weapons...., a few inconsistancies.. Options

[flatliner]

jsut a quick post on weapons strength.

I have found that some of the hend held artillery (bazooka, etc) give inconsistant results. I can sneak like a ninja up behind a heavy and blast it dead center in the back. not dead. but many times, it happens to me. is there some trick to this, or is i just a random thing. I was hit twice today by "death" and it was a one shot one kill situation. do i have to hit a corner or what....

thanks.

I feel quite sure I've been killed in the Russian heavy with one shot from behind several times. OTOH, I know I've aimed perfectly at the back of a heavy, shot, and not killed and wondered "WTF". Other times, I feel quite sure I shot a full health heavy in the back for a one shot kill. So, I get the impression it is either inconsistent, or the "sweet spot" is very very small.

In fact, I also had the impression that rockets striking from a longer distance hit harder than a short distance rocket. Is that my imagination? I remember once in a full health camoflage tanks and getting killed with a rocket with one shot even though I was pointing straight at the shooter meaning the shot came from directly in front where the armour is highest. (specifically, I was in tank behind German 2, and got shot from German spawn house...watched the shot all the way!)

One occasion I've been killed in Grey German tank with one shot from the side, though I often shoot that tank from the side but one shot did not kill.

Anyway, perhaps I'm wrong on the "distance" thing, but if so, there must be an explanation why sometimes bazooka shots from the side kill with one shot, even though they don't most times. Same for KV1 shots from behind. Anyone know these answers?

I dont know about side armor for the grey panzer but I do know you can kill it with 2 shots to the front if you know where to aim. The mounted MG on top! When looking at it head on, just above the turret there's a grey bubble that a German would be in to use the MG. Thats a sweet spot. Two good hits and its done!
