What is this cromwell tank I see sometimes in threads here? Was it good? I know it was british but that's it... Did it replace the sherman?

better...

I tried one. Died first shot. Might have been a bit short ranged though. A few hundred meters or so. Like 300 I think. The defense is a line with pak bunkers and hmg bunkers in hull down along a railroad bank 5 meters high. Inbetween the bunkers he had aa guns. I have taken them out. I have also eliminated one hmg bunker. its the ones with the paks that are hard. tried to keyhole one hmg 2 turns bak but he got me. I don't belive in smoke on this one. The bunkers are to many. Damn...

I've made some tests and come to the conclusion that the slow firing guns are useless. The hope is the 57 mm stuff. Now I also ran a test with one bunker vs 4 57 mm guns. The guns lost. Rememver that the bunkers are hull down so hit % is down to about 25% first shot. I have uesing keyholed positions this far to no use. The guns die and I cant go head to head with a bunker with tanks.

I am toying with that idea as in just walking every remaining unit against them. I suspect there will be a bloodbath though. My opponent has nearly a 1:1 bunker/ tank ratio on me...

Is there a way to take out bunkers frontally? They are concrete, cover about 500-1000 meters of open ground in hull down positions are alternating pak loaded and hmg loaded, are in hull down and multiple layers. I have managed to knock out most of the unprotected guns among them. At my diposal I have 3 sextons, one 95 mm churchill, 2 6 pounders, 3 priests, some 25 pounders and.. a lot of armoured cars mostly equiped with hmgs and 3 with 57 mms. There is no realistic way to get to the back of the bunkers and my infantry is green or conscript 6 men motorized squads. In the arty department we have 20 rounds of 188 mms and some 25 pounder VT and ordinary. 3 spotters dead before firing a round. Airplanes shot down or scared off... Any tips? -Edit- I forgot: I am running out of time. This must be done in less than 30 turns...

I actually found this one rather amusing.

Why isn't there a shotgunmachinegun? 120 shotgun cardtridges per minute should be enough to pin everyone your firing at at close ranges out to 40 meters. What is wrong with that idea?

Actually its a panther...

Why isn't this thread locked?

Oh for f**** sake! Get it done allready!

Can't agree with this - the Sherman pretty much out-performed any T34 built at hte same time. It had better layout, better equipment (radio, sights, etc), a gun that was at least as good (75 vs 76, 76 vs 85) for most purposes (the 85 prolly had a better HE round than the 76), and it's armour was at least as good too IIRC - remmber the T34's went with 45-47mm front hull armour for the whole war - significantly less than any mark of Sherman! The Panther was, of course, better than both! </font>

Civilians are allways properly evacuated in good time before any CM scenario is loaded... Part of the engine...

Don't forget the sturmtiger. Can fire one of those at your own men just to watch the carnage..

What was in your oppinion the single most important equipment during the waron any side? Mostly interested in equipment that made a positive difference for the side tat used it. Like the T-34. Cost efficient, strong and fast. This means that a thing like the king tiger don't qualify since it, in my oppinion, did cost to much to manufacture compared to the impact it had on the battlefield.

I don't know... My men just died, didn't see what killed them...

What about terrain mix? I tend to fill every part of my map with something, like filds or such, no open terrain at all. Is that bad? It gives the infantry lots of cover almost everywhere on the map.

Quick question: What makes a map tactically interesting?

What happened to these? I want the mods!
