Cool!

Could you explain this a bit more for me Artkin? Not sure I get what you did to allow this gunner to move around the spots like that.

I just bought RT and presently playing Baranovici. Spotting a panther (medium tank on iron) 2180 metres and 1980 metres. Not even sure if they can penetrate as yet at that distance? I am hull down and not been spotted.

The begging question for me is: If Hull Down movement is near pointless what would you replace it with? I am certainly willing to be edified here but off the top I would like to see a Slow Hunt. I use Slow but I wish it had a hunt kicker so that it would stop when having spotted something. I have never seen it stop and shoot but always rolls to command point while shooting.

And here I thought robots can't complain! Perhaps Mr. Computer threatened to start a union?

Berm Drills! Thank you CptMillr for putting a name to something I thought I had invented for myself while playing CM1. I always felt guilty about being 'gamey' for it but now I see I am not. Of course it works a bit differnetly in the game in that the hunt command will make a shooting war start and lose the reverse. It works really well in pairs. Losing a tank is one thing but not killing the thing that needs killing at the same time is so much worse! As usual Drifterman a very well reasoned response.

The obvious: China. But what scenario?

I've seen my men rearrange themselves once the fighting starts. One on the left flank crawled right across 3 men to find better cover on the right flank. I was impressed with that!

This is for Meeting Engagements only. My thinking is you don't know the terrain so how can you plan TRPs without coordinates? You don't bomb towns because you don't want to kill town-folk. Both are 'realistic' considerations. Send in an FO at the start of the game. Having said that Hard Cat Rules works for me.

WOuldn't a simpler rule be just to say no TRPs on MEs?

Tell me about it!

Are we sure this is the result of zeroing? I would be curious if the non-firing tank had an Armour Target Arc on that spot if this would improve its' hit ratio?

Marvellous! Of course, more Q's arise. Like, does it up an open-top by 50%?

I was thinking by the tank. There was a discussion on this somewhere about how much better the results were when a tank had that sort of backup. I've tried it and so far much better results but how would it compare to an open-top?

I wonder how a tank with infantry also spotting compares to an M10 et al? I would think they start matching up?
