I hit a A-26 with a Puma on Alpenfestung and got a hit marker but the plane only started smoking from both engines. I was surprised since I know I hit it.
Took down a yak9 yesterday with a panzerfaust, first panzerfaust to plane kill ever for me
But yes, sometimes (well not sometimes....a LOT of the time) this game drops packets and your target only gets reduced or no damage at all. Kind of a pain in the neck but that's not something we can fix.
Why is it unrealistic for a tank to shoot down a plane with it's main gun? High velocity cannon taking down an airplane seems reasonable to me, I mean that flak18/36 is both anti tank and can be used for anti air. Planes coming in that low make themselves vulnerable to ground fire, whether it's from rifle, MG, or Cannon fire. If you're in a slow plane don't go in near the ground, or you're dead. I mean how often would you see an he111 of ju88 flying ground level during combat? They don't have the speed or manueverabiliyt of a dive bomber you know

Hmm, I can't see anyone complaining about it's unrealistic to shoot down planes with tankguns in this thread (not counting 1st post, since I can decipher what he is trying to say). So I'll just consider that a proof of developer paranioa
All this thread is about is hotshots that brag about how good they are with scoring kills, I'm just waiting for that special person to claim a planekill with a knife
(although I did once get a FF|cihset k98sniper Allanx when that guy flew a plane. Had shot him with an AAgun and then switched to sniper rifle)
I never heard about a tank shooting down a plane with it's primary weapon.
Ok, they do have high velocity guns, similar/identical to AA-guns, but those AA-guns were used to shoot bombers flying some kilometers above the ground with relative small speed and not to attack dive-bombing or strafing planes which move extremely fast, as far as I know.
So, for gameplay's sake I don't mind if not every hit of a tank destroys an aircraft.

Well since the bombs aren't exaclty doing realistic damage there is little choice.
