  1. Yeah it would be nice but this scenario is infantry only and no vehicles in the battle so there is no 50 cal to suppress the building which is why I am saying it was difficult to take out the building.
  2. Well all good if you have armour or 50 cal to use but my little ww2 infantry only have 30 cal and tiny bazaooka that did not much work to the building, I'm pretty sure IRL it would not have such small impact to a buildings exterior but in combat mission it had little effect in my scenario. Yes, I did try to use smoke to cover the building but for some reason they were still able to see through it. I don't know if that was because they were only 60mm mortar rounds and the elevation from the upper floor meant they could look down and see the helmets from my infantry. Even when I tried to rush squads close their MG42 and MP40 cut my men down. I have never had issues with clearing buildings this scenario was one of the first time I found a building with one squad in it that could mow down infantry without a care from suppression or multi angle fire.
  3. Honestly I tried to use two 30 cals at a distance to pin the infantry inside and they might as well have been not getting shot at they didn't care one bit. It might have raised their suppression a by one or two bars but nothing amazing to keep their hands down long enough. I had no issues getting up close to the building I could easily get 100m out before they fired upon my infantry. I'm pretty sure they are set to fire on a cover arc so they don't open fire at long distance. I tried with a platoon + 2 mg to try suppress the squad but they would win the direct firefight with ease. Again it comes down to suppression element and I think if you were getting shot at from a platoon + 2x mg + bazooka you would know about it. I know the bazooka can't really show accurate damage like it would to the building IRL but that must have a better effectiveness on infantry targets. Usually against brick building a bazooka is a great tool but this stone one in particular was very resistant to any fire I put on it. Like I said I usually don't have too much issue with infantry in buildings but this one was particually difficult to budge even with a mass of small arms fire power.
  4. So I had my own issue with this on the CMFI scenario The Battle for Borgo Cascino. This stone/concrete block building with a squad on the 2nd floor. Now usually infantry in buildings is not a problem if you have something decent to hit them with, however this map is infantry only with only a few bazooka, 60mm mortars and two 30 cal MG. I have took a few pictures of the building and its location with infantry inside. The squad inside can see at pretty much every angle and can shoot at a distance of 50-100m depending on where it is looking once the enemy get close enough above the hill. The enemy squad is equipped with MG42, few MP40 and rifles. I understand how to suppress a building and make the enemy inside pinned but no matter what tactics I used the enemy were able to withstand an assault from multiple sides while being fired upon. Effectiveness rating - 1 (bad) - 2 (poor) - 3 (balance) - 4 (good) - 5 (excellent) Standard infantry weapons - 1 (bad) - Minimal suppression, no damage to infantry inside, lack of building penetration Bazooka (distance medium) - 1 (bad) - Fired 4-5 rockets into building, no damage to infantry inside 30 cal machine gun (distance far) - 2 (poor) - Minor suppression effect but not enough to pin enemy, no damage to infantry inside, lack of building penetration 30 cal machine gun (distance medium/close) - 3 (balance) - Good suppression, some infantry killed or wounded, can pin enemy squad but able to recover quickly. (Note: Friendly mg team took heavy casualties from enemy squad due to distance) 60mm mortar - 1 (bad) - No suppression, no damage to infantry inside. Even direct hits to the building caused no enemy casualties Smoke + Infantry assault - 1 (bad) - Enemy squad is able to locate and engage friendly infantry (Note: possibly due to the 2nd floor advantage position?) Suffered heavy losses during assault. Multiple directions attempted while suppressive fire is targetting building. Building > Building infantry firefight (distance medium) - 1 (bad) - Minimal suppression, no damage to infantry inside, lack of building penetration on enemy building. (Note: friendly infantry took heavy casualties vs superior building defence) Anyone care to suggest how this situation can be dealt with effectively because I certainly wasn't able to do so without losing a lot of man power? I can't exactly bypass the building either because it is part of the objective I really want!
