Ken, not so much the hull as the gun. It really look akward. Once, twice, thrice, would have been acceptable, but it really was more than that.

The situation isn't as easy to duplicate as I expected. But I remember settering the target arc for the confused Panther. Even that didn't help. It concentrated for a moment on the Sherman in the target arc, missed and began to swing it's gun around again.

Precisely what happened with my Panther. And completly unnecessary too, since the Sherman was only 250 metres away and an easy kill. I must admit I'm also rather worried about the penetration of the front of the Panther, although that can perhaps be accepted at that range.

Did the Germans really use smokeless powder? Does it even exist?

I'm sorry to say I haven't got a save. I was too shocked to think of that unfortunately. Your explanation sounds indeed plausible, sburke, but it remains a serious issue. I don't expect the game to be perfect, well, not yet, but this is definitely something that needs fixing. I could try to simulate the same situation again. I'm pretty sure it will happen again.

I wouldn't be so worried if they had only made a confused impression. At 12 o'clock there was a Sherman and another one (probably at 400 metres) at 11 o'clock. The one at 12 o'clock was the most clear and present danger and should have had priority for the commander and gunner. Instead, the gun really began to move from target to target, without firing a shot, it looked very peculiar. Til then the optics nor the gun of the Panther were damaged. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't mind in case the Panther did panic, but moving vehicle and gun from target to target, at least a dozen times, simply can't be explained. I'm more than willing to give it the benefit of the doubt, since I love this game, but this just ain't right. They could have reversed, if they really didn't know what to do anymore.

It happened in one of the battles of Der Letzte Hoffnung-campaign. One of my Panthers came under fire of a Sherman 250 metres or so up the road. Instead of returning fire the Panther did swing it's gun around, without returning fire. The inevitable happened after six or seven hits and my Panther was taken out. It looks like a bug. It sure made a very strange impression.

Looking forward to it!

It is on the bottom of the page. Easy to overlook, but it is there allright.

For God's sake, man. Doesn't cost you anything and you have access to the best mod site available. Don't forget to donate to the site from time to time, people.

It is posted at GaJ's great mod site. And the first scenario looks superb.

Still not dl-able? Patience is a virtue, I know, but...;-)

Finally another German campaign! Great work, Herr Feldmarschall!

Very nice. Great work, Romm.

Really impressive.

I love Panthers and I adore this beauty!

Fabulous! Absolutely great.

Thanks for the tip, Hs. Missed that one.

Get off the forums and do what needs to be done to release it!

Good question.

Loaded allright with me. Pretty fast too. Doesn't help RockinHarry, but just would like to mention it.

Mikey, where exactly can that mod be found? My searching skills aren't very impressive, I'm afraid.

Absolutely. A good briefing or AAR is half the fun. I remember reading it three times before I started the battle.

Personally I think Operation Storm 333 is the best scenario ever made for CMA. And it ain't as easy as it looks.

Thank God.
