Chedchenko Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 ok,ok we know the sherman like a light tank...but this tank is too fast...more than the heavy and strong tanks of the germans...but that tanks have a problem they r too slow ... well meaby you have 3 or 4 shermans and appear a king tiger or a tiger...or any heaVY TRANk only you have to bring a bassoka and move crawling the men and shoot in the road where r pasing the tank when you do that the tank get inmobilize abut the turret is steal moving to open fire only you have to bring a sherman to behind the enemy tank but of course for another site the left or right and shoot right in fuel tank behind the tank and the tank will explote nobody going to survive to that shot 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easytarget Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 so are you saying you like the chances of shermans against heavy german tanks because the sherms move faster and therefore get a flank or rear shot on the german heavy tanks before they can turn and do something about it? it's certainly advisable not to take on a heavy german tank head on with shermans the terrain and the makeup of all the other units involved in the engagement play just as much, if not more, of a part in the engagement there are just so many variables that play a part that you really can't make blanket statements about the superiority of anything against anything else w/o more facts that being said, once the facts about an engagement are known, there are certainly better and worse ways to engage the enemy [ January 13, 2003, 09:42 PM: Message edited by: easytarget ] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mud Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 *shrug* It always depends. If there's a Tiger 1km away in a hull-down position behind a ridgeline and in front of it is 900m of billiard-flat plain, it might take a /lot/ of vanilla Shermans to have even odds. If it's the silly Hedge Maze scenario, then a single Sherman might do the trick. Heck, in that scenario, one Stuart + one flamethrower can work... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easytarget Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 yeah, i was thinking about suggesting that i'd take 1 heavy german tank against 4 shermans any day if the german tank was hull down and the shermans were 1000m out 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcm1947 Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 I don't seem to have a lot of problems with Tigers but the Panthers are tough to kill in my experience. True one hit from the 88mm on a Tiger will wipe out a Sherman but to me it seems harder dealing with Pathers as far as killing one. Seems the Tigers have a lot of weak spots or I am really lucky when I encounter them. The faster turret speed on the Panther may be why I have more problems with them. Course I'm talking about being close up. Any distance at all and the Sherman's don't even have a chance with either of them so you do have to flank them or get real lucky. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chedchenko Posted January 14, 2003 Author Share Posted January 14, 2003 mmm Im think you dont have experience, the sherman is fast have a good fire pwoer of 75mm nad more.... for example... the sherman(105) have a great main gun of 105mm that tank can kill the tigers and panther but Im say you must be geat experience to use the sherman in good form 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chedchenko Posted January 14, 2003 Author Share Posted January 14, 2003 Guys....The Sherman can't destroy a Heavy Tank of the german army...If you shot direct in the top of the heavy tank will be fine..but if you open fire in the track or in the fuel tank behind the heavy tank will explote and the commander will be dead 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panzer Ace Posted January 15, 2003 Share Posted January 15, 2003 gotta duck and weave, you cant take em head on, I seem to give the cats a lot of gun damage with this aproach, but usually end up with a bunch of brew ups in return. What I do is hunt and reverse, this seems to put the sherms in a shoot first position then when little buggers realize what they have done the AI seems to forget about the rest of the hunt waypoint and starts to reverse instead try it youll like it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
