Default Re: Russian RPG-29

Maxim, play the game more and do some tests BEFORE running to this forum with your latest "discovery" about whatever perceived shortcoming of the game you think you found. Do any of these reports specifically say a Merkava 4 was destroyed by a RPG-29 directly from the front ? No they do not.

Some may be "dazzled" by the headlines but I'm not. Note in the one link you provide they say.......

" firing at outflanking Merkava tanks by targeting the more vulnerable rear zone with RPGs.

Another link you provide ( globalresearch ) says.....

"He does not need to attack a Merkava from the front, where it does indeed have excellent protection. He can hit it from the side, the rear, or the space between the running gear — any tank has many vulnerable spots."

Now... take that information and set up tests with the sceanrio editor and you will find that the RPG 29, as modeled in the game, can INDEED destroy the Mk4 Merkavas as modeled in the game IF they are attacked from the sides and the rear which is HOW THEY WERE DESTROYED IN LEBANON

OK?

Don
