a sherman or a M10 won`t do much diff. with a high velocity 75mm shell.
But a open top infantry vehicule is much more vulnerable than close top 105 sherman to small arm fire.
Also M10 should have a higher ROF than sherm. 76. So more chances to ambush and succeding killing that panther...
So a 105 sherman + a M10 sounds better to me
Priest were use in italy as infantry vehicule 1st. With great result!

Got my TodaY.. SO Now I can start reading the manual!

I just played Hurra Battle. I'm Trying that Montebourg road campaing at Iron Level and I failed once. I'm getting murdered but hold the win so far on my 2nd attempt. So being a real newb(played CM Overlord back then a bit but not much), I tought it would ease up my confidence with my tactician skill playing Basic training.
I ended up with a massive victory lol
I need to sa my 2 Pumas saved the day 1st when they defended the village with limited infantry ressources and then hold the ford crossing until my panthers came up in the rigth place
Then it was almost a walk in the park.
I lost a few stugs to recon element that were deep on my side, but finaly overcome them and went to the other ford.
I got heavely pounded but my orders were strick stick hiden and spread in front / flank of town to avoid the massive bombardement. Having not more than 1 team not hidden.
I'll get some of my Iron Campaing it's quite less better

+1 for Infantry units to be able to move VERY SLOWLY through barbed wire. This would simulate them using wire cutters and "Buddy-help" methods to push through the obstacles.
I think that would be nice.. I was quite surprise too
-
For the moment I just run through it... Losing about 10-15% of my soliders doing so. But Usually it's a hard strike to the ennemy as my platoons are in solid position to flank the main force.
But I saw pionner Mark mInes stuff
No idea how to use it or something.
Also can I use a suicide grunt pack to run through a certain path and make all the other go through it?

This.
Marders and similar are best employed as recoilless or early ATGMs, ie from the flanks in positions shielded from the frontline (side) by terrain.
That`s how I use all TD agaisn`t any armored vehicule...and I would say the same goes for all american armor lol.
German Med. and Heavies can move head on agaisn't ennemy armored vehicule if they are far enough (I would say further than 650-750m(76mm HVAP)) If it`s sherm. 75 facing the front I would say 500m
As far as I can say AT guns for the moment are pretty accurate for me
-
I'm sure it was use in late 1944 1945 by Commonwealth troops.
Not too sure about Normandy/italy and US forces
But I think those woule be rear echelon units, not actual assault troops manning them
-
i'll try that for sure
-
that happened to me too
having half of the mortar being there

On Le hameau, I got on obj. but got a Tie again!! Twice on obj.
I always get the 2 first points but I always got friendly fire kills that is a Tie.
Now I just restarted the campaing. Had that damn barb wire with no bangalore had to turn around and that inflicted me some good casualties. Again had too much FF... lol I wonder how I do that.
Since I'm a newb and I play at Iron I think I do ok... But I need learn a bit more strategy... I'm waiting for the paper manuel to get in so I can do the tutorial campaing
While I'm learning it the hard way. I'm a die hard CC player so I got a lot of tactics Dialed in. Keeping it brit tactics by leading usually 2 compagny front with a leapfrog on the 3rd one in the back. On such map with support weapon covering from the flank. This way I keep an agressive Firepower on my obj. and try to follow my barrage and smoke. I'm having difficulty having the right timing.
On this ecqueville I plan on Going 2 comp. by the fields and 1 comp. by the sunken road again. with a wide move around. Having effective firepower, I think i'll manage to get in town again. Now I need to take care of that damn 75mm... I spread my forces a bit more this way But I feel that my 2 comp. leapfroging in the fields will overcome any effective firepower by the flanks.
If I get it right there is no way to ressuply mortars between the battles?
-
Damn I got stopped in front of Ecqhonoville, Fox compagny I lost 2 tanks and more than 30% of My troop due to this damn AT gun... I keep my 105 but always got wrong firemissiong that were falling short.
I manage to turn around the town and get in town with my hook force through the fields. But it seems that I didn't have enough time and got a tie...
Now I'm going with E compagny through the surrounding towns... I'm at le Hameau right now...
My question is: Will I have the chance to renew the attack on eqcoville? or I'll follow E compagny now?
-
I think so
-
Where is the game!
it`s damn awsome!!
I got 1 total victory(bocage)
and a no winner on the german attack map as german...
I tried to flank the town, and american tanks got my attacking inf. in the open.
I manage to panzershrek a tank tho
in ambush. But the damn crew routed my 3 inf. unit around... -

It was the rash actions of Joachim Peiper that brought out this notion of driving through the enemy in a HT.
" Peiper developed a tactic of attacking enemy-held villages by night from all sides by advancing in his armored half-tracks at full speed, while firing at every building. This tactic often set the building's straw roofs on fire and contributed to panic among enemy troops. "
But this was more about a surprise attack than the armour of the Sdkfz251
In short, Halftracks are Battle Buses, hop off at the nearest stop.
12ss and I think 1ss too did that agaisn`t the canadians, and it didn`t give good result at all...
I think hts can be good for long range suppressive fire agaisn`t ennemy position. Otherwise it is not suited for combat. German stummel was the final product of this kind of tactic and there report of the AAA half tracks beeing used as well.

No persistent map damage right now, but I believe this on the list.
I'm waiting for this impatiently

Close Combat 2 in 1997.
Yes, I was 9 back then.
I was 10!:cool:

I've read Siegfried lines was mostly a hastly new defensive line since most of it's heavy weapons had been transfered to the Antlantik Wall. But it was a defensive line no doubt...Just not a continious defensive line. In holland, they used also the 1930s defensive positions.

it's not friday here it's 8:40 3:20 left

I'm looking for that 1st Module with 21st army group, then:

on June 7th Putot was attacked by a single infantry battalion of 12th SS. .
I think he means Bretteville-Norrey-Putot
German were def. better conducted on the front than there allied counter part in june... as the war advance Western allied gained experience. 12 SS did some major mistake also on june 7th even if they had experienced leaders but they were still green troop overall and I think if you analyse the battle vs the canadian you can see some noob mistake from them too. (I can't tell wich one right now I forgot)
I say german had better material for the most part, more experience leader in June-July. But at the end W allied had more material and man and finally gained there experience through hell
TEST: Blowing Tank-sized Hole in Bocage
in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy
