Oops, dont think the link worked. Try again.

Here is a shot of a SU-122 that took a few hits...lol. Funny thing is it was still operational, but not for long... Hope image comes out. Mike

thanks guys. Mike

Is there a way to post screenshots, or do you have to have some outside album to route the pictures here. Thanks for any help. Mike

I totally agree with what you guys are saying. I recently had 2 tigers engaging an Archer, and when I got back to them(was tied up with other orders)they were still firing HE rounds from previous orders(engaging soft targets)? Before I could change them to firing AP, they had finally knocked out the Archer with side hits...Kinda weird, I would have thought they would have switched rounds, it was Wittman and the other guy had High ratings also...lol. Oh well, it still turned out good, but I guess they were damn lucky. Mike

Had a neat incident where my tiger got off a shot, but right before the round hit, the tank dissapeared(LOS). But, the round still hit! Big black puff of smoke, and next screen was a dead T-34. I got the screens, but dont know how to post. KInda cool Mike

Thanks alot, it worked! Now I just need to master the art of capturing good screenshots...lol. Mike

Thanks Miko for the great reply. I think I get what you are trying to say, and it makes sense. so, will get the skills up and keep trying Mike

Yes, I understand all this, but does the aiming really work? If it goes back to what Cincinatvs said. I guess I need to increase the scout and gunnery values, of which I have. I guess I will have to wait and see on this next mission. Thanks all for the replies so far. Mike

What round do you think works the best? APCR, HEAT... Seems you dont get many of those, but which do you prefer? Mike

Great reply Miko. I think you hit the nail on the head... Mike

Great Idea! Count me in... Mike

Does this feature really work? I have found that the randomness of which firing/hitting of the target, it seems that it doesnt matter if you aim or use the default. Also, it seems that the armor penetration values are bit off... There has been times when it was very hard just to knock out a T-70, let alone a T-34. And this is with a Tiger. The distance wasnt that far, I dont know. Hate to ramble, but it seems this game is similar to rest, just no health bar...lol. Maybe to make it more exciting I guess. Anyone? Mike

So, I guess in the end, we did get a pre-release bonus...lol. Mike

What program opens up the screenshots? I have tried and cant get them to open. It shows a tga file in the screenshot folder. Windows wont open it and no program I have will do the trick. Any ideas? Mike

This was a hard one, it was my first defeat... Just couldnt hit crap with my tanks and they were gone fast. Oh well, guess you got to lose some once in awhile...lol. Mike

Thanks! Mike

Thanks alot for the quick reply. I hope they fix this, because it is a really usefull tool. Guess I will just have to keep doing what I've been doing. Mike

How do you toggle back out of 1st person view once you have hit the enter button? I cant seem to find an easier way back out of this view. They should have just had it where you hit it again and are taken back to regular view... I find myself having to hit a hotkey to another unit then go back to the unit I had entered into 1st person view. Anyone? Mike

Yah, its probably that the gun cant depress enough to engage. Mike

Except when there yours....lol, just joking. I have had pretty good luck with mine, and the ones I have captured. Mike

there will be a small artillery icon on the top right of the battle screen when it is available. Just click on it, then you will get a icon on the end of your mouse cursor. Simply place that on the area of the battlefield that you want to bomb. Then click it with the mouse, and then the rounds will come. But, beware... the artillery is not very effective in this game! Even if you have infantry spotting the area. So, dont really count on it too much to help you...lol. Mike

Amen!, It seems no one can get this right! MIke

So, I wonder if its usefull to even capture stuff. If it helps with points or getting better reinforcements, I would gladly put regular soldiers on capture stuff. But, if it does nothing but lose men, then forget it... Mike
