-BENDER- Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 Hello, i have a Question. And sorry, my English is not the Best. :music_whistling: When i Attack the Tanks, in 2km. Behind a Hill, in Hover Mode(Up and Down). Why enganged the Tanks me not with 120mm? Only, when i come closer to Tanks they shot only with MG. :( :joystick::pilotfly::thumbup:
EinsteinEP Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 When i Attack the Tanks, in 2km. Behind a Hill, in Hover Mode(Up and Down). Why enganged the Tanks me not with 120mm? Only, when i come closer to Tanks they shot only with MG. :(I have been shot down by a tank's main gun, so it *can* happen in the game. Can you post the name of the mission file where you are experiencing this? Shoot to Kill. Play to Have Fun.
ZaltysZ Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 I think the limit of engagement with main gun is 1500m, however I have met some sniper tanks too. Also, your altitude is very important: tanks can elevate their main guns only up to 20 degrees, so if you are high and close, they can only use their MGs. Wir sehen uns in Walhalla.

Behind a Hill, in Hover Mode(Up and Down). Why enganged the Tanks me not with 120mm? Only, when i come closer to Tanks they shot only with MG. :( When I first started flying I hovered anywhere from 2-3km and I was hit - SEVERAL times from tanks main gun. When you get hit - the games says you "crashed." The tank shell blows you up completely. At first it seems like there is a lag, a two second pause then .... gone ... lol i7-12700k, 32GB Ram, RTX 3060 12GB, TrackIR 5, Lots of SSD Space, etc etc DCS World - All the cool modules

Slayer Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 I learned to fear those main guns early on. It took me a while to figure out that I was being shot down by tanks because my helicopter would just explode for no aparent reason. Then several times as Im lining up with the shkval I see the main gun rotate and point straight at me, a puff of smoke and I'm vaporized. They definately engage you.

JDski Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 I wish they wouldn't always seem to hit me right between the eyes. How about some screaming time in the pit as I fall to the ground?
Frakin Toasters Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 Man tanks are buggers for me. In the past i've been shot down loads by tank cannons. I hate it, it always makes me jump. One minute i'm flying along nowhere near a tank, minding my own business. Then Blam!

Behind a Hill, in Hover Mode(Up and Down). Why enganged the Tanks me not with 120mm? Only, when i come closer to Tanks they shot only with MG. :( Believe me, they DO engage you with the main gun. But it takes some time to aim. As you said, you where hovering behind a hill, and poping up for a shoot, they have not had enough time to engage you with 120mm.
-BENDER- Posted March 26, 2009 Author Posted March 26, 2009 (edited) Ok thanks, i tested Today in Morning. And it Works, when Tank in Expert. They will be Shot at me, early as in Rookie Mod. Thanks a lot.... :) Ok, i found a nother Problem. The Leo2 Tank has that..but in Battel the Doors, will not be Moved. Edited March 26, 2009 by -=BENDER=- :joystick::pilotfly::thumbup:
EtherealN Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 Also Morbidly spectacular to witness your M8 get obliterated just a coupla-hundred metres off your Nose :cry: So true. For me that also usually happens some 30 seconds after they've acknowledged a recon order I gave them, so I tend to feel a bit guilty. :P But hey, the wingmen are just a bunch of kill-stealing bastards anyway... >.> [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Daniel "EtherealN" Agorander | Даниэль "эфирныйн" Агорандер Intel i7 2600K @ 4.4GHz, ASUS Sabertooth P67, 8GB Corsair Vengeance @ 1600MHz, ASUS GTX 560Ti DirectCU II 1GB, Samsung 830series 512GB SSD, Corsair AX850w, two BENQ screens and TM HOTAS Warthog DCS: A-10C Warthog FAQ | DCS: P-51D FAQ | Remember to read the Forum Rules | | | Life of a Game Tester
