Ever when I try to shot a Tank ( Tiger Ace for e.g.) with a direct hit for 180 ammo the 203 don´t react ? How can it be ? Mostly she don´t move or she shots in front of the Tank in the dirt... A DIRT MIXER FOR 180. This need to be fixed ... The Op Ace too.

A DIRT MIXER FOR 180

I suggest to rename the ability to "Dirt Mixer"

The b4 needs an unobstructed firing line to the intended target. There can not be any buildings or hedges in between the gun and the target or it will not work or react to a firing order.

But there was nothing between the Tanks and my 203 :/

Could you upload the replay? Might be helpful to determine whether it's actually a bug or if something else caused the issue.

Please write when you tried to use it.

Agreed, the ability is unresponsive, targets ground and shoots with a big delay. So not a great investment for 180 muni.

203mm could generally use some love. Unless it gets vet 1 it`s rather bad and it is pretty hard and luck-based to get the vet because of the single shell shot (when compared to 152mm that has a lot higher chance to actually hit anything).

The strength of the b4 lies in its fast reload time (it's either the fastest or second fastest after the panzerwerfer, not sure anymore).

The vehicle target ability is a bit iffy.

You need to have an unobstructed line of sight. Most important thing is to move your 203mm to get the tank in the firing arc and then use *Direct hit* ability.
This unit is a bit buggy so respect this procedure :
-1 : "Manual" rotating order
-2 : Make sure the tank is in your line of sight.
-3 : Make sure the targetted tank isn't moving too fast
-4 : Still in firing arc? Let's destroy it!

VET 3 203mm One Shot a Tiger with this ability. In good hands it's really, Really, nice to play with.

Do not use "direct hit" button if your 203mm isn't already aiming in target direction.
Hope i helped you!

I've had this happen in numerous games. With no obstruction, clear line of site, I was unable to direct fire onto the target. I ended up shooting the ground with a precision shot and banking the saved munitions.
