It is either a random event or an actual bug. If you leave it on free fire then the shells randomly hit vehicles at the other part of the map. (rails and road)


WTF

I think many guns are capable of randomly hitting stuff beyond their actual target. There was a video once with a random pak shot killing an ambulance on the other part of semoisky or sth.

You need to understand that what you call a "range of a gun" is in fact a maximal distance of aiming, not maximal range of its shells. So if you aim at something and you miss, the shell can land in any random spot in the cone that is created by a weapon and target silhouette. It can be far, far away from initial target, and thus targeting range.

To be honest I reckon that shells need to not do any damage past a certain point, its too much RNG luck when you snipe a unit you should not have with a shell

I just got my sherman back into my base and focused somewhere else while the crew was repairing, when I came back and tried to order the crew to enter the vehicle again just realized it was burning.



State of the art programming.

I remember on a map of Langreskya (Sorry for terrible spelling) a stray Panzershreck rocket was supposed to go after a Sherman as the rocket flew across the entire map and destroyed the USF player's ambulance.

Projectiles have legit trajectories in this game so it can happen with extreme RNG and elevations permitting. Ive seen it twice on langreskeya with the south base gettig sniped from the north, one being a .org trending video

More funny than annoying IMO. I may be mistaken, but isn't the penetration really low at that point?

Its a trick i use when the enemy tank has just gone out of range in the fog of war. I tell my pak gun to fire at max distance and SOMETIMES he over shoots his target and the projectile hits the enemy vehicle outside the arc of fire.

Nah, penetration drop off ends at the vehicles "max range", so if a tank with 100 penetration at max range shoots and misses, and the shell goes to the other side of the map and hits something, it still has 100 penetration.

Willy Pete: @Rosbone Ahh I missed that memo. I still think its a bad decision though. Adds frustration for players and isnt gonna make them that much money
27 Mar 2025, 15:46 PM
Rosbone: It is also good they left it free until after the free to play weekend. Points for that.
27 Mar 2025, 09:34 AM
Rosbone: But I agree, the cost to get a full decent Coh game pushing $115 US is not the best idea. Especially when it needs so much more work for casuals.
27 Mar 2025, 09:32 AM
Rosbone: To be fair, it was a thank you to early fans right? They said it was not free for long and it would become a pay DLC at some point.
27 Mar 2025, 09:30 AM
Willy Pete: Re-releasing free DLC so they can charge new players money for it. Brilliant marketing strategy :clap:

Nickbn: @Rosbone it's incredibly rude to speak on someone elses behalf, especially when a question is directly adressed to them. I understand your passion for the subject at hand but I want to hear from him.
20 Mar 2025, 10:16 AM
Rosbone: @Nickbn No, I am just saying people should not be using any Relic owned forum since they have proven they ban anyone who says true things about Coh3.

Nickbn: @Rosbone do you speak on his behalf? I didn't know. In that case keep us updated please.
