looks like the paper model goes with the armour that it really had, but it sure looks good

Especially if you split squads to minimse casualties.

Junk2drive, that really depends on the aircrafts weaponry. the 20mm and above are devestating to tanks as i found to my horror in a wide open desert map. I had no AA assets and this p47 i think. Wasted my attack before it began. As you can tell i lost before contact all armour firing up after 1 attack PIV and PIII. Ghastly. In another QB i had a H111 i think dropped 95-5LBS onto a enemy postion, WOW, think i watched it 20 times, what a sight , didn`t hit alot after i spoke to oppent but created a rather large dust cloud which i advanced under. It aimed at a concrete pillbox AT, multiple hits but to no avail, but my men were all over it by the time dust went down. like a really expensive smoke screen

It represents close assault, ie one of your men unseen through the 3 man squads will move up to the tank and place it wherever a soldier may place it. The turret, the tracks even the barrel of the main weapon, I wouldnt do this as the co-axle mg faces along it, hehe and could be a nasty suicide, but hey im not a ai bad ass like some of these hero`s.

1 or 2 88`s wouldnt scare me or rune OTOH, a battery would, not in cmak. Plus if that gun was positioned for the anti-tank role, why would it pointless fire a few shots and reveal itself? Especially in cmak when u get 81mm landing all over you 1 minute later.

I like being the top dog. But ill have to agree. Maybe we can have a battle sometime JaconC, to see if your play is as good as your talk. Regards Mr Spears

MG`s are to keep pinned alreay broken squads and route them. This is the greatest killer. Have you ever checked casualties moving under fire from a mg 3-400m off with an ok LOS. Or status?? You just reveal early that your mg is there and wants some mortars! Where as if your killing without losing alot your winning. A dead mg six men??? Got how many moving up??? 3-4 pinned a squad ?? But if you fire at that broken squad 2-300m away you will notice the difference in the killing ability. Hence the words wait till you can see the whites of there eyes. So you dont miss. Anything to big gets brocken up with big arty. As for exposing guns ???

You didnt understand me. Your first contact, against me anyway die`s. Simple really it die`s, I flee not too far setup another one or pass another one on the way to set up another ambush. All the way back down to MLR. So if you send a full squad in it dies. 2 squads left plus Hq fire at my men assaulting back to where they came from not effectivly because of the way i place them. Your next squad runs into another squad just left/right and slightly back of the first one. Die`s that platoon is no longer effective if its lost most memebers and is usless. Do you continue the same ??? Or did you only lose one squad because you split them and have two squads and a hq left? Some sort of force, not much , but more than what you would of had. Rally time means NOTHING if there dead.

Yeah just drove her right upto the trench and sat there same height. On both sides of the map and they both hammered platoons. 60-80m they fired.

In a fight earlier i ordered a bomber it dropped 90-5LBS of bombs onto a enemy position ... wow ....... i belive it was a H111 of some sort .... in the same game my panzer III`s obliterated trenches with canister from 60-80m again i was amazed and so was my opponent (seanzino) to see how devestating this is. One shot wiped out a entire vickers crew. Then finished the platoon with twoshots of canister, which also flew over the trench and hit an unseen portee to my amazment 31 casualties and a portee with 3 shots of canister.

Hmmm i think thats bad advice other means. Against a good player your recon wont get out alive let alone get time to rally .... split squads is essential to save men from ambushes loss 5-6 or even a lmg rather than a whole squad. 2nd green tanks?? vets are needed if you want them to spot thing`s and then perphaps kill them?? green cant hit anything and will die fast. 3rd ....... read JasonC`s advice go do a seach under his name

what a good read

Hetzers hetzers hetzers

What about the marder as a tank hunter?? I find these rarly miss a shot if vet`s. I always like a mobile defence if possible. 105`s arty spotters make mince of trenches and i see then airburst even when no trees`!!!!!! and guns dont last long at all. Ok if you have many guns but if you loose the bigger stuff!!

test it

did a search thanks

Make sure men dont hop off when they come under fire straight into the wire i thought it was a cunning tactic till a unseen mg42 opened up on three shermans carrying most of a platoon, may i add most of that platoon never came home. Although i used smoke and everything i could as well, i dont like losing men, the horrors of war

I just finished a game in the desert dawn open map where i was attacking. I managed to get a sniper onto a hill overlooking the enemy positions he used all his ammo so i used his as eyes and ears. I cleared a enemy trenchline and guns on the first small hills (there where 2 set of hills with reverse slopes) When my tanks carried on over the other small hill a enemy gun opened up and killed 2 of my last 4 tanks. I was in shock as this gun was in a trench in the open in front of my sniper 150m away. Yet my sniper never saw the trench. The gun fair enough, but the trench............. it made me angry to find out my ears are blind and a sniper isnt worth alot apart from tc killing. Not a hapy bunny as this proved to be my downfall. Question. Why didnt my sniper see trench he was overlooking, did he take a porn mag with him?????? because he is what im thinking he is, if hes doing what i think he is doing!!!! tosser anything else have better eyes than a sniper!?!?!?!?!!??! HELP! my sniper is blind!!! he was vet pure visability (clear blue) when gun appeared.

Exactly what it says im intrested in learning and this boy seems to know alot apparently can you point me in the right direction please. Thanks in advance. Jon

About that Stug... he was downhill from you facing uphill that 20degrees goes out the window as the firing angle changes. As i noticed with the m10, If he is uphill and hulldown from your AFV he has a 45 degree slope on his armour so at that angle everything that is hitting glances off. Wish i never posted that (try it)

Yes Wittman was a great tank commander, the reason being the little thing called a tiger made him great. Although he had panzers to start with. Now put the same man in a sherman and what have we got then?? One thing being a good commander the other thing is if they cant kill you your going to be i think?

So busy reading all them AAR`s I forgot to say thanks soo .. Thanks. Spears

Thanks i read the AAR`s on most of ROW IV, they sound fun

how do i join in the ROW tornys?
