Hi All,

How close together have two shells fired at each other passed?

I don't know if any of you have seen this but I spotted it and am passing it along.

First screenshot: the two shells about to pass each other.
The top shell is from a Panzerscreck, the bottom shell a T-34.
Surprisingly they are indeed "different sizes."

Second screenshot:
Top- view from the Panzerscreck team with shells circled.
Bottom- view from the T-34 w/ shells circled.

Although its hard to tell from these angles the shells did pass along the same "straight line" missing each other by only a few feet.

My Panzerschreck team fired first, but the T-34's shell impacted first.
However the T-34 was the one hit and penetrated. :D

The t34 round has 5X the speed of the "Schreck" round, that would explain the reason that the t34 round hit 1st. The damage done is a different story. Maybe the "Schreck" round just missed?
Always something new to learn in this game.

Maybe I said that wrong- the T-34's shot fell short (it was on a flat trajectory) and while the Schreck's shell "arced" and hit the T-34 knocking it out.

Nice to see our game here :)

Sometimes, I've seen tanks firing at each other at the same time. Very rare situation, but shell may have travel on not so different trajectory.
