mfred Posted August 12, 2000 Share Posted August 12, 2000 After weeks of endless play, I only can draw one conclusion. My CD must be bent!!It seems the Allie armour has the ability to hit Axis armour first shot, a split second after making Los, and on the move. Meanwhile my Veteren Panther tank has Ten shots at 5oo yards at a stationary M36 Jackson and does not hit once. The Panther was in Hulldown, what side had the better optics...ah, the germans ,strange that. I believe the CD is bent where the panzer Bmps are stored, and this has caused the barrels to bend, and stressed the tigers armour which results in penetration, as if it was made of Tin foil. Do you think a new CD would fix the situation, or maybe I should play the weighted side more. P.S This is against the AI [This message has been edited by mfred (edited 08-12-2000).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEF BUNGIS Posted August 12, 2000 Share Posted August 12, 2000 Sounds like you just got unlucky..? I'm playing a PBEM game right now where I started with 13 shermans against what appears to be, one stug III and two panthers. I'm down to my last sherman. How's that for a different side of the story. ------------------ Better to make the wrong decision than be the sorry son of a bitch to scared to make one at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that mine could easily have been bent after it's struck the wall so many times ... usually accompanied by cries of "STUPID F****ING GAME!"

BFCElvis Posted August 13, 2000 Share Posted August 13, 2000 mfred, Keep in mind many Allied tanks had gyrostablizers which make them more accurate on the move. ------------------ "To conquer death you only have to die" JC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Formerly Babra Posted August 13, 2000 Share Posted August 13, 2000 hehehe... nothing like watching an 88 slam into a carrier or halftrack and watching in disbelief as the info icon reads "MG hit" or "side penetration" and the victim drives happily on...

kollos Posted August 14, 2000 Share Posted August 14, 2000 Hey all, Being in computer repair for many years, please try these simple repair tips. 1) if you belive CD is bent, remove CD from computer. Place on level surface. Hit several times with IBM drive alignment tool (see under hardware/hammer). reinsert cd and try again. If the above does not work see step 2 2) Slaughter a goat on Firday at midnight. Spread entrails across keyboard while reciting Ohms law backwards. This will ward off evil spirits. Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
