    Small arms ricochets?

    in Combat Mission Archive #2 (2000)

    Posted

    well thats all very nice pvt. ryan, but it doesnt explain my casualty now does it?

    and yes i am fully aware of the fact that the sound that i heard could be generated by the small arms fire hitting the ground or whatever, but it might as well have been the vehicle... I just mentioned the vehicle since it fitted in better. The crew were in a wood so it might have been the trees that i hit but i still hit something other than the crew (they recieved no casualties by the burst that made that sound, they got it from the burst before that).

    so i still want to know... can small arms fire ricochet???

    Can anyone confirm or deny this?

    Is it possible for infantry small arms fire to ricochet?

    I had a split SS panzer Escort squad take out a greyhound and when the crew bailed out my team started shotting at it. The crew took one casualty and fled without returning fire, but when my team fired upon the crew i heard the sound of bullets hitting the vehicle (wich the crew was on the opposite side of, so i just assumed it counted as me hitting the "cover", ie the vehicle) and then i noticed that i lost one member of the team. No other enemy units were anywere nearby (took them 6 turns to show up) and none of my other units were firing on anything. Having designed the scenario myself i know that there were no other enemy units nearby. so could it be that the burst that my team fired on the crew behind the burning greyhound wreck somehow ricocheted back and took out one of my guys? confused.gif

    If so i would like to say that this game will never ever leave my cd-drive again.

    New texture wanted!

    Well i just wanted to ask if any of you really good texture makers out there would like to make a winter texture for the poor old stug... in the winter camo frenzy that appeared a while ago (and seems to have faded now) everybody forgot the stug. and the panther too... why nobody made winter textures for the most numerous "tank" on the front i dont know. I use them all the time and im really annoyed that there is no winter cammo or white wash in winter scenarios. So what i am saying is, pleeeeeeeeeeeease do me the favour of making a winter stug... biggrin.gif

    I just thought id put my 2cents in... I agree with OGSF to some degree, but what i find very annoying is that vehicles that have a higher top speed than the one in front will allways just race right in to the vehicle in front. I think they whould be smart enough to realize (at least after a few tries) that they should abbide to the speed of the front vehicle.
