TP_Bomber Posted May 26, 2000 Share Posted May 26, 2000 Anyone see this happen? I found you can run over infantry! My Panther was in close contact with U.S. grunts when he turns and runs over the remnants of a squad. Thought that was a pretty neat touch.

Guest Scott Clinton Posted May 26, 2000 Share Posted May 26, 2000 You can not 'run over' infantry in CM. Your tank may have moved through the enemy unit...and the enemy unit may have suffered casualities...but it was not from being 'run over'. This has been covered many times before. Do a search on it and you will find at least a half-dozen long threads dedicated to it. Sorry to disappoint (even though I think it is more realistic the way it is). ------------------ Please note: The above is solely the opinion of 'The Grumbling Grognard' and reflects no one else's views but his own.

Barbarossa Posted May 26, 2000 Share Posted May 26, 2000 What I have found interesting is that on several occasions I have overrun American infantry with my Panther and they usually surrender. Sometimes multiple squads will surrender. Maybe the sight of that steel beast just shakes their nerves too much to continue. Barbarossa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maastrictian Posted May 26, 2000 Share Posted May 26, 2000 Are minimum range issues dealt with? There is perhaps a 20 foot radius around a tank where the tank can't shoot at infantry with the main gun because it can't depress it enough. This is the reason for nablawhatsithingysthatthegermanshad. Is this in CM? --Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Captain Foobar Posted May 26, 2000 Share Posted May 26, 2000 Don't say that word!!!!! The last time it was uttered there was an international incident!!! hehe. But seriously, I believe the minimum range do to barrel depression is modeled, however I have fired my main gun at units 20 meters away, but it was uphill, and directly in front of the barrel..
