That's a painful one for sure!  Lose the tank, lose the men, lose your well laid plans, all w one shell.  Or was it an FPV drone? -- awfully precise for artillery.  Thanks for sharing, as always.

@FlammenwerferX's luckiest artillery shot ever.  Somehow this one landed right on the deck killing my entire SMG HQ riding on the tank in addition to KO'ing the tank and killing the entire crew as well.  
Ugggh.

I've had that on at least two Panthers in recent games.  One on a road under artillery fire so just one of those 💩 things.  The other in a forest with no LOS in and a single round arrived, that was more 💩💩💩.

As mentioned elsewhere, having never played a battle in any modern title, I accepted a challenge from our good friend @Ultradave to play 'Czechmate' with me as Soviets.  To encourage me (😂) he said this was pretty much what he trained for in RL.  Great way to start, right?
It's a very nice map and I'm starting to enjoy it but having initially lost several vehicles to TOWs from invisible launchers I'm being a bit more cautious and beginning to get spots on some of his units.  Not knowing much about modern weapons is a concern, as is my lack of long range AT assets at the current stage of the game - I have (sorry had) 4 T62s (now 3) but nothing else with range. That will change when the main force arrives.  None if this will come as a surprise to Dave so I'm not giving away much intel.
Overall, I think if I view the exercise as a lesson from the master I will hopefully not be too disappointed when I lose...

I have five going right now. One CMFI, one CMCW, and three CMBN.

Five in total although 2 are mirrored. 4 FB and 1 BN. Just finished a SF2.
What do you think of CW @Vacillator?

As one of those people, I have our game plus another 4 going (ours FI, 2 FBs, 1 BN and 1 CW).  As a 'modern virgin' the last is rather scary.  I normally have one or two RTs going but not at the moment.

Just wanted to see everyone's PBEM CM experience level?  Are you a regular, vet, elite??  I'm just curious how much everyone else does.
Currently I have 5 PBEMs going against three different people.  Theaters in play right now are 2 RT, 1 BN, 1 FB and 1 FI.
Who are the warriors out there?
 

Again from Road to Bastogne

 

It looks like I have 2 more. Rattenkreig and The Cross of Iron.

NICE!!! All in alphabetical order also.

It's 23, I counted Tiger Trail twice as I had the pre-release testing version.
 

Ok, back to the real action.  @FlammenwerferX and I have about 6 minutes left in Metal on Metal Comet vs Panther, and I have to say this have been some of the craziest, most vicious, up-close, knife fight, tank battling I have experienced.  

A couple of shots from @dragonwynn's CMCW campaign, Seven Days.  It's been REALLY fun so far!


This brave American soldier had fought so hard defending this position, survived being overrun by three BMPs and a T-62 by chucking grenades and shooting anything that dared come at him, even holding his breath to spring up at the last second to gun down this charging Soviet, only to be instantaneously killed by one bullet while reloading his rifle.

And now for something completely different...
Italy.
Firefight!


The rarely seen Italian fascists!

 

My favorite light tank of the war.

German airborne amongst the rubble.

Death of a Panther
Minaev's T-34 stalks an unsuspecting Panther that has just shot up his platoon mates.


He spots and fires first, narrowly missing the Panther.

The Panther panics and starts to reverse...

Minaev's gunner adjusts his aim whilst the loader slams another shell into the breech.

Minaev's gunner does not miss the second shot. A flash and the Panther starts to burn...

 
 

@Phantom Captain@S-Tank@FlammenwerferX  Thanks again for sharing!  Great stuff.  Now if work would just slow down so I could play more.  I am living thru vicariously thru your adventures.

@S-Tank  Stunning!  That last one is amazing!

This looks awesome!  Thanks!
