If I'm lucky enough to ...
hit a helo or a jet with a round from a tank, IT SHOULD BLOW UP immediately, not just start smoking.
Comments?
Sometimes I feel like 2/3'rds Rice Krispies. Past "Snap" and "Crackle" but just shy of "Pop"!

Re: If I'm lucky enough to ...
I think the question is "shouldn't a helo or jet blow up no matter which sort of tank shell you're shooting at it?"

Re: If I'm lucky enough to ...
I think the question is "why are you shooting at a helicopter with a tank when there are AA pickup kits and AA vehicles and AA emplacements and .50 cal turrets that are much better suited to do the job? Help your team by taking out the enemy armor, not taking potshots and any choppers that fly past."

I've yet to hit a Eurotiger with a Heap shell and not have it blow up immediately. The Hind might be tougher (?) but adding some guns in will certainly get the job done or he will at the least have to run away.

Use HEAP for Helos, Jets and cars.

Re: If I'm lucky enough to ...
Your response is inappropriate. If you've taken out the nearby armor and a helo is sitting in front of you, I would consider it quite foolish to NOT try and take a shot at it. I think the question was defined just fine, thank you.

Re: If I'm lucky enough to ...
Well, the reason for posing the question is this: When I'm playing a map with a bunch of jets and helo's, getting into a tank makes you nothing more than a target, and a rather defenseless one at that.
I love this game more than I should, but that is one feature of both vanilla and POE2 that gets my panties in a knot.

Re: If I'm lucky enough to ...
Oh, and another thing: Splash damage on tank rounds = ZERO. I can land a round from a tank 2 feet from a ground trooper and he's still healthy enough run a NY marathon. Turret not going low enough to shoot him in the noggin? To bad, cuz he's placing C4 on your backside and there's nothing you can do except exit.... but then he'd have the tank.
/rant off. Now, back to my regularly scheduled programming.

This does not sound like you are using HEAP shells. The splash damage is quite high with those shells since soft targets and infantry is what they are designed for. Originally Posted by MoreGooder

Re: If I'm lucky enough to ...
Interesting! You can select from different shells in the tank?
If that's true, then my love for the tank just returned! I must have missed something.......

Yeah, I read the forum entry you linked to, but by the time I had read that all of the other people posted their replies, so it made me look like a knucklehead. Yeah, OK, I'm a knucklehead once in a great while. Most of the time I'm Einstein Jr. Originally Posted by Bommando

Use your mouse wheel or your switch weapons key to select different rounds.
SABOT = Armoured targets: Tanks / APCs. Little splash damage. High penetration.
HEAP = Soft targets: Infantry, helos, Jeeps. Little penetration. High splash damage.
The UKR T84 also has TV missiles that do huge damage to targets.
Armoured Section from the online PoE2 Manual.

Check out the PoE manual on the poe manual on the point of existance home page. (would post the link, but not made 15 posts yet???!! ) Originally Posted by MoreGooder

And on tanks taking helo's down being unrealistic.
I remember this being discussed in the dc forums a good while back, and a vid was posted of a tank indeed taking a helo down. It is possible
A good one also with the heap is against the transport helis, if they are actually carrying troops, is a shot in the passenger compartment, bye bye, passengers and the pilot also takes health damage from the blast.
Been on the wrong end of that and the right end

In one of the first rounds I had on First Snow I shot my nade launcher into a transports open rear hatch and the explosion took out both the pilot and passenger....was pretty sweet. Originally Posted by sfcthebam
