i would not say wtf. That is not odd or anything. Panthers side armor is kind of a protective and that at gun was so close that penetration was impossible cause bullet didnt get enough air-time. ( at guns need long distace that they are effective and in close range at's dosent penetrate almost anything.)
It is just a at guns weakness. Move ur at's further from tanks and BOOM it will be effective
Do you know what the fuck COH is? yes tanks can reach 0 HP and not die as they get healed back to 1hp even if hurt, as long as it isn't considered a kill shot.
Its a smart system as in prevents you from losing your tiger from a crappy shot.
Lol, this game has some kill critical you have to get before kill something. My dad once followed my King Tiger, which had like barely of a sliver of HP, from the US base all the way back to mine across Route N13 and never killed it. All the while hitting it with M8's, 57mm AT Guns and Rangers and never did kill it......Its quite annoying when that happens but nothing dies unless the shooter gets the 'kill crit'......its weird..
1- Bounces, that deal very little to no dmg, and CANNOT ever kill a tank.
2- Regular hits, that deal normal dmg, and have a 50% chance of killing tank if hp is at 0.
3- Critical hits, deal high dmg and have a 100% chance to kill a tank if its hp is at 0.
To die tanks need to be at 0 hp, and take a critical or a regular hit. In this video the 1st 6 shots were bounces, and while they can do dmg they cannot kill. The 7 regular hit did the trick.
It's not a bug, all tanks require a critical hit when they are on their last 5% percent of health. It just took the ATG a few more times than usual to get a critical hit. It is why it is hard to kill tanks with just a lot of sticky bombs as they have a really low critical hit rate. Attacking a vehicle from behind also increases the chance of getting a critical hit.
It's called the 5% bug guys. Vehicles and ATG's can randomly get it when they get down to 5% health, and they basically refuse to die. This happens when multiple 'criticals' have already been inflicted on the vehicle in question- in this case, a destroyed main gun, and possibly a destroyed engine.
When vehicles get this bug, another, final 'critical' must be inflicted on the tank, and there is a very low chance a critical will be inflicted when hitting the Panther's frontal armour.
You must realise that AT weapons get maximum penatration (I went there) from long distance shooting. It's point-blank in range, so most likely the modifers didn't take into account 'cause of such short range..
6.16 meaning that it will penetrate from the rear 616% of the time (excluding outside multipliers). The default multiplier for damage inflicted by deflected shots is .15 or 15% meaning your AT gun will be doing 15%of the damage it would be until it goes down to about 5% health in which case, it may get a "buff" of some sort. This issue has been brought up many times in the past but I personally think it should stay.
It's no bug. It's just the algorithm of the game. It actually makes the game more realistic because in the real world, there is no set amount of shots it will take to destroy a tank. Anyway the reason for this is because of the lack of penetration. On the current version, the American AT gun has a penetration multiplier of .35 meaning it will penetrate 35% of the time from the front and sides (excluding outside multipliers). From the rear, it has a penetration multiplier of...
Although German tanks were bad-ass, the only chance they had of winning the war was to design a tank that was easy to make and they could spam against the allies.
In other words, the Germans needed a tank equivalent to the Sherman or T-34.
@ieuanhale They had a tank, the Panzer IV. Easy to make and repair. Not to mention it was still lethel as hell to a sherman. But Hitlers' obsession with "over-kill" tanks cost them the war. If a Pnzr IV could easily kill a Sherman, and a Tiger just makes the thing explode it matters. For the cost of making one tiger, germany could have made 4 Panzer IV's.
@2010Hassler Ja, Well like i said, Sherman not T-34. But still, if Germany had made a german version of the T-34 the war probably would have gone on longer, and with all the physo-badass jets, guns, tanks, etc... the war might have had a different outcome. If the germans constantly upgrade their weapons they could have done a lost more. The only reason they lost is because they had over or out dated stuff.
@2010Hassler Not saying anyone in the war wasnt a hero. American, Britsh, Russian, espesally German, and even the Japanese to some extent all were. Fighting for freedom or defending your country, its all the same, heroes.
Deutschland war nicht allein... Against the USSR Hungary, Romania, Italy and Bulgaria all sent several hundred thousand soldiers of their own. If you add up all their loses on the eastern front that accounts to over a million deaths that were not German. The Germans were definitely not alone.
Secondly, Germany fielded many large and powerful tanks, but they were not "quality" tanks. Tigers and Panthers broke down constantly and had many problems, unlike the American weaker tanks.
That's a ridiculous exaggeration. The real number was generally 4 Shermans for every Tiger.
At the end of the day, Shermans proved to be the better tank, because they were far easier to repair; could move and turn faster; did not break down as much; and could be replaced far more easily and swiftly. This is why today everyone across the globe uses medium tanks - like the Sherman - and not heavy tanks - like the Tiger. =/
@nero91 Im not saying they werent different, they are. But the light, medum, etc... are old terms. you never hear anyone call an Abrams a medium tank. most armies only have one type of vehicle for each need. Tank, IFV, land based attack aircraft, sea based attack aircraft, etc. so if theres only one in the catagory there is no need to call it heavy, medum,.......
ya i had also such thing, but only with the off map artillery. there were 5 axis tank coming up on my base so used the off map artillery skill on them, 4 got hit hard and one of them had like 10% life left, and he didnt lose any lifepoints. and he got hit 3 times of them -.-
this is not a bug, more an incredible inconvience. the game engine is also pure mathematics, so there is the chance that 6 pak shots do not penetrate the panther.
5% bug is fixed, i've recently only seen a shadow of it, once...
there are other minor bugs in the game and overpowered units, but it's really not that bad, and I think it gives character to the game, after every patch, people start using different units, because some get nerfed and so on.
It's not a bug really... you have a cetain percent chance to penetrate armor when you hit it and you can only finish a tank with a penetrating blow. Pop AP rounds on your AT gun if you don't want to leave it to chance.
This game is fucking retarded. It was clearly made by some pissed off nazis still mad about losing the real war.
Allies get all the shitty bugs while Axis get bugs like this one. The Allies armor is so weak that if you drive a Pershing over a rock to fast the shit explodes.
I bet you know the history yourself, but still - germans were outnumbered, western front = five to one, eastern front = even ten to one.
And they've nearly succeeded, minor changes, and they would've won.
Listen to some veterans from allies side, giving interviews, talking about germans...They had tremendous respect to each other, after all, they were soldiers, obeying to what the higher ranked officers tell them to do. You disobey - you get hanged.
Obviously a total noob or you would know just how off that dumbass statement is. Or possible an Axis noob player who only plays axis.
I have played all factions and was over lvl 13 on all. Axis clearly has all the advantage and is much more likely to win a match that goes longer than 20mins.
The game is far from balanced. Unless you play axis. In that case its doing ok.
yes, as an allie you have advantages in the early game, and later the germans get the advantages. if you think its so bad, then play something else....
There's like a million tools to counter every single spammable or overpowered thing in the game.
It's difficult, but it's counterable, even if the game is not balanced.
In order to be successful in games (and life), you should try altering your skill in the given occupation, rather than having someone make something easy for you.
Have you seen fights with only 1 hand and so on ? Isn't that stoic ant inspiring ?
Sorry to say, but you're whining. That doesn't win anyone's heart, ever.
what happens is that when the gun is destroyed if you shoot anywhere near the gun it dosent do any damage you have to get behind it which is really hard
if you didn't notice all but the last shot bounced off most of the time shots that bounce off cause no damage i guess the at gun was hitting it at a bad angle

