Post Scriptum - New Anti-Tank Mechanics [GER Comms/ENG Subs]

[@Vade]

The dynamic between tanks and AT has changed with the new tank system in place. Single ATs aren't able to easily kill multiple tanks as before and teamwork is even more essential to combat tanks. On the other hand damaging them to render them combat ineffective or force them to retreat is much more viable now. Stay tuned for more AT encounter videos in the near future!

Weird, in real life they were more than able to. Even the panzerfaust.

[@Kazal0r]

@@Focusonbehind this is because the PS team is not pursuing historical accuracy in this aspect of the game.

@@Focusonbehind for realism enlisted is much better than post scriptum unfortunately vade doesn't play it

[@_kommandant_3055]

@@Focusonbehind In real life a penetration from a panzerfaust (which were not super reliable to begin with) sends a narrow stream of plasma and some spalling/shrapnel into the tank (just like in game). But if there's no components or crew directly on the other side of it then its effectiveness becomes quite less. So shot placement is extremely important, just like irl. Crew have the option to stay in their tank or bail out depending on the severeness of damage caused both to the crew and the tank. The primary difference is that in real life crew feared for their lives and often bailed on first penetration (but not always) while in game they tend to stay inside the safety of the tank longer. It's really quite realistic when you really look at it

If Vade and his team were in "Fury" the last stand would've end very quickly.

[@-Castial-]

Fury shouldn't have survived that long , its because of the rediculous plot armor

[@graustreifbrombeerkralle1078]

I agree with you there, Vade. The changes overall are very good because ATs can't just simply take-down tanks that easily anymore. Like you said, teamwork now is much more essential. However, it sometimes truly is a bit... dumb that I a Daimler or a Staghound takes an 88mm rocket straight to the face and simply nothing happens.

I absolutely love the new Anti tank mechanics! They don’t simply one shot tanks like they did before. Now there is some skill and knowledge required to use them effectively. This feels more genuine because you can not kill tanks by quick peeking them with PIAT, bazooka, etc.

[@proudfirebrand3946]

Strange that's usually what the Germans did late in the war, with Panzerfausts being more common, peek and shoot into the side and rear as it got the job done...

[@Kazal0r]

@@proudfirebrand3946 oh yeah you were there? Tell me about it? How did you and your unit take out enemy tanks?

[@_kommandant_3055]

If you hit the ammo rack with a rocket it often still kills the tank in 1 shot. The stream/cone of shrapnel from the rocket after penetration is very narrow and requires you to accurately hit locations of crew and components

[@thedrain9328]

@@Kazal0r Bro chill he just wanted to talk about history

[@aquila3958]

That’s exactly how you kill a tank though? Flank it, hit it with a rocket in the side or rear and it’s done for, this just allows for even more aggressive tank gameplay without caring about actually getting blown up

[@CalebNorthNorman]

Wow...and Vade is the leader in the Infantry Tank Killing Championship ...tanks dont seem as easy to kill as they used too. Or at least they have more options to survive perhaps.

[@Vade]

I'd say it's more the latter. You can still reliably take them out, but you need much more knowledge to do so - same goes for tank vs tank!

[@CalebNorthNorman]

@@Vade Well that's all sounds like progress. This is becoming more like a War simulator. I hope they continue to have the Rifles in PS to still stay a 1 shot take down. If it took 2 shots i will have to be a permanent logi truck driver LOL 😁

[@Angry-Lynx]

@@CalebNorthNorman not even close to being a sim. Just because you can kill with one shot and have pretty, Hollywood explosions doesn't make it realistic

[@randkorp2003]

I just started playing this game a month ago and find it very difficult to aim accurately. Is it because I use a mouse? Should I be using a controller?

[@Vade]

Try turning on different sensitivity scales and play around with the values for 1x zoom and 4x zoom - usually that helps!

[@descriptiondescriptiondescript]

It looks like it's pretty difficult to 1 shot them now :'( Time to buff AT back, giving an extra rocket or something

[@stonebridge157]

No, its done with purpose. So 1 man army can't just drive around in jeep and 1 shot enm tanks. Much more realistic now. Way better. Inf AT now need more coordination and teamwork.

[@tedarcher9120]

Man, this damage model... Tank gets filled with molten copper flying at mach 5,and nobody dies

[@_kommandant_3055]

With this model, the rocket detonates and sends a very narrow cone/stream of shrapnel into the tank. If there's a crew member on the other side of the spot it detonates they will die. However missing the location of a crew member even slightly will result in the stream passing by them and hitting something else that's often not that vital (or really vital if you're lucky). There's also potential spalling, but a single piece of spalling only wounds crew (other than a headshot maybe?) and causes them to need to bandage themselves

[@tedarcher9120]

@@_kommandant_3055 irl it is a narrow stream with a cone of shrapnel and metal spray around it, which bounces inside the tank and ignites fuel and ammo. I think war thunder models it kinda close, but their aphe model is also completely wrong

[@keenmate9719]

I remember my days with Heroes & Generals where there were AT pricks riding on bikes all over the map and destroyed my tank with a single mine. That ruined the game, it was useless to have tank at all. This is much better, MUCH.

[@stonebridge157]

It actually was like this in PS as well.

[@potassiumpermanganate8803]

Can HEAT rounds bounce? I dont think its possible

[@Kazal0r]

Yes, In this game, all HEAT rounds from any source, will bounce on 30mm of armor at 30 degrees angle of impact. This includes HEAT from tanks, and shaped charged hand held anti tanks weapons.

[@_kommandant_3055]

HEAT rounds, especially from rockets, were known to bounce when hitting a surface at an angle that failed to trigger the fuse

@@grimgorkeisenpelz9392 Thanks. They're not 100% realistic (that's intentional for gameplay) but they're a lot more realistic than people think at initial glance.

[@thetrainshop]

HEAT rounds from rockets bouncing is rediculous lol

[@_kommandant_3055]

Heat rounds from rockets were exceptionally prone to bouncing because if the rocket hit at an angle it would not trigger the fuse and would simply bounce off. Though it is exaggerated in game, but then the failure of rockets to detonate also isn't in game either

[@johnnypetersen3818]

Imagine hitting with a rocket dead on, only for it to just squash against the hull and slide off. Theres a reason most video games dont simulate jams and faulty triggers.

[@kimjanek646]

Kinda feels like War Thunder now, from the looks of it. Maybe even worse, with how many shells it takes to neutralize a vehicle. Not sure how it works but I think that wounded crews inside the tank shouldn't be able to operate a vehicle as easily, or even at all, and require to heal up first. Shells penetrating armor should leave holes that make the crew vulnerable from the outside. Dead crew inside the tank would make it very difficult to operate the vehicle since their bodies are in the way and so on 🤔

[@FedorFox]

idk what tanks you're using in war thunder, since it usually only takes 1-2 shots to destroy an enemy.

[@kimjanek646]

@@FedorFox With APHE which explodes like a stationary high explosive shell inside the the tank, making it a lot better than it should be. But with solid shot it can take ages and the crew will just repair internal components and fight back even when the tank is burning.
