Neil aka Major Tum Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 I played a quick game last night where I placed one of my Marder II's behind a House. From here I managed to knock out 3 Shermans! But when my 'Super' Marder began to target the 4th Sherman the red line went through the house. I was thinking perhaps the Marder was firing through two open windows?... Anyway the Marder fired, the shell obviuosly hit the house, and the explosion made the Marder crew abandon it!!! What happend???? Are the crew just stupid??? Any answers would help. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rommel42 Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 I think it is just a glitch, but I have been able to fire thru buildings before... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil aka Major Tum Posted March 30, 2005 Author Share Posted March 30, 2005 Didn't you blow up yourself though rommel42? Is there any particular way to do this as it a good technique? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KG_Jag Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 I haven't played CMBO for a while, but accidently blowing up nearby buildings certainly occurs in CMBB. Since the Marder is an open top AFV, blowing a building next to it can certainly cause crew casualities and/or cause the crew to bail. However, I will add that this type of event occurs more often when you are firing HE rounds. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil aka Major Tum Posted March 31, 2005 Author Share Posted March 31, 2005 Totally agree, it probably was because the Marder doesn't have an enclosed turret. - As it has been said before (on other threads) panthers/tigers aren't as robust as they should be; so thats why I choose Marders or Hetzers (because they are cheap and seem to last just as long) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panthers and Tigers are definitely not uber tanks in BO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon988 Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 Heh, that's hilarious. Tanks can definately fire through buildings though. On the rare occassion that they can fire through a window and out another window to hit their target. Says so write there in the manual and I've seen it done before. This particular instance is either a glitch or... just chalk it up to crew error :-P. I imagine that's a hard shot and if they screw it up then that house is going to explode and take them out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
