Title: Kugelblitz vs. T-34
Post by: ubermensche on July 31, 2013, 03:38:22 PM
Yesterday, my 2 Kugelblitzes literally owned the shit out of a lone T-34 without taking any casualties. That poor Russian tank was literally being turned over by the impact of those 30mm cannons it was pretty hilarious to watch. Unfortunately I didn't take any screens. :(

I'm not complaining that much about it because I kinda feel that the T-34 deserved it: its rear armor was facing my flakpanzers and it didn't try to move or anything.

But I'm still wondering: is that suppose to happen?

Yes the kugalblitz is a tank in its own right. Therfore it can take tank shots and live easily. I also mind you that the t34/76 is ai not direct AT. So it won't outright kill the kugal in lile 3 shots. Also the kugals shots WILL penetrate rear armor. And even if it didn't the overall bounc damage is enough to kill a tank after a few barrages. Considering you had 2 kugals, then you did this even 2x as fast.

That's pretty cool  ;D, but I have a couple questions because that sounds pretty weird.

Was the T-34 at full health?
How long did it take your Kugels to take it down?
Was it a T-34/76?
And how much health did your Kugels lose?

But isnt the kugel supposed to be like the ostwind in that it's supposed to be an anti infantry and light vehicle tank?

Maybe a low health tank or with rear shots it can, but this seems a bit odd

I'd call it more of a non-doctrinal whirblewind.

1) When I saw it happen, the T-34 was at 50% health. But it could've started happening before I saw it. I left my Kugels in that place for a while.
2) It took them around a minute.
3) Yes, it was a 76.
4) Both started at full health. One was down to about 30% while the other was still at full because it wasn't being shot at.
