(this is my first ever topic so plz go easy on me) so i was playing on a 24/7 karkand server i was the usmc and i decided to jump into the tank, so iam driving up the road and i c a vodkin driving at me full speed so i shoot the main gun and to my dissmay i c then tank shell rickocht off the vodkin and hit a parked humvee and blow it to bits and the vodkin just drives on buy. so is this a glich or just pure luck to the guy in the vodkin!!(and i thaught id tell u guys about it)
Lmao, that must have been funny. Classic "wtf?" moment.
VodNIK! vodNIK! besides the spelling, thats a moment where you hunt them down for daring to disobey your orders to DIE! and sit there thinking wtf.....
Aside from the awful spelling, I would like to know that how much have time in armour have you played? A lot of shots go ricochet/ glance a enemy, it's not that much of a "wtf" moment now. Although the enemy pretty much sufferes the same damage than a non glancing hit.
definitly a WTF moment

If you read the 'features' of Battefield 2 you'll find that it says that Tanks have reflective armour, so tank shells can riccochet off if hit at certain angles.
However, I've never seen this feature in game, and was wondering where it went.
Your report on your stubborn Vodnik seem to suggest that Dice, instead of putting this reflective armour on the tanks, mucked up and put it on the Vodnik instead. Ah well, at least we know where it is now.

Probably quite a few BF2 players from Edmonton, we all got too much money to spend.
The tanks have reactive armor according to the manual, which meens that tank shells will richoet off.
hahahaha thats why i love edmonton though.....so much to do and so much money to makePoint&Shoot wrote:

yo Point&Shoot hit me up with a pm and well play together sometime
lol i just played warlord and shot 2 tank shells along with the machine gun firing at a all raider and it didnt blow. i can just imagine that if the guy could stick the finger at me he would as he drove by me on his merry way.

wtf how can a fricken tank shell richochet off anything?
you guys, he is talking about the main cannon, like a 150mm round, not the machien gun

its a 120mm cannon, and tank shells at the right angles ricochet off many things, including all vehicles and mounds of dirt.ryan_14 wrote:

ive had it where ive shot the main cannon and the shell has passsed completely through both vodka windies and missed!!..so much of a wtf moment and totally blind....like how can u miss from like 3 ft!!!
This video shows how the richochet can be used to get a one shot tank kill.

pretty sweet move if you can get it right.

now i have this proble with bullets in 2142 i shoot at a tank and hit the soildure next to it lol
Come on dude, no one's going to flame you if this was your first post, don't be so afraid of the prowlies on this forum, no one would've known if you hadn't brought it up saying this was your first post and everything would've happened just the way all information transactions are made in this intellectual (or lack thereof) battlefield. Haha, I like your car though, the Vodkin, has a certain spark to itGR34 wrote:

As has been stated above tanks have reflective armour, if you ask cable or a few of the other US server guys I fired one shell and it destroyed a tank and a APC that were near each other, fun times.
But how this happened with a Vodnik I don't know, as Ty said could just be dodgy coding, or maybe you were at such an angle that the shell reflected.
Also if you fire the walker guns in 2142 at a shallow enough angle they ricochet off the ground and continue upwards, maybe this ricochet occurs in BF2, and maybe it occurs for everything, as I've noticed some weird stuff when prone as infantry.
Amazes me that after over a year we're still working stuff out of this game....

I spent a couple years with the Royal Canadian Dragoons (Tank Corps). I've seen real 105mm shells bounce off all kinds of things. It's one of the main reasons tanks have deflective sloping armor so that the shells don't have a vertical surface to impact and shred.
Now in BF2 I'm not a vehicle person, I'm a ground-pounder. So I haven't seen a tank shell deflect, I'm sure it happens because I've had flash bangs, nades, and smoke that has careened off things in a "WTF??" manner quite a bit. BF2's physics are not exactly great, and when the engine gets confused I think it automatically sends objects off in a tangent.
PS - Calgary > Edmonton

I have launched an AT rocket at a tank that was a bit close to me and have it go right through the tank and disapear, another WTF moment. Welcome to BF2.
Thats almost impossible, and if you miss the shot the damage isnt something to bank on.ShotYourSix wrote:

Best thing you can do is keep it simple, and aim for the tracks/back.
Probably the same problem with the SRAW, it goes through jeeps coming straight at you. It might've looked like it ricocheted if you shot at the side.
