JRMC1879 Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Was playng a scenario recently and noticed that marders have a hell of a time getting a decent line of sight from behind bocage. Is it modelled this way deliberately - I was thinking because the fighting compartment is so far to the rear of the vehicle 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kensal Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 I've noticed this in Colossal Crack. I lined up my Marders behind bocage waiting for British armour to enter the fields in front of them, only to find that they can't engage. Marders not a very effective unit for that battle 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwolf Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Is it any better for StuGs? Why do you single out Marders? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DasMorbo Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 @ Redwolf: As JMRC said, the gun mount is in the back of the vehicle. So are the optics. Just imagine you are the gunner and your optics are in front of the Bocage instead of within. StuGs on the other hand have them located in the middle of the vehicle. So it is not too much of a problem. @ kensal: Had the same problem - not in 'Colossal Crack', though. Key hole positions were my answer. My Marders got screwed but did some damage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRMC1879 Posted March 17, 2013 Author Share Posted March 17, 2013 Is it any better for StuGs? Why do you single out Marders? Yes it is better for stugs and tanks. Noticed the same thing for the Wespe - presumably for the same reason as the marder - wondered whether it was a bug or by design. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sublime Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 to be fair I've had my share of problems with StuG LoS in hedgerows too. not as bad as the infamous marder though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
