50 cal vs halftracks

[Max_Damage]

Has anyone ever actually managed to counter and even kill the halftracks with infantry 50 cal teams?

 

[Vyllis]

Does it ever fire at them now?

i killed many zerman trucks with two 50 cals hidden in forest and with 2 star vet at A phase. (Second star from leader ofc)


EDIT: Even i forgot to mention, that i killed some tanks with it from side. When armor is too strong for 50 cal to penetrate it, that unit stop firing. If armor is 2 or below it stars firing freaking API

Can a dev confirm this? Or someone dig into the files because this sounds fishy?

well 50 cal is 12.7 which can penetrate those halftrucks by easy. If armor is thick like 2 or below, 50 cals will start firing at enemy armored car or even some shitty tanks.

It doesn't have an AP value, so how can it?

I'm wanting to know if this is a hidden stat. HE weapons will not fire on armored targets so please give some evidence of this.

Seen chap claim to kill a k tiger with 1 shooting its rear, another claiming it had more "damage dealing" then a 37mm in the hidden stats, it could be a bugged weapon or something?

The .50 do fire on HT though, seen it.

*armor of 3

one hmg doesnt really do enough suppression to be worth shooting at a HT. if you have 2 or the HT is already suppressed, go for it.

I just wanna see it verified. I'm not here like some dipshit claiming that people are lying, I just want the facts laid bare........................................so I can use that shit knowing that it will work.

Yeah I am on the same thought with it to be honest, few people who claim an issue have posted actual decent footage of said issue, or proven anything "hidden", which is annoying. Its like people who complain about the AP or AV of something then dont say why theres an issue.

well i am not saying it has AP power, but it shooting APIT rounds. Just look at patch notes, those from beta, theres i think something about those 50 cals, that they can shoot to armor 2 and below.
