Wittmann

Does anyone fancy creating scenarios based on popular war movies, such as 'Kelly's Heroes' I'm sure a few good missions could come of this

This is on my wish list..has anyone got one...any good?

I drove a tank half way through a house (entirely possible, I know!) With the turret swung to the left..eventually the AI cottoned on and hit the reverse before proceding around the building. 1. Has any one had worse trouble than this? 2. has anyone sustained damage to gun or vehicle hitting scenery? (It would be cool if a foolish manouver could ruin your main gun)

I got a tank under hunt orders who took a hit which damaged its gun,continue on its order path with no defence!!! In reality he should have bugged out and called the cavalry

Check your e-mail I'll take you on

Pei Jesu domine.....

I've just seen the funniest thing. Villers-Bocage Tiger! I passed a building and started taking Piat hits from about 20 yards. They glanced off the turret of my Tiger and landed right back onto the building where the team were hiding...You should have seen those guys run

I'll just take a short cut through the trees, there won't be any infantry in there. That tank hasn't got the firepower to get me from there....anyway he hasn't even got line of sight. [This message has been edited by Wittmann (edited 07-13-2000).]

I love this scenario to bits...I died several times getting cocky...but then aced it with a bit of caution in the right places Axis tally was 27 allied armour kills. I don't remember the rest of the stats, or how many Witt bagged, but he was immobilised just like reality,and continued to be a pill-box for the rest of the scenario. At least he didn't bail!

Open tops being buttoned has had me a little confused ,since only the driver gets additional protection when vision hatches are shut. The passengers ,however are in a conspicuous(sp?) place and will draw fire. This will generate combat stress,and lead to routing. Also bullets follow a curved path due to gravity, so decent troops could observe tracer, and be able to get hot lead zinging around the passenger compartment.

I had a soldier hide up in a building,and oven baste an M3 half track...4th of July all over.....He did get nailed from 6 directions straight after though :-(

I've screamed in horror several times in 'Villers-Bocage-Tiger!' I've heard the 1.03 will hold armour targets much better...although a piat team is a major threat so may be a priority for 9 1/2 kilos of HE.

Gotta be Tiger I Kinda chunky but really satisfying crunch when it pounds those Shermys (sounds like a choccy bar, huh?)

Taper bore refers to the shot fired being squeezed as it travels up the barrel. Since the propellant force is acting over a reducing diameter, the velocity increases. I'm sure a math / physics major could sort out the equation...It's too long ago for me to remember :-0 [This message has been edited by Wittmann (edited 07-12-2000).]

I bagged 19 and then lost a track...I held up the allies till 'the cavalry' showed up.....then they got their asses kicked. My tiger took hits from all over, but the. re-enforcements got killed 1st hit. Did you also find that a rifle squad could distract a tiger from targetting a cromwell or firefly?

You drive past a road repair crew,And one of them lifts a pipe...You immediately **** yourself cos you thought it was a panzerschrek :-0

Hey guys, It's here...me and my buddy in the next county got ours on the same day. It only took a little over a week..Well worth the wait! Nuff said.

I seem to remember that the turret alternative to Porsche was Henschel(not sure of spelling as my reference not handy). Krupp and Rheinmetall produced the 8.8cm main gun. Either way , the porsche turrets were pretty scarce ~ about 50 I think

1. You gun your car engine and crawl along looking all around.(Particularly the hedgerows for anti-tank teams) 2.You see a cop with a radar gun and try to call down smoke,to mask your position. 3.Anyone in a smaller lighter car is an easy target(It makes my drive home more fun ,anyway) 4.You can't walk in a straight line..you have to zig-zag 5.If you're under stress, you pray for your 'minute'to end so you can plan your next move. Over to you guys...

I've been playing Villers-bocage..(y'know,MY scenario ) I had been mixing it big time with my Tiger,using cover , hunt, and targeting..only to watch in horror as I lined up a Firefly,only to break off aim to fire on a rifle squad...Aagh. M.Wittmann was well aware that the firefly was the bigest threat to him in this engagement. I got tagged by the Firefly as a result. I have noticed other poor AI retargeting throughout this scenario....Some is quite cool , like when smoke obscures what you're after, so you take another target, but others just bring out a cold sweat! Good hunting

OK...Processor,memory,video card,driver versions etc You can get directX 7a from microsoft.com/directx Hold on buddy..help is on it's way

All this talk of Maus on the wish list...I doubt your source which says it saw action...I'd love to have you prove me wrong but as far as I know there was a running prototype-unarmed..and a couple of armed turrets, which never got fitted together. If we're going to look at 'could have been' then I'd like a division equipped with panther II,E100 and E75. they sure had some potential.
