Tigers vs M10 Tank Destroyer 5% bug...

[Seregon]

Hi guys,

i was playing a game recently and i was playing axis blitz doc. Something really wierd happened, everybody knows that there is a 5% bug but this one is unbelieveable!
Here is a video i made in the replay
(sorry about bad quality, im not familiar with compressing and making videos ect... no sound either)

just watch how many shots the m10 takes to die due the 5% bug!

OK, now this has got to be a bad joke.

Right?

[Seregon]

no it isnt, if you dont believe me i will post a replay later (not on the good pc right now)

[ugordan]

Oh, I believe you. And I see it. I just can't believe what I'm seeing.

* baffled *

Just to make sure no1 has doubts its fake, here is the replay.

(it happens at the end of the when the opponents 2 'bases are totally annihalated.)

It happens between minute ''35 till end.''

I don't believe this is a bug, it's a 'feature' that requires tanks take a critical hit to be destroyed.

[LTSearchEngine]

It's a bug and a feature. They want tanks to be hard to finish, but they also said it wasn;t working like they hoped.

Edit: After being brought to 5% health: 11 tiger shots, 1 miss, 10 penetrating hits, no deflections.

Wow.

I've seen things almost that bad with deflections, but never 9 penetrating hits doing nothing. Not even a damaged engine: you realize it could have just driven away and been repaired, no problem?

[damocles]

I wonder if they can make "soft" tanks like M10s and Ostwinds be more prone to critical hits. That would negate the silly situations like the video above. It would also make the M10 act as the strike and retreat unit it's supposed to be, instead of the strike, and move a bit and strike, and move a bit and strike, and move a bit and strike, and move a bit and strike, and move a bit and strike, and move a bit and strike, and move a bit and strike, and move a bit and strike, and move a bit and strike, and move a bit and strike, and move a bit and strike, and move a bit and strike, and move a bit and strike, and move a bit and strike, and move a bit and strike, and move a bit and strike, and move a bit and strike, and move a bit and strike, and move a bit and strike, and move a bit and strike, and move a bit and strike, and move a bit and strike, and move a bit and strike, and move a bit and strike, and move a bit and strike, and move a bit and strike, and move a bit and strike, and move a bit and strike, and move a bit and strike, and move a bit and strike, and move a bit and strike, and move a bit and strike, and move a bit and strike, and move a bit and strike, and move a bit and strike, and move a bit and strike, and move a bit and strike, and move a bit and strike, and move a bit and strike, and move a bit and strike, tank it is now.

Damn , that armor is even stronger then a Pershing !
holy damn .


but i had that a few times too , a Pershing needed 7 shots to take out a Tiger
was at that kind of health , and a sherman killed it with one shot from the front .

i thought the Pershing gun was better then a sherman ??????

[Redonmyhead]

I've seen this with schreks also w/ m10s. nothing new.

[Avatar *Insane*]

can you explain to me what happen, because I can see it.

thanks

This is the most annoying thing in the game to me. Get a tank down to 5% then watch shot after shot after shot bounce off. Recently had a game where I got a Tiger down to 5% and simply couldn't kill it. AT shots, upgunned sherman shots, and RR shots doing nothing. So while I'm pissing around trying to finish off this Tiger, here comes Tiger #2 on the field.

One of the dumbest game mechanics I've seen in quite some time if this 5% thing is actually a feature.
