Tank One shot spot: Finally confirmed

Re: Tank One shot spot: Finally confirmed

After one shot two guys (one guy named electricsun, the map was Oman, it was just started, with both of us racing against each other).

I shot him ON THE SPOT, and then a very cool effect happened: you can see the turret explode a fraction of second before the whole tank explode (which is realistic, because in real life ammo would be ignited first).

Because this technique alter the balance of tank combat so much, I am not telling the spot.

Ok I don't know why everyone else is still reading into this and believing this guy -- just read the above quote and if you know ANYTHING about BF2 mechanics then you will realize he is lying.

First off, parts of vehicles DO NOT EXPLODE. Either the vehicle remains 100% functional or is destroyed. The game treats these as solid objects so there's no way to modify them. Even if it's a microsecond before, its not possible with BF2 mechanics. Otherwise, you should be able to blow off machine guns and turrets with controlled fire. I wouldn't be surprised if this guy was MyG0T and was trying to rage the forums with this absolute garbage.

T90 is better than M1A2 in reality, I wouldn't call it a POS.

The M1A2 beats the T90 in the ground,ive watch a show on the military channel talking about all the different kinds of tank and the M1A2 was the most powerful the its competition,the T series tank aka T90 etc etc came between 5th and 10th place cant really remember

Re: Tank One shot spot: Finally confirmed

I know this isn't strictly relevant but when I was playing a few nights ago a top a building in a deserted down, I was being stalked by a tank (I have no idea why he didn't have bigger fish to fry then a sniper) but anyway I was a top a building, watching him pull up just below me so naturally I threw a hand grenade through the top hatch, hoping it might actually do something, but nada, it just dented his ego and he started shooting like mad eventually clipping the wall killing me with splash damage the lucky bugger.

I'm extremely sceptical about this one shot kill thing, I thought I stood a better chance with a grenade down the hatch, but no.

I'll believe it when I see it, oh and lastly the creator of this post? WTF are you smoking and can I have some?

Once time, I was a spec op on top the building of "Strike of...." and saw the tank below trying to capture the flag. I used up all my C4; so, in desperate situation, I decided to throw some grenades. I was surprised that I killed it. Actually, what happened is one of my grenade land into the hatch. In result, I got one kill. "GreenMonk18 [grenade] xxx"
That was so hilarious. I was lol.

Re: Tank One shot spot: Finally confirmed

In BF1942 all the tanks had weakspots. Intended or not. I doubt that the T34 was suppose to blow after a single shot to the hatch from the front. I've played clan matches on Dalian where I've seen the chinese tank fire a projectile and seen it hit me and then BOOM. My clan friends have experienced the same. It is very rare but it has sometimes happened at the worst possible moment.

In comparison to BF1942 BF2 has improved on these issues but the old bugs still creep up sometimes like ppl finding themself inside the walls of a solid building.

Re: Tank One shot spot: Finally confirmed

Obviously this guy has nothing better to do than feel important. Or try to. You mentioned earlier that the PKM, etc are more accurate than the SAW-M249.... And? What does that have to do with you being an attention whore? You wanna challenge someone in a tank on tank duel? Hell, I challenge you to an MG duel and I'll take the M249. And I don't mean in game, I mean in real life. I qualified expert at the range with an M249, only missing 5 out of 40 targets ranging from 50M to 300M. Damn, maybe I should make a post challenging everyone to a duel too so I feel good about myself. LOL Dude go get a girlfriend or a good porno for the weekend.

Re: Tank One shot spot: Finally confirmed

ever wonder why M1A2 would never compete with T90 in a trade show?

For all of those non-believers, don't believe it, until you see me in a server.

Well, you shouldn't post this thread if you want to keep it secret. One of the main purpose of this forum is to find solution of everything related to BF2.

Re: Tank One shot spot: Finally confirmed

One guy posted a screenshot in whish he clearly killed another guy with a smoke grenade. The smoke grenade has ZERO damage. It does not kill. Can he do that again? NO! it just happened that the guy died for some other reason at the moment the smoke grenade touched him.

Not true, if you hit someone directly with a grenade/smoke grenade, it kills them (before the grenade explodes).

Re: Tank One shot spot: Finally confirmed

I think the way one shot kills worked in BF:V was a round that hit in a certain area would effect the tank as both a direct hit and add splash damage to nearby hit boxes. I could be wrong and that dosent neccessarily mean that is what is going on here. Its just a thought.

let me guess... show was made by americans? hahahahaha

on topic.
as i said a tank can be killed with 1 shot but its a random bug, its like killing someone by hitting them witha ammo pack or medic pack, or more often with grenade before it explodes just from the impact.

im not sure if u can kill others with ammo pack or medic pack, which i seriously doubt. but im pretty sure u can kill someone with a smoke grenade or a regular grenade by throwing the nade right at them. i've done it a couple of times, although i didnt intend to do it but it's obviously not a random bug. u can even kill someone by jumping on them from a relatively high altitude.

Re: Tank One shot spot: Finally confirmed

Hey guys, I found a one-shot kill spot on the Essex. It plays this cool Ride of the Valkyries music and then the comm tower explodes and bodies fly everywhere and then it sinks.

It doesn't work in single player.

Re: Tank One shot spot: Finally confirmed

I got taken out with full health in one shot from another tank that fired through smoke to hit me last night. When asked how he did it, his response was "I hit the sweet spot". I popped smoke in the tunnel in Kubra and the guy fired through it from outside the tunnel on the other side and hit me in a magical spot? I think not. He was banned.

I have almost 100 hours in a tank and cannot think of one time where I took on another tank with full health and killed him in one shot. I even sat on our clan server (ranked, public) with another member of my clan and we went at each other over and over in tanks to find this magical one shot zone. We decided after an hour of trying, that this supposed shot does not exist. If anything, it's a fluke in the game and cannot be linked to an actual sweet spot in the tanks.

Secondly, just to speak to this point, you can have a damaged tank right from the start of a map. This occurs on almost every map when your driving and your tanks takes damage from the terrain and the bumps. No one has shot at you once, but your tank has taken damage and you are not at 100% healh. Just FYI on that one.

Re: Tank One shot spot: Finally confirmed

A) Because the customers that can afford an Abrams don't want the 90?
B) Because the 90 isn't available, kinda like all the paper releases ATI and NVIDIA had going for a while?
C) No.
D) And this happened when?

Which one is it?

Re: Tank One shot spot: Finally confirmed

I find it funny how much damage does the tank get from just driving around. I once got my (full health) tank exploded by driving on a small stone at Zatar Wetlands.
