Well... No pics or anything. This was in TG a day or 2 ago... This tank was NOT damaged. I was gunner and all the sudden this RPG comes flying right at us... I back up try to manuver... then bam... He got me in the front and destroyed my tank... I never knew that RPG's had that much power...

Don't know if this still happens, if its a bug or intetional, but back in .95 i killed a tank with an LAT RPG that went in the .50cal gunners seat on the Challenger.

You should review the battle recorder and maybe even post a small video showing that it was just 1 RPG, not to long ago we had a guy certain that an arty IED 100 meters out totaled his tank, then a lovely forum member posted a video of the battle recorder and their was an IED right below the tank, and even another further away.

There is the normal RPG and there is the RPG with tandem warhead.

You got owned by the latter.

Still pretty silly that a PG7-VR manages to take out sophisticated tanks with one shot to the front armor.

I am locking this, post a new thread if you actually have a video or screenshots of this happening. Preferably video.
