What's your answer to the fact that you can destroy enemy crew weapons who are garrisoned in buildings?
I dont know if that is true as you provide no video evidence.
I can speculate PTRS might affect ambient world objects which shift and crush models and HMGs.
You have to keep in mind that the video porygon posted was arranged. |
cover being destroyed has no affect on units in that cover.
Thats right, but maybe there was a ghost sandbag there.
What do you think? What caused that damn HMG to "die"?
If you watch the video carefully it looked like HMG and the models got crushed by world. |
Arranged as in an actual in game 2v2 scenario, yes...
You still didn't answer my question as to what you think destroyed the gun + team in an instant.
It was sandbags built by cons, not volk sandbags as I wrote above.
I think that was a bug. New patch produced new bug. Maybe PTRS has nothing to do with it. |
Because the PTRS cons don't always shoot at the gun, and the suppression was affecting their ROF. The PTRS has a fairly long target acquisition time, but once it gets going the DPS it can put out is very good.
The StuG E cannot actually 1 shot AT guns, as it only has 80 damage.
The HMG stands behind volk built cover and we know there are ghosting issues.
The ghost cover got destroyed by PTRS fire and HMG was placed in that ghost cover so HMG and the attached models was removed from the world with that cover gone. |
Care to speculate?
Clearly that scene was arranged. Four cons squads charging HMG and no support ever seen. Thats clearly a set-up scenery. |
It is literally impossible for the PTRS to miss the weapon the weapon team is crewing, it's not nearly as uncommon as you think it is.
The MG34 has a size of 20, which the PTRS will hit 100% of the time. 4 cons can kill it in 3 seconds due to the very high DPS of the PTRS.
But it took em half a minute to destroy that HMG. It was not an instakill like StugE killing AT gun with the first shot, pang and AT gun gone (Did Relic fix that bug?)
Could that be a cover ghosting issue which affected the HMG somehow? |
The T34/76 has almost exactly the same accuracy as the PIV. We don't need to return to the days of the T34 sniping squads.
The Sherman has the best accuracy out of all of the basic mediums, but it deserves it IMO as it has less AoE than the others.
A buff would need to mean it's cost be raised.
I dont say it needs a buff, I say it needs a SLIGHT buff like a little bit of armor increase.
T34/76 is a piece of junk right now, it needs some love. |
Except the MG34 didn't die because it's crew did, it died because the weapon had a critical existence failure.
Its not clear what caused the HMG to "die". Maybe it was a bug which has nothing to do with PTRS. |
However, keep in mind, that a 4 or whatever cons blob without PTRS wont destroy the weapon, they will just steal it.
Good point, stolen HMG is much worse than destroyed HMG. Axis fanboys should love cons PTRS, its saving em trouble.
Irony aside, its really uncommon HMG get destroyed by PTRS, maybe axis fanboys are imagine things becouse I have played 6 games today, spammed cons with PTRS and no axis HMG kills so far. |
This has blown axis players over. Try to adapt and accept that new strategies is part of the game.
Axis fanboys have hard time to adapt becouse they are used to a-moving units and drinking soda with the free hand. Now they have to micro, a-move does not work that well anymore. Cons got a long range combat ability. Its really just a slight long range buff, but its enough for axis fanboys to freak out.
