[stugs in the banner above]

Just out of curiousity, are those stugs in the above advertising banner inverted - it appears to me that the commander's cupola and the machine gun shield are around the wrong way. Perhaps I'm wrong and Tamiya sold me a defect, and apologies if someone else has already noted this. Of course if they are in fact inverted, I'm sure this is a one off and in no way indicative of the next quality installment of CM I am anticipating from battlefront.

[Retreating Monster Tanks revealed (monster pictures)]

Looking at the screenshots that redwolf posted, it looks like the Pz IV is in a better position, in that he is sited in or around trees whilst the SU-122 is cresting a higher hill and is therefore silhoetted against the sky, making for an easier shot for the Pz IV. I don't know whether the AI factors this in, making vehicles realize that they are clearly visible against the skyline and therefore pulls them back. Just an observation.

From your picture it appears that all your tanks are Pz IVDs. Don't take Pz IVD's - with that short 75mm gun they were used more in an infantry support role. If you're going to play early war German, and you know you're going to be facing T-34s and KV's, you are far better off going with Stugs and Pz III's; their anti tank capabilities are far better than the Pz IVD's.
