Phantom Captain Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 (edited) My Dragon team actually connect, twice in a row at 315ms, and both shockingly just splat on the beast's turret. It gives my infantry that, "Ok, what now? Like flinging rocks at it." type feeling. One at least, hopefully, damaged the gunner's sight.

Except this time the Americans don't have superior numbers on their side while fighting tanks that are pretty immune to frontal hits. Even early TOWs don't reliably kill T64s/72s.

H I have found that M60's stand a decent chance of significantly degrading T-64's and T-72's even though knocking them out is quite hard. I think something like a Tiger II could just shrug off Sherman rounds, but I am still quite cautious with T-64's. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 (edited) I've just watched a T-72 'Ural' soak up 3+ 105mm rounds to its frontal array while remaining largely unaffected.....Tough tank!

That being said, I am currently playing a PBEM as the Americans and am getting very playing as the Italians in CMFI performance so far. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only played this from the American side so far but I definitely feel that this is one of those scenarios you need to play a second time to fully figure out what's going on. Still, you really smashed the Americans up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, you really smashed the Americans up. They selected a proper name for the mission - it should be played in a way similar to chess puzzle. The map is bottlenecked, so the key is to transport the troops to the other side of the river, kick off enemy infantry at the heights and eliminate tanks and AFV. Only then it is possible to send in the tanks and cross the river (and even then casualties at the bridge were quite high). I was happy I killed 2 Bradleys with artillery fire and 1 with ATGM. If Soviet 2500m range ATGMs were little more effective it would be much easier. I fired all ATGMs I had (I guess more than 10) and only 1 hit the target. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OstapBender Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Judging by your avatar, you are Russian-speaking and if you have ever served in the SA, you know that some conscripted servicemen from some republics of the Soviet Union even understood Russian poorly ) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Hapless did one of his usually excellent tutorial videos again. This on the M60 series in the game. The opening historical overview might be a tiny bit sloppy (he admitted previously that cold war was not his primary realm of expertise) but the meat of the video is his in-game vehicle tests. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halmbarte Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 I don't care if I lose the current scenario, I got a kill against a T64 from the front WITH A DRAGON! I had a flank shot ambush all planned out but the pesky tank had plans of their own, which I ruined! H 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
