I dont think any T1 could do that, but there's a couple T2s that I could see doing that. They'd have to get lucky with you rolling low pen rolls, though.

If it was a T1 though, damn. Bad luck :[

Goddammit don't you hate when on mines you find yourself with only 2 tanks for company going to the hill?

Had my first "bullshit!" moment last night

Here's the scenario: I'm in a tier 1 light tank (might have been the Soviet tank, or maybe the German). I have just bought and equipped an autocannon after some positive experiences with similar guns on other tanks. I'm rolling around just behind enemy lines when I spot an enemy light tank on a ridge below me, facing out towards an open plain and leaving its rear armor vulnerable. I roll down towards it, come to a stop just meters away, it hasn't noticed me yet. I proceed to unload 9 rounds into it...only for it to emerge with 100% health. 9 rounds. Point-blank range. No damage. And I know I heard my crew shouting things like "Direct hit!".

It hits me once while I'm reloading, I manage to get off another three rounds (which actually cause a little bit of damage) before its second shot explodes me.

Considering how I've used similar autocannons to snipe enemy tanks and even engage in a one-on-one duel and emerge unscathed, I have to wonder: WHY?

I could really see this story if it was a H35(Also known as the Hotchkiss), but you are reporting a tier 1 fight?

 You'll want to avoid fighting hotchkisses and other french lights tier 2 and up until 4 with autocannons, it's a recipe for frustration.

[tryrar]

Well, technically pure tier 1 fights are pretty rare, you'd usually have at least 1 tier 2 in a lowest tier game

[TheBronzePickle]

Pure T1 fights are more common than you think. While I was playing T1, more than half of my fights were T1 only.

Just pissed off some guy pretty badly. He went for desperation shots with gold rounds after he started losing, but I still killed him.

[Sirus]

Huh. I don't think I've ever noticed damage decals like that.

I mean, I'm usually dead in one or two shots anyway, but still...

[The Scout]

Huh. Sometimes one shot will kill me, and sometimes it takes 30. Nothing like a PzII driving full speed up to the enemy lines, using the flak cannon to murder 3 tanks, then tanking damage to almost kill 4 more.

[Jopax]

Don't play T10 games late at night, full of platooned clanners or bad and sleep deprived people. Matches will either be one sided stomps or boring campfests with generous application of trying not to get hit by the god damned hand of god arty.

[Rex_Nex]

Not only that, but the backlog of T7/8 arties that can't get into anything but T10 matches means near every match will have 4 per side :[

Oh yes, I love that feeling. I think my record in the hits survived department was something like 47 with my KV-1 in one of those beautiful matches where you're top tier and almost nothing can hurt you. :3

[Sirus]

Just got out of a match were I was probably the best on my team. Don't get me wrong: we got curb-stomped pretty badly. But of the seven tanks the enemy team lost, I destroyed four. One of which was a full-health medium tank in a one-on-one duel. Held up an entire flank for a few precious minutes. Feelsgoodman.

I'm really quite fond of the American tier 1 tank. It's quick, nimble, and can put out a surprising amount of firepower. Shame I lose 4 matches out of five with it

I believe what happen is if you hit a module you get the normal direst hit sound but deal no damage.

[tryrar]

yay I'm now the proud owner of a tier 5 arty, the amx 13f3!

Team is about to win. IS and Jagdtiger 88 versus T34 heavy and Tiger II, and both of the enemies have less than half health. IS completely fails at everything (he had a backshot against the Tiger and ample time to aim, and manages to hit the tracks and nothing else, plus he proceeds to open himself up to attack by the T34 by turning so that his side armor is at 90 degrees) and we lose. AAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGHHHH how the hell do you get to an IS by being that stupid!?
