  1. I've had this anomaly occur often enough to mention it now, even with the 1.03 patch. Frequently, my tanks will let loose a burst from the bow MG at an enemy AFV (often at quite close range), while the main armament fails to acquire the target and remains unengaged for many crucial seconds. Is there no "communication" between the crew of an AFV?

    Interesting. Lebanon is not a desert country though -- it is forested, with narrow, twisting roads, not unlike Europe. And I saw all sorts of Syrian T-72s and T-62s burning brightly there.

  3. I had this argument before. I believe it was with Fionn (before whose untapped depths of arcane lore I bow wink.gif)

    It seems the 31 50mm armed variants were never produced. The source of that bit of mis-info is von Senger und Etterlin and a number of others (including myself) have propogated the myth.

  4. Well, a couple of points come up here.

    1) Your Pz IVj may not have seen the Sherman that whacked it, but did see the crew.

    2) Yes, historically at least, the crew was far more important than the machine. A tank can be built far quicker (and with less cost) than properly training a crew.

    But my guess is that number one applies here.
