John1966 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 ... or at least I thought it was. Reviewing the post-battle map and among one of the enemy Tiger's kills was a 75mm PAK40. Which was strange as I'm pretty sure I didn't have any ATGs, let alone German ones as I was the British. Examining the map closer I found a knocked PAK40 along with casualtied crew that I was unaware of and hadn't been anywhere near. Does the AI often friendly fire itself? I also noticed they're FO was alarming close to where he'd been dropping his arty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Combatintman Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 AI indirect fire will often cause blue on blue events. I have also seen friendlies knocked over by direct fire in instances where there is a friendly unit directly between a firing unit and the enemy unit it that the Tac AI is targeting. It happens more often in the modern titles in my experience and infantry are usually the victims. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1966 Posted August 20, 2020 Author Share Posted August 20, 2020 I had a really close look to see how it happened. When we got the Tiger there were Churchills on three sides and it fired a few shots backwards towards the general direction of where the PAK40 was placed (although I was unaware of it at the time). I'm guessing one of AP shells overshot. A lot of damage on a infantry target for an AP shell though. And for the life of me I couldn't work out the position the Tiger had been at and the location of the target it was aiming at. Must have been a wild miss. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
