Guest Pham Posted May 21, 2000 Share Posted May 21, 2000 (some spoilers, beware) 7-A house being set on fire by an artillery strike. 8-A sherman hitting a mine field in the road at full speed, becoming immobilized, but still rolling almost into town due to momentum(where it was promptly killed). 9-Forest fires set by artillery, direct tank fire, or flamethrowers.

Bullethead Posted May 21, 2000 Share Posted May 21, 2000 10. The animations of the death throws of wiped-out grunt units. 11. Rifle grenades being used in near-but-not-quite-close combat. 12. Troops being caught in their own grenade blasts while sharing a foxhole with the enemy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Private Ryan Posted May 21, 2000 Share Posted May 21, 2000 Well guys this is what happened to me- *******Spoiler******* I had a Sherman 75 knock out the panther in the 'weak spot on the front turret' said the detailed armore penetration. Then the sherman suffered a hit by a Panzershreck penetrating the fron hull, but didn't get knocked out, instead suffered one casualty. A second hit did knock the brave sherman out. Another sherman firing at the Panzershreck teams (there were two teams hiding in the trees) after seeing his friend being fried reversed, fired one machinegun at one Panzershreck team and the main gun at the other team. I really do love this game! Happy gaming, Pvt. Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darwin Posted May 21, 2000 Share Posted May 21, 2000 I got to see my infantry firing at enemy infantry while knocking out an enemy tank with faust. Not once during playback did the targetting line go to the sherman but upon close inspection a faust get launched anyway taking out the tank with a side turret penetration.

Supertanker Posted May 22, 2000 Share Posted May 22, 2000 The surviving member of a panzerschreck team fleeing from an angry Sherman into some woods, and when the Sherm fired a 75mm HE to kill him at just the right moment, it looked like the guy ran into a tree and fell backwards, dead or unconscious.

Kurtz Posted May 22, 2000 Share Posted May 22, 2000 A Sherman 75 putting a HE round through the front slit of the german pillbox with the 75 mm gun. Oh, by the way, the Sherman was moving a couple of hundred meters away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webs Posted May 22, 2000 Share Posted May 22, 2000 I had the 75mm pillbox gun shoot a Sherman, miss short as the Sherman reversed behind a crest, yet have what I can only assume to be the shrapnel from the miss immobilize the tank behind the crest. I swear that had to happen. I replayed it many times. Damnedest thing I've seen. That immobile Sherman was out of LOS of every part of my force on the north side of Hill 216 for the whole scenario yet was otherwise perfectly operational. ------------------ Laurie Nyveen a.k.a.

Flix Posted May 22, 2000 Share Posted May 22, 2000 Now this is something that I am sure doesn't mean much to others, but all of the weapons HAVE A RECOIL!!!! I've never seen that before!!

goodwood Posted May 22, 2000 Share Posted May 22, 2000 What got me pumping with excitement was watching a US squad out running a traversing panther turrent. The Inf sqd won by a short half head. ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny to watch. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Yeah I had that happen too. My StuG against the Sherman. 14. But on another note, a hillful of dead American bodies in VoT where I snuck 2 1/2 platoons of German infantry along the extreme left flank and came up behind the American infantry in the woods. 15. But then again on a similar note, a hillful of dead German bodies on the woodsy crest in CE where two platoons of American infantry chopped up the last remaining platoons of Volkgrenediers. 16. Hand grenade chucking like you wouldn't believe! 17. Oh, best one yet. The Germans in CE, calling down their 81mm mortars on their own hill due to #15 above. (Actually, most shells fell on top of their own troops.) [This message has been edited by Ol' Blood & Guts (edited 05-21-2000).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anvil Posted May 22, 2000 Share Posted May 22, 2000 How about standing behind a tank,, looking into the turret and the main body,, seeint the tank commander's lower body,, a upper turret hit,, and he dives into the tank while it rocks and rolls from concussion,, a lower turret hit, and the tank is taken out,, debree flying all around INSIDE the tank,, then billows of smoke and flame all around me!!

Bratch Posted May 22, 2000 Share Posted May 22, 2000 I watched a squad of German Infantry "execute" the remainder of a US squad that had surrendered. It happened very quickly but the unit had clearly surrendered. They were mowed down by an adjacent German unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juju Posted May 22, 2000 Share Posted May 22, 2000 I watched Surrendered US units being shot by German Units. I watched surrendered US units being slaughtered needlessly because their nearby platoon HQ refused to surrender and carried on fighting (they got caught in the crossfire). I watched the US AI player lure me into two buildings and then had my assaulting troops fried Big Time by their flamethrowers (that one was awesome). I watched my FO's expanding their LOS by destroying buildings along the way.I saw (and heard) immersion like I've never seen before in a computer game.

Jager 7 Posted May 22, 2000 Share Posted May 22, 2000 I saw a panzerschrect fire from the second story of the church in CE and start the building on fire with the backblast of the second shot. A HQ and two other german squads fighing on the first floor were forced to bail out and seek cover elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angus Posted May 22, 2000 Share Posted May 22, 2000 Once one of my Stug's was fired upon by a anti tank team in CE, and the explosion from the hit caused a forest fire. Angus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seanachai Posted May 22, 2000 Share Posted May 22, 2000 I played a game of VoT (SPOILER?) where my Panther had whacked the last of the Shermans, then charged down into Plomville where a whopping infantry slug-out was taking place. My few Germans were in the houses (or in the rubble of them), with squads and heavy weapons trying to suppress them while multiple squads charged the buildings. The Panther rolled into town and started shooting everyone up, and the Allied FOs dropped so much smoke that the entire area, from the slopes of the German hill to the road T, the whole village, and the upper slopes of hill 198 where one dense mass of smoke for several turns, with more coming all the time. I had to turn smoke off with the hotkeys just to try and issue orders (what I could, as no one could see or do anything!). ------------------ After witnessing exceptional bravery from his Celtic mercenaries, Alexander the Great called them to him and asked if there was anything they feared. They told him nothing, except that the sky might fall on their heads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