That wont be the first time ive seen that......my dad followed my King Tiger from his base to my base on Route N13 and never killed it....chased it w/ rangers and M8s.....then ive had jumbos that have no hp left..hull down and they dont die....so yeah, tanks havin no HP and living like that isnt new...sometimes annoying but w/e
I think the "bug" is because neither in the engine nor in real life it was supposed to happen, because, well, the engine was supposed to be as real as possible, and in real life it is totaly impossible for an AP round to bounce in a panthers side armor 6 times in a row from that distance. But well, to the engine, thats a possibility
In all honesty, an antitank shell at close range, well point-blank range, at the side-armor should have destroyed it, no matter how loosely realistic you want to be.
The reason the Panther got blasted out of existence in the 1st place was because the poster of this video wasn't playing he was watching a recorded game that could have been by anyone.
lulwut? This was from a game I played with a few friends at a lan so before you start saying this and that maybe look at the comments posted early on.
7 shots, thats possible, it happen 1 per 100 times though, that panther is in Veteran 3, it got its homogeneous skirt armour, tougher than average Panthers. A Sherman takes 12 shots to be destroyed by a Panzer IV also happen(rarely!) The real thing without its side skirt armour only 50mm thick, adding skirt armour is over 80mm thick.
all of the Shots are 'Deflections' at 5% health All vehicals need a Critical in order to be destroyed. Deflected shots do not calculate a critical, so in turn can not kill a vehical at 5%.
All 6 shots are deflected, you can see the round bouncing around in the air on most of them.
umm...that's not a bug dude...thats normal...in both the game and real life. At that extremely close range the shells don't have the velocity they need to penetrate the armor. Coh immitates this with it's physics engine, as you get closer to your target your chances of the shell bouncing off increase dramatically, which happened to you the first 6 times.
its the penetration modifier.Probably a old version of the game, and as i said before, the panther has vet 3. At vet 3 even sticky bombs fail sometimes.
Killshots is diferent from damage shots. Your shots did dmg. But to do a kill shot you have to get a penatrating round and a good one at that. No rebounce shot can kill.
Panthers are real machines. You were unlucky but its not a bug. Just a lucky panther.
dude, i saw a replay where a guy destroyed his m26 tank with a grenade to get a new one for free. A ******* grenade. I also saw a calliope get damaged engine from FIRE.lol
Ever saw a king tiger blown away by a granade? or a panther? didn't think so.
M26 tank is a weakling in terms of armor. Its open topped so no wonder a granade has a small chance to kill it. Calliope is in it self a sherman. Another medium tank. Altought its a 1-10000 chance, because i never saw it, but if you say so ok.
Try to kill a panther with granades and then come back to talk.
Don't get me wrong i love allies. The airborne sherman firefly combo is the bane of the germans.
However german armor is much harder to kill. Thats why AT guns have piercing rounds. For the kill shot to work.
The pershing is the ultimate tank of the allies but its still not resistant. The pershing is indeed much faster than the german tanks, considering its power.
Still taking german tanks head on is almost impossible. Unless your british.
The M26 didn't come into the war before the Germans where as good as done in the war. They had a handful of tanks left and didn't have anything to make new ones, let alone producing more of the same.
The M26 was the next step in tank designs although I always look at the Panther design to be THE perfect tank design. Good cannon against other tanks, sloped armor etc. Only flaws where mechanical failures during the introduction days, Hitler didn't give time to test the tank and perfect the engine.
did you use armor piercing rounds or normal ones? because a Vet 3 panther also gets side armor skirts and if you where firing normal rounds at it wel maby that's why it took 7 shots
Yeah all your teachers informed you not to use WIKIPEDIA because "people submit that stuff" well actually people submit everything you read unless there are aliens or gorillas that can write...dunno?
Anyway Wikipedia is a great starting point for research you just need to be sure to use a second or third source that is reliable.
For instance go check out the WIKI site on panthers then go to Janes to back up what you've read.
Yep thats a bug. You get it some times when you destory the main gun of a tank. The rounds them some times dont penetrate the tank anymore. You also get that alot with Churchill tanks in the game.
Once I sent an engineer crew behind an enemy AT-gun group, and it took them 3 minutes to kill 3 enemies from the back, from 1 meter, when they didn't shoot back...
thats not a bug, something similar happend to me but vs a tiger with main cannon and engine disabled, LOL, when its 1% health, it still took 10 shots from a sherman with 76mm gun upgrade
Everyone knows the Panther has some ungodly undamageable side armor, attack it from behind at the engine..

