Nathman Posted November 3, 2000 Share Posted November 3, 2000 Last night one of my zooks knocked out a stug III at 183 meters - unbelievable. I had to replay the turn several times just to figure out where the shot came from. It made me wonder what the record is for a zook kill. Can anyone beat 183?

Snake Eyes Posted November 4, 2000 Share Posted November 4, 2000 I don't have a 'zook stat, but I've seen a PIAT take out a StuG III at 193m. I've also seen a panzerschrek KO a M8 GMC from 205m. ------------------ It is easy to be brave from a safe distance. -Aesop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herr Oberst Posted November 4, 2000 Share Posted November 4, 2000 I had a schrek take out one of Meeks' Shermans, that would put it at several thousand miles, since I'm an East Coaster, and he's a West Coaster... ------------------ To the last I grapple with thee; from hell's heart I stab at thee; for hate's sake I spit my last breath at thee...

Juardis Posted November 4, 2000 Share Posted November 4, 2000 Well, I can't beat that, but I did take out a StuH42 from 163m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamstersss Posted November 4, 2000 Share Posted November 4, 2000 It was the time zones more than anything, my boys weren't even awake yet. I had 161m and 156m kills in a game against Freyland with some 'zooks, but nothing longer. ------------------ I've got far more annoying things than that up my sleeve. -Meeks You must wear awfully loose shirts to fit an oompah band up your sleeve. -Chrisl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Heidman Posted November 4, 2000 Share Posted November 4, 2000 In the other direction, I had a zook team trying to kill a Germy HT. First shot was at 150m. last shot was at 80m, closest shot was at 40m. Total rounds fired: 7 # of rounds hit: 0 Almost ammusing watching this HT drive almost right up to my guy, and then pass him, and drive away, all while he futilly tries to hit the thing...

Croda Posted November 4, 2000 Share Posted November 4, 2000 I had a zook kill a HT crew at about 3 meters. But that's not what we're talking about and no one really cares all that much either. It's time to go home. This is your brain on CM. Any questions? ------------------ "Nuts!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoker1 Posted November 4, 2000 Share Posted November 4, 2000 My zook record: 178 meter first shot kill of Puma. Schreck record: 206 meter third shot kill of Churchhill Smoker out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Germanboy Posted November 4, 2000 Share Posted November 4, 2000 Green zook team, first shot, kill of MK IV at 163m.

Stephen Smith Posted November 4, 2000 Share Posted November 4, 2000 I mentioned this in an earlier post-thinking it may represent a flaw/bug. I lost a pershing to a panzershreck/panzerfaust (can't remember which), which hit the upper hull, from 208 meters. I was playing as Americans against the computer. Slightly off topic, but in the same game, one of my chaffees destroyed a king tiger with a side turret hit at 330 meters or so. Both incidents surprised me.

Wolfe Posted November 4, 2000 Share Posted November 4, 2000 Green PIAT vs. non-moving Puma at 190m. [Edit:] Oh, yeah. From the same game: a conscript PIAT vs 250/9 HT that had *just* started moving when it was killed at 167m. Lost a *moving* Sherman to a Shreck at >200m in VoT vs. AI. - Chris [This message has been edited by Wolfe (edited 11-03-2000).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not be surprised by that result in the least. Jeff Heidman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nathman Posted November 4, 2000 Author Share Posted November 4, 2000 Interesting responses, but I must admit that I am surprised that so far no one has beat 183 meters. I knew it was an exceptional shot (first shot, by the way), but now I am appreciating it even more! Makes me wish I would have saved the game prior to that turn so I could watch it over and over again (especially when the inevitable happens and I miss a 25 meter shot with my last round against the rear of a tiger - it's happened before) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted November 4, 2000 Share Posted November 4, 2000 In one of my first games from the Beta demo a bazooka team took out a Stug at 200m with it's first shot. It so incensed my opponent, a fellow by the name of Schrodi, that he came on the forum to vent his frustration, causing a fair bit of grief among the regulars at the time.
