Got whacked by a Panther today on the Korea map. He didn’t appear on the map and when I rounded a corner (the hill overlooking objective B) there was nothing but a big cloud of smoke from his grenades. No designator for the tank on the screen…and he put three straight shots into me, with no visibility?
Must have thermals. :-)
This weekend seemed especially bad for things that just didn’t seem legit.
You could’ve been spotted or the ‘Panther guy’ used binoculars, given that binoculars increases by a lot your detection radius, you can spot vehicles behind meters of forest and dense vegetation as long it’s inside its field of view and detection radius, in such cases trees are usually not counted and the visibility percentage factor also influences this mechanic.
There is a trick that since the sight in grb and gab are in front of the gun, if u poke ur gun out a bit from the smoke u can still see but the enemy dont, could also be he got a first lucky shot on u and the 2nd and 3rd are guesstimate.