Armour piercing?
sadate360 3 years ago
fail, it's because the first 6 shells didn't penetrate the armor, they bounced off. learn how the game works before you complain about it.
KvantOne 3 years ago 34
I think the "bug" is because neither in the engine nor in real life it was supposed to happen, because, well, the engine was supposed to be as real as possible, and in real life it is totaly impossible for an AP round to bounce in a panthers side armor 6 times in a row from that distance. But well, to the engine, thats a possibility
XBlackFuryX 2 years ago
Yes but even if they bounce off they still do some damage
6 shells would have destroyed him unless its a bug

@KvantOne even if the shells didn't penetrate the armor it still hurt a bit
kakaknotegas 1 year ago
@KvantOne
In all honesty, an antitank shell at close range, well point-blank range, at the side-armor should have destroyed it, no matter how loosely realistic you want to be.
SaladofStones 1 year ago
@KvantOne thats not true when a shell penetrates thats why smoke when it bounces of there nothing or theres a small spark....

The reason the Panther got blasted out of existence in the 1st place was because the poster of this video wasn't playing he was watching a recorded game that could have been by anyone.

7 shots, thats possible, it happen 1 per 100 times though, that panther is in Veteran 3, it got its homogeneous skirt armour, tougher than average Panthers. A Sherman takes 12 shots to be destroyed by a Panzer IV also happen(rarely!) The real thing without its side skirt armour only 50mm thick, adding skirt armour is over 80mm thick.

