Hull Down Tanks

lol i didnt think we were that hard to kill. My friend (other brit) doesn't really play pvp but he did ok with the hull down tanks,i just used piat ambushs and mines as defences. the funny part was that canci was calling us noobs when all he did was blob huge tank hunter blobs and sent them into the meat grinder!plus i dont like anilat games anymore vp is more aggressive,fast and fun.but one thing i got to give u guys that made me stay interested longer in the game was the V1s!THEY completely  scared the shit out of me!!Soon as i heard it i was like were do i go this way that way, it was so fun!but one thing i noticed was a v1 landed right on top of two hulled down cromwells and only went down 25% health so i dont know about those hull downs.

The post from GR is correct. Hull down disables movement but gives you 0.75 received penetration and 0.75 received damage.

[Dann88]

0.75 received penetration from both sides, front and rear?

[GodlikeDennis]

Yes. However rear penetration is much easier than front anyway. Rear shots even in hull down will likely penetrate.

Penetration of shrek vs normal Churchill rear armour: ~1.2 ie. 100%
Penetration of shrek vs hull down Churchill rear armour: ~0.9 ie. 90%

Churchills get better armour than Tigers when hull down.

And sometime, I control the tank to get the side of enemy's tank but mysteriously my tank shoot the side part near the front and get a ricochet? And tankhunters too, they stand in the front of the tank, shoot and get a rear amor hit

COH is weird and unpredictable, plus it does only know front and rear armor, there is nothing such as side armor.

Incorrectish, there is something that is Side Armor. Side armor is kinda like Rear Armor but you can't "Crit Hit".

so true Dennis
i recently played Seeme, and no offense he sucks, but because he was blobbing guard squads like mad it was hard to beat him and his blobbing allies and took longer than it should have

...

Sure I had a bunch of Guards, but I didnt "blob them". I had 2 T-34s Supporting them.

Plus it was a 4v4 game, gotta have fun once and awhile. I would never even make Guards in a tourney or against a player like Dennis or a high skilled player. 4v4 Should Not judge how good someone is. I didn't even have guards until the last 10 min. And no offense you weren't the best, yourself

And If I recall I wanted a VP game, anyway.

Sorry, am not the best player in the world, but I do not blob.

Guards are very nice units in the next patch. I recommend using them.

[Seeme]

Well I mean the game would end before I could spam them

I didn't read this whole thread, it may have been answered. Does Hull Down give the tank and increased rate of fire as well?

[neosdark]

I don't believe that was asked and from experience I don't believe it gives a RoF increase, but I'm not 100 % sure on that.

No.

[Paladin88]

Hull down... ouch for enemy players, I think this topic is about done.

(What more can be said about this topic?)

[FLgator]

Since you asked Paladin, lol.

Can you Hull down in water? Can you hull down on anything that isn't raised? Or are there restrictions on what you can hull down on?
Once hulled down, does the range of the weapon increase?

No bonus I am aware of range wise, and you can hulldown on anything...I'm 95% sure on that, Not sure about extreme slopes. I know you can on hills and in water but not sure about something like a cliff.
