GreenAsJade Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 So... my Sherm spotted a Stu, and before it pancied, it got off a few shots that caused the Stu to abandon. The Sherm knows that the Stu abandoned, because it could see and identify the crew. And yet it proceeded to pop smoke and reverse out of there. I pushed it forwards (to take on inf targets) and lo and behold it spotted the abandoned Stu, and paniced again. Dang! GaJ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Williams Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Sorry, GaJ, the mere sight of me causes panic in most normal men. ;-) Actually, I am still a bit confused why that crew abandoned a perfectly functional StuG. Nothing is firing on it that could possibly cause it harm, yet the remaining crew have paniced and fled almost off the map. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenAsJade Posted April 5, 2012 Author Share Posted April 5, 2012 I guess it was momentarily under fire from both the Stuart and the Sherm, it took a few hits in quick succession. Maybe a penetration also killed a crew member? Anyhow, crewed or not it's totally holding that flank for you... GaJ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sburke Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 I think you need to have a talk with that tank crew. I had a little Stuart take out a PzIV and a StuG last night on it's own. Darn thing had to put numerous rounds into both before they were finished off, but it never hesitated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nik mond Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 This is similar to an exagerated response I saw from an airborne squad while walking past an abandoned Kubelwagen. Suddenly the satchel charges and mills bombs go flying. Troops opening up in full auto point blank. The K-wagen a smoldering heap by now, and the troops carry merrily along. You don't think we might need those satchel charges somewhere else eh sarge? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Rationale 836/b-c5: CMBN depicts troops in highly stressful situations and they do have to blow off steam in some way occasionally. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn that must have been funny to watch...until you needed all those explosives. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwolf Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 The Sherm knows that the Stu abandoned, because it could see and identify the crew. And yet it proceeded to pop smoke and reverse out of there. I think the problem here is one of unit memory. After a (short) while CM units (all versions) forget everything that they had known just a couple minutes ago. So for this tank the process of identifying what state this StuG is in starts from scratch, with the same chance to end up misidentifying it as alive as any random other unit has. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 I actually think that paranoia for tankers or any troops in wartime would be quite common. So, quite realistic that they would see Tigers and ghost tanks everywhere, and maybe that shadow moved! So, let's get outta here or blast the hell out of it... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but not the one they just brewed up and saw the crew running for the hills. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
