PzKpfw 1 Posted August 21, 2000 Share Posted August 21, 2000 Lately I have been seeing more and more hits by Shermans & Stuarts moveing slow, fast, across rough terrain etc, reeversing etc. Last night in My & Bastables PBEM 2 Stuarts literaly raceing down a road scored 4 hits (2 slit hits) on my pillbox from 500 down to 350ms, while my stationary PAK 43 missed 5 times. Think maybe this needs looking into as neither one of us could believe how many times the Stuarts plugged the PB from that range going fast.

Rookie Posted August 21, 2000 Share Posted August 21, 2000 Hmmmm... Weird, I was reading this about lunch time and all I could think of was a Greek Sandwich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianc Posted August 21, 2000 Share Posted August 21, 2000 Did Hellcats have the gyro gear as well? I've seen some unbelievable accuracy from these guys as they race hell for leather across country... Seriously, if you've got a platoon of four Hellcats racing down a flank, they are just about unstoppable... ianc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
von Lucke Posted August 21, 2000 Share Posted August 21, 2000 M18's are unstabilized. Why, I've seen them fly into a rage on go on an almost unstoppable killing spree at the first sight of SPW! Oh, the horror... the horror... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bastables Posted August 22, 2000 Share Posted August 22, 2000 For selfish reasons I was enraged that even with 4 slit penatrations his pillbox was still throwing out 8.8cm shells of death at me. But yes even at ranges of around 500m while moving 'Fast' towards and oblique the accuracy was suprising.

Dittohead Posted August 22, 2000 Share Posted August 22, 2000 Was they regulars or vet troops? Could be related to the other thread about the accuracy of AA guns vs bunkers in general. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand, last night I was looking at a picture of a concrete bunker on the Atlantic Wall with what appears to be an 88 in it. The "slit" is big enough that a man is standing up in it, and maybe half again wide as high. Don't know if that is congruent with what BTS is attempting to model in CM.

Also The Bunker was mine Bast's Stuarts with with their secret time warped back Abrams stabilization & FCS just scored hit after hit chuggin along at 30mph . To Bunker design I don't know how BTS modeled them. Ie, Alantic wall or the more common inland bunkers used by the Germans. Regards, John Waters ----------- "Go for the eyes Boo, go for the eyes!!".
