leafer Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 After 30 some hours into this sim I've finally, FINALLY!, made my first "battle tank" kill. LOL Wow! Hours and hours of frustration and I thought I suck. :D I don't know how the damage is modeled for land vehicles but I must have hit it right on the sweet spot because I gave it a one second burst and it caught on fire. The sad thing is that is this what it takes to make a grown man happy? :D 1 ED have been taking my money since 1995. :P

Crosser Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 just wait until you start dropping 5-6 GBU-38's each on seperate targets. Right now I'd say the GBU-38 is my fav weapon to use.
leafer Posted February 13, 2011 Author Posted February 13, 2011 Multiple targets in one pass fun with the GBUs is next on my to-do list. I am liking the GAU-8 too much right now. Such satisfaction strafing a column of light armored vehicles. ED have been taking my money since 1995. :P

leafer Posted February 13, 2011 Author Posted February 13, 2011 Not married, yet. My gf is all right with me taking a few hours a day to get away from reality. I don't play every day partly because she and my 5-year-old take turn hogging the puter. On top of that I am working on a project and ya'll be the first to see it when it's ready. Two weeks... :D ED have been taking my money since 1995. :P
Mugenjin Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 My first tank kill was me crashing into the tank :D
leafer Posted February 13, 2011 Author Posted February 13, 2011 You too? :D ED have been taking my money since 1995. :P

StageFright Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 I did, I was thinking great....on valentines day of all days. Now I'm gonna have to give my wife sweet lovin's while fantasizing about dropping CBU's without the game crashing or firing the GAU-8 without turning the sim into a slide show.....well I probably will anyways....but still....

Jinja Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 lol, yeah StageFright, it's probably wise that it wasn't released for just that reason!
