Mainstay Posted August 13, 2021 Posted August 13, 2021 (edited) I landed after going empty at a nearby friendly airport. Refueled, rearmed and went straight back out to kill a remaining Leopard tank near a small helo airfield. Borat spots the tank and locks him. Fired one 9M114 and get the message the Leopard is hit but not dead yet. Went around to make a new pass and Borat still sees the tank but refuses to fire. I also dont get a tone. Weapons off, selected something different and switched back to ATGM 9M114 and run in again. Petro sees the tank locks him up and again refuses to fire. After that i decided enough of this and lets send them some metal in the form of 30MM. Several hits from multiple burst and not even a single % of damage. Just shrugs it off like its nothing. WTH is going one here? Trackfile included the action is at the last part of the track file https://filebin.net/tffg1cnwcwr3tvzs Edited August 13, 2021 by Mainstay
AeriaGloria Posted August 15, 2021 Posted August 15, 2021 I don’t think any of the tanks are able to be damaged by 30mm, no matter what fires it Black Shark Den Squadron Member: We are open to new recruits, click here to check us out or apply to join! https://blacksharkden.com

Has to be close range with high rate of fire and top rear from directly behind it though, side and front will do nothing

Mainstay Posted August 15, 2021 Author Posted August 15, 2021 Yes, everything was setup correctly. Anyways Borat seems to have some issues when it comes to doing his job.

It has longer 30mm rounds then Hind, and with combat mix and depleted uranium I bet they would more damage even if they were the same length, I bet it does considerably more damage per round and is able to cross that boundary in th damage model. It also has a higher muzzle velocity then the Hind. Four aspects, length, weight, muzzle velocity and rate of fire give it an advantage I bet that tip the scales just enough. I shouldn’t have said “every 30mm” haha Black Shark Den Squadron Member: We are open to new recruits, click here to check us out or apply to join! https://blacksharkden.com

Anyways Borat seems to have some issues when it comes to doing his job. Or you had issues in piloting and botched gyros in ATGM aimsight which can lead to sight being in offset far from centerline. Usually any dramatic maneuver while observe is on with rate around 10 degrees per second in any plane (pitch roll etc.) can botch sight gyro. Usually Petrovich trying to switch off OBSERVE automatically but still if maneuver is too quick he can;t predict it. AKA LazzySeal
