rump Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 I was playing around with PELE rounds (in a Leopardo), first lined up a platoon T-55's and was able to destroy them all. TC acted as expected.Then, I changed the targets to a platoon of T-72M4's. TC calls 'tank, fire', I fire, PELE round has no effect. I fire again, TC calls 'cease fire'. Ignoring him, I fire another couple of PELE rounds (TC keeps calling 'cease fire'), eventually killing the target. Now, the TC starts calling 'tank, fire' again!It was almost as if the TC at first lost faith, and then after seeing the kill got in the game again... - Rump 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tacbat Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Strange that the TC didn't order a change in ammo to something more appropriate for engaging a tank... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GH_Lieste Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 I don't suppose the range was around 2km or slightly over? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rump Posted October 7, 2010 Author Share Posted October 7, 2010 Range was just over 1 KM. Tank was loaded only with PELE, no Sabots on board. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hackworth Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Range was just over 1 KM. Tank was loaded only with PELE, no Sabots on board.with nothing but PELE on board, should the TC request an ammo change? I would think not.(?) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Volcano Posted October 7, 2010 Moderators Share Posted October 7, 2010 Range was just over 1 KM. Tank was loaded only with PELE, no Sabots on board.Only the PELE round? Not sure what else the TC would do then, other than to tell you to not shoot and just stare at the target... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted October 7, 2010 Members Share Posted October 7, 2010 The computer-controlled commander is just that - a robot, acting on a set of parameters. Even a just subtle parameter change may make him change his mind. It should also be noted that computer-controlled crews will act on one basic armor strength parameter for each side. They are not aware of specific weak spots or anything. So a human gunner may still be able to kill a target where the computer-controlled commander might consider the attempt futile. Usually however the target is so far away that the natural dispersion of the gun shots will make it impossible to hit a specific weak spot reliably. You would then waste a lot of ammo before scoring a lucky strike, and give away your position in the process, inviting fire from the target - or someone else.Disengaging and seeking a better attack angle from a different firing position would usually be the prudent thing to do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stemik Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 PELE? I find it odd that you're firing a former Brazilian soccer player at them. But if you have nothing left... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire an EFF Word!" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
