A personal challenge to you AT experts

[imported_TheDragon]

I am tired of hearing from you experts who claim,
against 99% of the Posters here, that you can readily get 1 shot AT kills on a tank
so. here is my challenge -
PM me for our ranked server IP
and make an appointment
and meet me there
I will even park and wait for you to show me your skill
this is a simple test
I am not bragging or being a wise guy
I REALY want to know
(so does everyone - I imagine)
then I will either say - I told you so
or offer my humblest apology and new found respect

cheaters/hackers - need not apply

Re: A personal challenge to you AT experts

dunno about AT but if a tank shell can kill another tank (proven - besides i do it nearly every day in BF2) in one shot then an AT missile should be able to do so as well

Re: A personal challenge to you AT experts

Well, newbie here so i havent claimed to be able to do this. But i can safely tell you it CAN be done, i have seen it been done on a full health tank. I never even attempt it and usually just go for a 2 shot Track kill but it is possilbe to destroy a tank in one shot.

Saying that, anyone who can do it regularly in a combat situation deserves all the praise in the world. Hitting a spot thats the same size as the rocket itself is easy on a still tank about 10/20 metrers away, but you try doing that in battle from 30/40 and its nigh on impossible

I've been here a while, post almost everyday, and yet I have no idea about what you're talking about.

There are threads that show you how to destroy a tank with one shot (with another tank though) that a lot of us can manage to pull of if we try for ages in a LAN but is almost impossible to recreate on a ranked/unranked server. (at least for me and I never know if the tank was damanaged first).

Where are all these threads where AT guys claim to kill tanks in 1 shot?

Re: A personal challenge to you AT experts

oh - I have seen it done
and have had it happen to me too many times
from both Tanks and AT
my point is I think they are cheating
and honestly want to be PROVEN wrong
there is NOTHING anyone can say in this or any other FORUM
that will convince otherwise, until we do a real TEST in game
not being arrogant
just trying to helpful to the community as well
there are SO many charts in this game
created by very clever and helpful people that describe weapons: strength, deviation, etc
and targets hit points
do the math
AT vs full Armor does not add up
and all this talk about mythical sweet spot
on a moving vehicle?
being shot by an AT that is "hopping and ducking"
(duh - therefore NO LONGER guiding the AT)
and he still hits some spot that is so small
hundreds of players have spent hours in private servers looking for it from a Tank - and you expect me to believe it can be done from an AT round ??

again - someome please prove me wrong
until then . . .

TopGunGreg....

I ask you agin, show me the threads where people claim to be able to do this with an AT round....


You can think all you want. It's normal to think it's impossible in fact. But this is old news and I think that a lot of members of this forum have come to believe it. It is possible with a tank to kill another tank with one round.

why are you posting like that - this isnt poetry :|:
there is no sweet spot on the tank - its all about getting the projectile to register multiple hits by using the angles to bounce the shell
i have NEVER seen a single post claiming a one shot kill for AT - 2 to the tracks is a kill
but trust me the single shot kill by a tank on an another tank and on an APC(after a short delay) is very real - i do it as often as possible, you have to get in real close because a miss will only do minimal or no damage

Re: A personal challenge to you AT experts

I dont think its possible with the AT round. It can be done with another tank or a TOW. The AT round just doesn't seam to behave the same way as the tank shell,(which you get to richocet to get the one shot kill) it just explodes.
But good luck in your search and be sure to post your results. I must have tried a 1000 times and never got a 1 shot AT kill against a 100% tank.

Re: A personal challenge to you AT experts

Yes but he's not talking about the tank shell, he's talking about the AT rocket.

If I had more time (I'm at work) I'd search for threads to show you, but I know this has been discussed and various people have claimed one shot AT tank kills.

Personally I will believe it if I see it but with well over 100 hours and an Expert award for AT I have never once destroyed a full health tank with one rocket, be it half way across the map or right in front of me, urban (or rather BF2) myth methinks....

Re: A personal challenge to you AT experts

I've been vitcim of this, I must admit I was very much WTF.

I turned the corner, full health and then Boom, he shoots me with a shell and I'm dead.

Heres a handy chart: http://www.secretsofbattlefield.com/tank****s.html
According to this chart, it's possible to cause a lot of damge but not that of a single shell.

It shouldn't be possible but I think it's got something to do with At mines, as in his shell moves your tank, it's hard to explain but I've been a victim of it.

How did you know the tank was on full health?

Re: A personal challenge to you AT experts

I have played 147 hours as Anti-Tank and have only been able to do 2 shot kills to the treads. The reason, as mentioned earlier, that a tank can kill a tank in one, is that the shell bounces, registering double damage. A-T missile shells do not bounce. Supposedly there is a place on the american tank if the gun is pointed straight up, but I dont see that enough to be able to do any kind of testing.

Ey? You mean tank on tank? cause there's proof that that works.

Re: A personal challenge to you AT experts

TopGunGreg: Please tell me how the fsck a cheat could influence server variables if the server isn't compromised? It obviously doesn't happen on a regular basis which makes it smell like a bug. This game is the buggiest I've ever seen which makes it even more likely that it's a bug.

Re: A personal challenge to you AT experts

Tank probably already had damage taken or there could have been two ATs launched at you at the same time.
