yea,got my pak 40 smashed in this way in *busting the bocage*
opened up on infantry at 600m which crossed into its *target arc*
also
shreck teams may require a look at
in the same scenario,the shreck team gave away its position,whilst i was moving it into position for a shot on a sherman,by,the 2nd member of said team,opens fire on the sherman with his rifle,alerting the tank crew and getting themselves killed,BEFORE the shreck fires a shot,the fool
another thing i had happen in the same scenario
my remaining pak40,killed a sherman at 300m,one shot all good
his 2nd attempt on another two shermans a bit later,at 100m,the tanks appeared to take multiple hits in the side turret with no apparent effects.
the tanks were in the tree line very close to my trenches,and i just couldnt knock them out
ok i said,must be hitting the tree trunks everytime it fires,and wasted alot of ammo on these targets until they moved out of LOS
so
i move two seperate shreck teams to deal with them,
and team one does the above,and the 2nd team nails the sherman in the side at 30m with no effect,expending all its ammo,with no noticable result
a few rifle platoons unload their antitank assets on the same targets,through the following turns at 20 -30m,and score what look like good hits, but these two shermans,right in close to my trenches,just cant be killed.
i had around 5 infantry assets within 50m or less of these tanks,the tanks basically charged my trench line and then sat there.while my troops expended all there ammo on them,and then became helpless against the shermans.
on the other side of town,i had a grenadier platoon moving up through the bocage and fire a faust at a sherman at around 200m while they were under a move command
granted i didnt have their HQ close by,so i can accept they were green or just trigger happy.
salute
