Hi Jeff, Taking your example: <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR> IIRC, the 75 has about 80mm of pen at that range,and the StuG has about 80mm of armor at 10 degrees. So a penetration should not come as a surprise. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Do you think that the quality of the STuG's armor is the reason why the Sherman is consistanly getting kills on the STuG or the PzIV? Say the armor quality is 85% and thickness is 80mm, I would think that the Sherman should consistanly kill the STuG if it can penetrate 80mm of armor.

How about just doing one really nice one for the Sherman. Sure its not an exotic German Heavy Tank, but you probably could use it over and over and over again for all other 12(?) Sherman variants with hopefully little to no modification to the textures. Plus you would most likely see them in most games, since they seem to be everywhere. Just a thought. Btw nice picture of the donkey .

You could have the crews in a permanently panicked state after they bail out. The only drawback would be that they might run around in circles like chickens with their heads cut off.

I think that air attacks would be very rare when the computer generates the forces. They are very expensive about ~300 points in the artillery section IIRC, and usually the limit for artillery is less then that. I was trying that last night . The easiest way to try out air attacks is to make your own battles in the editor, that was fun. Had 7 elite american planes with some Jumbos attacking a king tiger, 4 wirblewinds and a whole bunch of quad 20mm. They killed my tiger but I killed all the planes. Its a little hard to tell when the planes got hit or not, since there was just so much fire going around. The rocket(?) expolsions look like minature catastrophic explosions on the ground, plus they make huge craters, very well done. Too bad there wasn't a DYO operations, now that would be just too cool. Too bad there is just so little time in a day to play this game.

Got mine at lunch time today. I'm in the SF Bay Area . Hmmm Lakers or CM, tough call.
