April 25, 200719 yr I just tried to get on the Armory server but got kicked for Puck buster. (I had updated to 1.25 so I ran the manual PB updater.) However what I was wondering about was a hint on the server that said to hit the vehicle soft spots to kill them more easily. I am sure you have answered this before but what are the vehicle soft spots?:
April 25, 200719 yr Author It seems like sometimes when I am in a tank a player in the same tank facing straight on can take me out with less hits then I can take them out. Is there any advantage to firing at the turret? It seems they know something I don't.
April 25, 200719 yr I dont know but I fire a side shot if I can even if we are faceing each other it seems to me it takes them out a little faster so when you shoot dont shoot head on fire at the lower right or left or if ya ram them while shooting works for me
April 25, 200718 yr knees on battle walkers, side vents on APC's (little vents on side near ends) (both of these only "soft" with pilums, rockets, etc., I do believe...), tanks, back of course (I love one-shot pilum kills on tanks!) hmmm, there must be some on aircraft...
April 25, 200718 yr Author I will check it out when the site is back up. Got a message "This site is experiencing Technical difficulties....." Thanks for the education!

April 26, 200718 yr Author I appreciate your illumination in this area. I knew there had to be differences in the damage to vehicles but did not know the numbers. Thanks all of you.
April 26, 200718 yr WOW i kind of knew where i have to hit, now i have to remember that 18+16+35+54+62+37+65+50+47= aprox/2shots x sides/rear/top, to get one kill. Thanks Freefall ha ha lol dont get angry though i am not that good at maths lol
