I don't use them much - can you tell me if the units targeting the marker will return fire on enemies that are close to, but not on the marker? Here is my situation. I just placed 2 regular Sherman 5s behind some trees with LOS to a road 50m away. The tree line and my tank facing is perpendicular to the road, so the tanks should be able to pop any vehicles at 90 deg. I KNOW there is a Tiger coming, but due to a slight error in my placement he might be able to stop just short of my ambush point (where my bearing to him will be about 65 deg. So I've placed an ambush marker right at the 90 deg point, but if the Tiger crew is sharp they COULD stop short of it and nail me. In that case I doubt they will miss at that range, but will my crew be smart enough to know that the turret is turning towards them and shoot regardless of the fact the Tiger is not yet on the marker. Damn, I think I know the answer to this! Trout

Howdy, I need some tips on fighting Tigers with Sherm 5s, Fireflies and Stuarts. Also, is it worth targeting them with 25pnd barrages? I have lots of arty and I'm wondering if they would blow a track or at least get them to button up. And... has anyone taken out a Tiger with a rear shot from a Daimler? thanks Trout
