Haha, just trying to be in character my friend Mind you, it's a well documented tactic by both Allied and Axis tankers to bury infantry in their foxholes by driving onto the fortifications and then pivoting on a track to essentially cover the foxhole or trench with the dirt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Captain Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 (edited) The re-worked Road to Nijmegan, mission 2. Really enjoying this so far. "The object of war isn't to die for your country, it's to make the other poor dumb bastard die for his." Finally, just had to share... My paratroopers are having that kind of day. Calling my 81mm arty support down on a line of hedgerows about 650m away, this German AFV takes a lucky round right through the top armor...

Most surprisingly, the driver made it out and got away! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quakerparrot67 Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 did it just drop into the open turret top? damn... that's luck! and, as always, great pics. cheers, rob 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, it sure did. Another round hit about 5m meters behind first, causing him to actually close the top hatch, and then this round dropped right through the soft armor top. I think it actually detonated on impact but it does say it penetrated. It looked like the bomb did actually go through the top armor and explode all at once. Incredibly lucky! Spoilers if you don't want the info for The Road to Nijmegen, but yeah, my guys had a good showing this day... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of luck, I was just playing Meijel Mayhem by PBEM and had decided to lay down some suppression from several of my mud-immobilised Panthers. One of these was firing at the farm buildings in the middle of the map. Without ever spotting it, one of the rounds passed straight through a farm building and KO'd my opponent's last remaining Sherman (a 76mm version at that) which he was hoping to ambush me with. Made me wonder, as I assume the Panther was firing HE at the buildings, but it was enough to one-shot the Sherman anyway. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
