Hello everybody!
After a while I returned to CMBB playing some great games with a friend.
But last game was a bit frustrating for me.
QB in June 1942, middle. 3000pts. meeting engagement.
I (Ger) bought 6 StuG/F 50mm knowing that I will have to handle a massive armored force of 15 T34. I was confident in the power of my StuGs if used in a correct way.
So right in the first round a platoon of my StuGs had visual contact with 2 T34 Mod.42 over a distance of 1200 m. After a short firefight two of my StuGs went up in flames, while the third had its gun damaged, taking out only one of the two T34 and a lot of own shells missing their target.
Ok, frustrating, but it was just bad luck I thougt.
A few minutes later. my second platoon had a platoon of T34 coming in their sight. Before the first shot was fire the three T34 had a visual too with my StuGs. A firefight started, with a result of one T34 in flames and three abandoned StuGs. The distance was about 300-400 meters. My StuGs had fired about 10 shots, with only 3! hits.
So whats up with those StuGs in CMBB?
Best optics, great gun. But they aimed like a poor infantry gun and the T34 hit with 90% of their shots.
Was this whole game just bad luck, or are StuGs really that poor in CMBB?
I mean the Sturmartillerie was an elite troop with an great rate of loss:kills.
Veterans told me that they where even selfconfident facing the enemy with a rate of 1:4.
Greetings...
PS: Also had an 88mm recoiling from a T34 turret at 300m
