Ok, lets go!

Weight distribution was a big problem for the Jagdpanzer IV and even more so for the Jpz IV/70 with this nice 75L70 gun.If my book is right, they were very "frontlastig" which means that far too much weight was concentrated in the front because of their guns, so they had a hard time maneuvering in difficult terrain and bogged down more easily than other tanks.

I played chance encounter the x-th time in a row now and I can't say that those Shermans don't hit anything. I lost all my stugs in my last 3 or 4 battles, all of them to the Shermans, zooks didn't hit or bounced off. The fire from the Shermans was quite accurate even at long ranges and the 2nd or 3rd shot took a stug out most of the time. The Stug III's always were one of my favourite units in SP, because they look cool, hit hard and are reasonably armored but at the moment my attitude is changing a bit. But well, perhaps it's just bad luck or stupidity on my part..

Simple question: get assault guns more "gun damaged" results by enemy fire than vehicles with turrets? I lost 6 Stugs in my last 3 "chance encounter"s and 5(!)of them got their gun damaged. In 4 or 5 games as US only one Sherman had a gun damaged result. (mostly they just explode thank you) ------------------ <"let's nuke the site from orbit!">

I invite all of you to Germany to share the experience of our telephone costs over here. Since reading the threads in this forum my monthly telephone bill went up from ~120 to ~270+ DM. Thanxalot BTS! I agree the money was well spent btw. *lol*
