lorenzoj Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 I don't think the hip was ever intended to be a tank buster was it..... ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offlinepilot Posted October 7, 2013 Author Share Posted October 7, 2013 the S-8KOM rocket is for modern tank-busting (says the encyclopedia) so it should be possible :glare: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avimimus Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Sure - you can get a couple direct hits with the S-8 on the rear of a tank and thus destroy it - if you can get that close... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xaoslaad Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 (edited) For the record I would never ever get that close to an enemy tank in real life. I've been shot with guns, had my rotor blown clean off by main gun hits, and more. But you did ask if it was _possible_ not smart :D FWIW I find that it is better to aim with the target a bit above the center of the cross hair, between it and the first notch in the sight. I find there is a delay in firing rockets so firing a split second early gives me better results. Weapons take awhile to converge as well, so you may also want to consider aiming a tad left or right if you're close too. Aiming dead center is not always the right choice. I'm also somewhat critical about blast range of rockets, but for a tank I'd guess multiple direct hits or go home. And I'd love this feature I requested to become a reality: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=114521 Edited October 8, 2013 by xaoslaad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offlinepilot Posted October 8, 2013 Author Share Posted October 8, 2013 That would be really nice to be able to reload in the middle of nowhere. Since the blast-radius is really sad for the frag ones, and almost nonexistent on the 'anti tank' ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xaoslaad Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 (edited) Also, my Kentucky windage method of shooting probably isn't the best way. I'm sure the sight can be adjusted. I just haven't bothered to figure out how (yet). But knowing that for you so much up/down/left/right adjustment gives you good results would allow you to aim center and do it correctly. I proved the impossible, so maybe someone can teach us :D Edited October 8, 2013 by xaoslaad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weta43 Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 See - I'm too slow - there were no replies, now there's plenty... Haven't seen the track posted earlier - good chance it's a better job than this, but seeing as I've made it, I may as well post it.. T7tmbMGg1fI 1 Cheers.

Weta43 Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 For reasons I won't go into, I hadn't trimmed and was fighting the FFB & SAS. As I pulled the trigger it got a bit out of ballance :) Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepin1234 Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 There is a S-8 rocket version, The "S-8T" rocket is intended to engage modern tanks, including those provided with explosive reactive armor. This rocket have a Tandem-HEAT warhead. For some reason we have not this version in our Simulator. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
