I don't know if this is posted before, but today something strange happend while playing on a public server. At karkand I was sitting in the turret of the tank at spawn and one of the APCs was making a fool of himself blocking the road, then I started shooting at his turret with the 50 cal and very soon I started getting teamdamagepoints. Afterwards I started an empty server to try this out on my own and found out that if you shoot the APC with the 50 cal at it's turret, right about where the barrel is, it starts to take damage very rapidly. With a little luck you can blow it with one single burst before overheat. Don't know if this is a glitch, because I thought APC was immune against bullets. As far as I know this is the only spot it takes damage from bullets.
Yep, but I think it only works with the LAV.
I've never noticed this, but good luck hitting the APC in that precise spot during a tank battle.
I forgot to test it with the personal weapons though, do you know if this works as well?
It's pretty hopeless though to make benefits of this in battle I guess.
What happen if you shoot a missile at this spot? Is it a one-hit-kill?

Works with the minigun aswell.
Obviously you don't armor whore. Homercide is right and it is only on the lav. Also there are one hit shots on the tanks you noobs just have to find them.Ryan wrote:

don't call longtime forum vets noobs on here...
People won't like you if you do that

Actually this can be quite good if you're standing behind a fence (like the one be the train in karkand or MECbase), since APC cant shoot through the fences with the cannon, while the 50 cal goes right through. Anyway, if you hit on every shot with the 50 cal it takes shorter time to kill the APC, than killing him with two AT rockets (Because of reload).
One-shot-kills are rare though, I think I can count on one hand the times I've been killed by such.

I will apologize for Ryan, for wasting your fucking time, that you had to read that!Johnny_Extremer wrote:

I have been playing for quite a while also, and did NOT know this either.
Some of us have lives, and don't study every fucking aspect of the game.
Just like Ryan, I never noticed this before.
But I appreciate the little note from Homercide.
So if you know so damn much, why are you wasting your time in here with us "n00bs".
We would rather play the game than get all technical finding the 'sweetspots'. Now if the only way you can take an APC/Tank down is with the 'one shot sweetspot', then you are the noob.Johnny_Extremer wrote:

upload and mark a picture of the apc...that might help you in telling us where the sweet spot is

Ah, whats a noob?.. If he truly was a noob he would never noticed
Oh, ffs. This was posted on the forums a loooooooong time ago. I knew this.
Yes, this is old, but how many bullets does it take for a M95 to kill?
The sweet spot is a bit right from the main turret.I thinkCDK3Y wrote:

ya i heard that you could kill a apc with a 50 cal placement.......but i play on IO so........nevermind for me but will consider that when i do face an apc with a humvee

the sweet spot is on the other side and one tank round will set it on fire m95 does 3/4 bar damage nothing else seems to do anything

About 21-22 before he starts to flame. So anyone saying that it's "just as fast as two AT rockets" has NO idea how long it takes to fire 21-22 M95 bullets.some_random_panda wrote:

The minigun does damage anywhere on the APC, just not that much_NL_Lt.EngineerFox wrote:
