front, if a tank hits a berm and the front pops up in the air for a second, you can take it out with one shot by hit the spot underneatht he armor

Re: Weak Points on Vehicles

APC alwyas needs two anti tank rockets to destry it no matter what. it wont make a difference where you hit it.

I hit many helos on the rotor and on the tail and it also realy does not make a difference. you always need three rockets to take it down.

Are you sure that what you said is correct? did you verify it or you are jusy guessing? In real life what you are saying is very logical... however... it does not work in bf2.

if you hit the humvee from the back then you will hit the driver and that is why it works.

Seconding this, only the tanks have weak spots. APCs always take two, helos always take three, the attack helos take two, and the jeeps take like what, 1.2? If you dont believe me, start a singleplayer game and play as AT, and try it out.

ninjaedit: If you hit a BH or any other of the flying trucks on the inside some or all the passengers will die (same goes for the jeeps), or if you hit any of the attack helos right on the windshield the splash damage will sometimes kill the pilots.

If your in an APC fight shoot the wheels and he'll get owned fast :)

^^ I hit a f-35 that was flying (not hovering) against me to bomb my apc..

The nose was a one shot kill...

Re: Weak Points on Vehicles

Tanks: front and back of treads (2 hits)
APCs: aim for the front and back of wheels (1 hit, I did this last night)
Attack Helis: Aim for cockpit, you can kill the gunner or pilot
DPV: aim for front bumper (if infront) or back of raised chair (if in back)

Those are the best spots to hit when using Anti-Tank.

Re: Weak Points on Vehicles

You need to clarify what you mean by 'APC'. In the game only the LAV25, BTR90, and WZ551 are APCs. The Vodnik and Nanjing are considered jeeps like the Humvee even though they might look like APCs. The glass and tires MIGHT be weak spots on both but the bodies are the same all over. No front/side/rear/top differences like tanks.
