sand digger Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Here's one showing action from Normandy and Italy, there usually are some trophy ventilated Shermans in these, none this time although we do see an 88 in action in the AT role. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XovHhBCpoPA&feature=related 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenris Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Thanks for sharing. The last shot of the wefers at dusk/night disappearing in the distance was pretty interesting. F 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Great stuff. It really gave me the chills to see those young Hitler Youth chappies smoking cigarettes. Heaven knows how many years that sort of habit can deduct from your life! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockinHarry Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 at 0:52 in the video Interestingly, the german MG42 light machine gunner appears to be able to expend 2 and a half belts (120-130 rounds) in a single prolonged burst, in a very much controlled manner! :eek: Yet remains to be seen in CM, the more for the tripod version which nothing but suck in the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I noticed that too. However, it's a PR scene, so could have been an "elite" shooter, or faked in some way(?). I can't believe that BF's research would have been that wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe that BF's research would have been that wrong. No fake actually, rather a skilled (or strong?) gunner showing for the PR camera guy. :eek: Normally the short, repeated burst method was applied, but could also be the shown gunner blazed away into unseen emptiness, or applies AA fire. Who knows... BF´s research ain´t wrong, but the short burst method applied for the tripod MG42 is for sure. I consider it limitation, for the probable game engines current incapability, to track long bursts in continuous manner. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArgusEye Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 I noticed that too. However, it's a PR scene, so could have been an "elite" shooter, or faked in some way(?). I can't believe that BF's research would have been that wrong.There could be any number of reasons to shoot like that. If you see some light cover you suspect of harbouring enemy, hosing it down from a blind angle will rattle them or better; you don't need to do that with total precision. It may even be suppressive fire, spraying that all over the place may work even better than a set of precise bursts on a certain pinpoint target. But given the steady camera and the relaxed demeanor of the shooter, I suspect running a test belt through a MG that has just been repaired, a bit behind the lines. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