I had a sniper kill an eelshwreck thingy(no idea how to spell it) and immediatley got a Vet 3 and 1 light armor kill
Flaytality 3 years ago
No... it is not a bug.
all of the Shots are 'Deflections' at 5% health All vehicals need a Critical in order to be destroyed. Deflected shots do not calculate a critical, so in turn can not kill a vehical at 5%.
All 6 shots are deflected, you can see the round bouncing around in the air on most of them.

adrian15041994 3 years ago
My question is why the hell you were just sitting a non damaged engine panther there and letting it get hit
Shagva 3 years ago 10
umm...that's not a bug dude...thats normal...in both the game and real life. At that extremely close range the shells don't have the velocity they need to penetrate the armor. Coh immitates this with it's physics engine, as you get closer to your target your chances of the shell bouncing off increase dramatically, which happened to you the first 6 times.
NaturalViolence 3 years ago 6
nope, its a bug dude.COH is a game, not a simulation.
adrian15041994 3 years ago
Can't you see the shells bouncing ? It is not a bug...
Elviejodragon 3 years ago
its the penetration modifier.Probably a old version of the game, and as i said before, the panther has vet 3. At vet 3 even sticky bombs fail sometimes.
adrian15041994 3 years ago
Killshots is diferent from damage shots. Your shots did dmg. But to do a kill shot you have to get a penatrating round and a good one at that. No rebounce shot can kill.
Panthers are real machines. You were unlucky but its not a bug. Just a lucky panther.
snakept69 3 years ago 5
dude, i saw a replay where a guy destroyed his m26 tank with a grenade to get a new one for free. A ******* grenade. I also saw a calliope get damaged engine from FIRE.lol
adrian15041994 3 years ago
Ever saw a king tiger blown away by a granade? or a panther? didn't think so.
M26 tank is a weakling in terms of armor. Its open topped so no wonder a granade has a small chance to kill it. Calliope is in it self a sherman. Another medium tank. Altought its a 1-10000 chance, because i never saw it, but if you say so ok.
Try to kill a panther with granades and then come back to talk.
snakept69 3 years ago
There are 3 types of shots.
1- Rebounce, where you see the projectile fly away from the target after hitting it. Does light dmg.
2- Normal where you see the shot go to the tank but you can notice it didn't went far. Good dmg.
3- Critcal hit. Generaly you see a small explosion and things fly from the tank and almost allways gets something dmged.
The kind of shots that takes 1/3 of the life off ou sherman or almost kills light cars.
A critial is allways a killing shot.
snakept69 3 years ago
actually, the m26 is the "panther" of the allies, and when is gets vet 3 it can almost go head to head with a tiger.
adrian15041994 3 years ago
A tiger no vet firing with his back turned. The M26 is not that great. All allied tanks are so so compared to the germans.
Allied tanks do have better speed, but nothing more.
Allys have to win with more smart methods that raw power.
Calling an M26 a "panher" of the allies is not correct.
My opinion anyways
snakept69 3 years ago
it is pretty good. Like i said, it is the panther of the allies.You can only have one at a time though, which is really lame.
And i know the m26 is like the m10, but the game says the m26 is the pershing.
adrian15041994 3 years ago
also, have you seen the pershing?It is almost as a t34.
adrian15041994 3 years ago
Don't get me wrong i love allies. The airborne sherman firefly combo is the bane of the germans.
However german armor is much harder to kill. Thats why AT guns have piercing rounds. For the kill shot to work.
The pershing is the ultimate tank of the allies but its still not resistant. The pershing is indeed much faster than the german tanks, considering its power.
Still taking german tanks head on is almost impossible. Unless your british.
snakept69 3 years ago
BTW, the game puts the m26 as the pershing, which was a very powerful tank in the war.
adrian15041994 3 years ago
The M26 didn't come into the war before the Germans where as good as done in the war. They had a handful of tanks left and didn't have anything to make new ones, let alone producing more of the same.
The M26 was the next step in tank designs although I always look at the Panther design to be THE perfect tank design. Good cannon against other tanks, sloped armor etc. Only flaws where mechanical failures during the introduction days, Hitler didn't give time to test the tank and perfect the engine.

did you use armor piercing rounds or normal ones? because a Vet 3 panther also gets side armor skirts and if you where firing normal rounds at it wel maby that's why it took 7 shots

the reason its not dieing is cuz the armor is slopped witch mean that shells have a change of bouncing off if hit on a certan angle, but 7 wow

Yeah all your teachers informed you not to use WIKIPEDIA because "people submit that stuff" well actually people submit everything you read unless there are aliens or gorillas that can write...dunno?
Anyway Wikipedia is a great starting point for research you just need to be sure to use a second or third source that is reliable.
For instance go check out the WIKI site on panthers then go to Janes to back up what you've read.
WIKI is a great tool you just need to be careful.
