This cant be right...

[S_Z]

There has been a lot of talk here about the armor of the different vehicles…someone said you could take out a M1A1 with 3 LAWs so ***I wanted to check it out for my self.
I just opened the mission editor and added an empty M1A1 and some ammo started to shoot at the tank.

What I came up with was this:
Front: 6 LAW *** ***Back: 7 LAW

Hmm what’s up with that…not very realistic!!
The front SHOULD be more protected than the back of a tank!!
I tried some different tanks and got the same result…the back is more protected than the front

This cant be right! Is it just my version of OFP or what?
BTW the extended armor option is off.

Maybe you didn't hit it properly? What did you aim for? Turret? Main body? Tracks?

And how far away were you, maybe some of the missiles missed it?

I tried it several times.. always with the same result(6 to the front and 7 to the back of the tank) and I was not that far away so im sure that I hit it(aiming for the main body)

Could anyone else please try this and tell me the result...
Sounds like there is something wrong with my OFP...

No nearly everybody i talk to says thats how many it takes, when i do it it does the same. anyway&#33; it deserves that kind of armour&#33;

I can&#39;t destroy it with 3 LAWs, but I can&#39;t destroy a T80 with 3 LAWs either.

But the thing is that the front is weaker than the back of the tank...that cant be right, it should be the other way around

hmmmm ?

[Espectro]

Hmm, i can kill the m1a1 with 6 laws from the back....also with the front. It takes 4 hit on the turret to disable it.

whats the best place to attack on a tank?

i always go for its barrel so it wont be able to aim properly

Damn that is strange in version 1.00 and demo
3 LAWs was enough to kill Abrams
but now it is obviously not enough
