Satchel did not kill light tank

[raptorxm]

Why my satchel did not kill light tank ? WTF it was killing medium&heavy tanks. Anyone ever seen this, satchel was directly on the back of light tank.

[aj187]

yes, had this happen multiple times now and it has all been recent. Also rockets hitting the tank and its like its hitting something right before it hits if that makes sense, their not being deflected by armor, that a distinct sound, but does no damage even right in the back of it,

I bet it killed every friendly within 25m, whether or not they were in a covered position

it has to be placed directly on the hull. if you place it on a jerry can or other object sticking out it for whatever reason doesn't count as being on the tank

Ok but a few games ago i placed satchel 8 m from medium sherman and that tank died, and my satchel was on the hull of that light tank so it was 0 meters from the tank so that doesnt make sense. Devman need to fix that

Yeah, I hate when this happens. This happens like 1 out of every 3 Tank's I place a satchel on. I'm starting to wonder if you can disarm satchels (I've never tried) cause there is no explosion at all, like the satchel disappeared or something.

Yea you can, but my satchel exploded and did nothing, enemy tank was just 1 solo guy

Good to know, thanks.

I also dont like when you use rockets, the crew can jump out and shoot before you can even reload. They should at least be suppressed or something, they just got their world rocked, shouldnt be able to get out and defend unscathed.

You do get suppressed slightly when you are hit by a rocket inside a Tank, and getting out of the Tank isn't always easy either, it can be disorienting knowing where you are when you first pop out of a Tank. I get killed a lot jumping out trying to stop an AT guy or Engineer.

As AT, you can easily switch back to your Rifle and kill the Commander or Crewman, especially Crewman who only have a pistol. Also, if you are reloading, don't stand out in the open when doing it, seek cover and then reload.

Suppression is a problem in this game sometimes, in that it doesn't seem to work when logically it would. Many times when I've hip/brace fired with the MG42 in a one-on-one the enemy seemingly hasn't been suppressed at all, but instead they shoot accurately through the 25 rounds per second heading in their direction and drop me.

yeah personally that isn't a issue for me either. i'd prefer if crewmen jumped out more. easier to kill them haha.

It's a known issue that placing satchels on anything but the hull may result in a non-kill. Avoid placing satchels on tracks or external components, like exhaust vents, fuel cans, etc.

Or the top of turrets.... Ask me how I know. Which makes zero sense. Roof armor of a tank is quite thin with squishy bits inches away.

There is SO much wrong and wacky with tanks and killing them.

If you place it on engine it will not kill tank. Kind of making sense if you play war thunder and... big fat engine absorb all the explosion

No, it should be dead, and it is bug, light tank should not survive explosion that kills medium and heavy tanks. Realistic the back of the tank would be gone.

Second thing i played a lot and satchel is able to take out medium tank from few meters. And for heavy it might be 1 or 2 direct satchels.
