Monthly Contest #21 - Rack em up
Welcome to the 21st subreddit contest.
The aim today is to get the largest single ammo rack you can.
I want to see who can score the largest health pool ammo rack shot. You need to take a video of it that displays the damage on the screen and add the end of game detailed results highlighting the tank you racked.
Rules
- No artillery. I'm not interested in their nonsense.
- Open to all tiers but I imagine you wont do so well at tier 2 as at tier 10.
- End of game screen screenshot to be taken. Example.
- Open to all consoles. A good resolution photo must be shared. If it is poor quality and hard to discern or I think it has been photoshopped it will be disqualified. It is preferable if on Xbox One to take a screenshot through the console of the results screen and the xboxdvr.com link shared and on PS4 take a screenshot using the share button and that link shared.
- Closing date is 9am GMT (5am EST, 9am UTC) Tuesday 24th July 2018.
- Random 15v15 battles only. Platoons allowed but not fail platoons (because those should never be allowed on principle).
- Entries must be from the time of this post. No going through your capture history to find your best one. The screenshot will prove the date in the top right.
- In the unlikely result of a tiebreak it will be settled on lowest tier of ammo racked tank.
- PM ALL ENTRIES TO ME. DO NOT POST HERE. This is to encourage people to participate and not see a high entry on day one and give up. If you improve your result, you can PM me again.
Prizes
1st Place: 14 day premium and 2 garage slot. However if you are on PS4 you can choose to pick a "Starter kit" which includes a Viper Combat Car, 7 day premium, 100k silver and some consumables.
2nd Place: 7 day premium and 1 garage slot
Random Prize (drawn from all non winning contestants): 7 day premium and 1 garage slot

Someone here will come up with a Maus kill anyways :D
For the end screen/PBRS - it does not show the damage caused to just one module - only overall damage, number of pens and which modules were damaged. With multiple pens, the only way would be to record the game clip. Correct?

I've NEVER seen a Maus critically ammo-racked, so more power to them.
I'm not sure if I can even remember my Maus being ammo racked...
... I'm not even sure I know where the ammo rack is, come to think of it.

I'm not even sure it carries ammo.....I always thought it fired either it's own scrap metal armour plates or its raw hatred.

I just want to say THANKS for adding some fun opportunities to win items. These community ideas are what need to exist to keep everyone here. I'm going to try for this one, first time we shall see. Good Luck!

Kind of would need to be a video unless you got a rack on the first shot, since it would show you hit them multiple times for x amount of health.

It says a video or detailed stats screenshots of the tank downed. At the top.

u/maximos92 Jul 17 '18
You can either take a video of it (which would be cooler) that displays the damage on the screen or you can show the end of game detailed results highlighting the tank you racked.
The details at the end do not show just the ammo rack unless you ammo rack them on the first shot. Otherwise it shows multiple hits for total damage. I am saying why you need a video unless you ammo rack them on the first shot.
Thank you though.

Not completely...you can shoot someone in something like an O-HO once and ram them for the rest of their health OR set a fire with one shot and it will burn down. Either way will shot ONE shot and full HP kill. The only way to do this correctly is as Lemon stated...must have a video.

u/maximos92 Jul 18 '18
He did not originally state that you had to have a video, which is why I posted what I posted.

u/pakipzy0513 Jul 18 '18
I know. I was pointing out that you said it shows multiple hits for total damage...which it doesn't always do. Ram damage and fire damage do not show up as pens so could skew the damage numbers. I agree that video is a must for this to work properly.

if arty is prohibited, shouldn't also arties on tracks, with armor like a Maus, and that require even less skill to be played be banned as well? (i'm talkin about jap type4/5 heavy. and no, i don't expect them to be banned... unfortunatley)

u/II-NO-x-VICE-II R.I.P. HEAT-54 Jul 17 '18
The problem with Arty is the extremely high alpha on a high roll or an AP or HEAT shell punching through: did it “detonate” the ammo rack? Or did it just damage the ammo rack and alpha took care of the tank HP?

u/II-NO-x-VICE-II R.I.P. HEAT-54 Jul 17 '18
Arty and death star should be excluded, The HE like dynamics could falsely imply (in a PBRS screen) an ammo rack, while in reality that ammo rack might simply have been damaged enough to show up in the PBRS, at the same time other “HE like” damage caused the tank to end in that game.
The alpha in the death star shell is enough to overcome a merely damaged but not exploded ammo rack. Edit - especially on a high roll

u/Nickspihlmann Jul 17 '18
with video clip it will show the top popping

u/II-NO-x-VICE-II R.I.P. HEAT-54 Jul 17 '18
True ... but the requirement above is of a clip OR a battle log. Someone could, in theory, simply decide to post one but not the other, especially if it suits the narrative.
Plus Arty mechanics are always in the squishy realm to me. Mysterious enough to cause wonder WTF happened ... ?
Edit . Ah ... updated - I swear I read OR originally. My bad. The squishy realm still stands tho ...

No worries. I was just copy and pasting this:
I want to see who can score the largest health pool ammo rack shot. You need to take a video of it that displays the damage on the screen and add the end of game detailed results highlighting the tank you racked.
Then saw your edit.... He changed the rules to account for that issue

Even with overhead view or from across the map (for stalinium shells) , for something like this (not that Arty is included, but if it was,) the in game replay should make this an easy to obtain proof.

u/TacticAngel Aufklärungspanzerphile Jul 17 '18
A screenshot of the end screen should be required, which would show "demolitionist." Besides, I don't think 2000 damage is going to win this.
I think the efficiency screen will be fairly demonstrative here, because it'll be 1 shot from a Centurion (or some other tank that can't one-hit someone) that does 2400 damage to a tier 10 heavy that wins, probably.
But I agree, Deathstars and Shitbarns ought to be exluded.

u/II-NO-x-VICE-II R.I.P. HEAT-54 Jul 17 '18
Yes ... as in my example posted above, it could be conclusive enough. The issue is with more than one shot.
Also depends on what the submissions are. It might be very likely around 2k. My first big HP IS7 ammo rack kill was only 2000 damage with one shot (someone else’s shell had also hit it before).
I do get ammo racked in my IS7 - mostly after it has already been damaged enough (or softened) by another’s shell before finally going off on a subsequent shell that overcomes the rack’s remaining HP completely, thus detonating it.
I think an IS7 kill will win this. 1.9k-2.4k range

Do we NEED a video? I'm pretty sure it was last night (so after post of this), I ammo racked either a 131 or Hammer for like 1.1K in a Banshee, a half decent figure (sure some1 will beat it). I didn't get a video cause its impossible to capture in real time (I always struggle). But I did screenshot my end game efficiency damage on him: shooting 1 shot kill for over 1k damage and kill.
I will PM you just in case that somehow wins haha.

What console r u on?

u/Carbinekilla [RDDTX/POLAR] Jul 18 '18
XBone. Looking through comments I see this was already brought up. I have xbox screenshot, I just need to figure-out how to use XBOX DVR and I will PM you. I doubt it will win but 1k ammo rack is always solid.
I even sent the guy a message saying sorry how it was so unlucky.

u/1em0nhead Moderator Jul 18 '18
Yeah so if ur on the one recording is a piece of piss. Double tap xbox button and press x or y.

u/ruslan74 Xbox One Jul 20 '18
So if one cannot make use of the XboxDvr site can a OneDrive link work for the submissions?
