Old thread, but yeah, I've noticed in AF (don't have EF) that the 1-shot wonders have been on the rise.
On the flipside I've also noticed that it's taken me 5 or more shots with a tank to take down another tank, or even an APC frequently. Sure makes you change your strategy when you have 2 hits on a tank and you used to KNOW that 3rd hit would do him in, despite your own heavy damage. Now, if you don't see fire on that baby after hit #2 you may as well go off and repair and hope for a lucky shot later.
Maybe thats cause people know about the weak points in the tank armor. I dont know if its by design or by glitch but it appears armor is getting worthless. I have seen videos of the single shot to front track kills, and I have been on the recieving end of the C-ring hits.. I think its a flaw, and EA is just to proud to let everyone know they screwed up again.
Yep, seen all the videos too. (my buddy produced one of them, in fact). Regardless, the kind of hits that I'm suffering seem... very accurate. We're talking about moving targets at something like 100-200 meters over bumpy terrain. I could see the 1-shot kills from short range where tanks are just looking at each other, but... these seem to indicate either a phenomenal rise in accuracy of gunners with AF, OR a possible problem with moving hitboxes. (I'm guessing the latter)
CannonFodder...hmmm........used to work with a guy that used that nick. He was an arty officer in the Guard - last seen playing in the sand somewhere.
