Iain Fuller Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 (edited) Sorry I ballsed up the screenshot so can't post it but playing the first game of the Soviet campaign and a M-60 just took out a BTR-70 & T-62 with the same shot, through the former and into the latter! I am really enjoying this game, by far my favourite CM game so far. I've played the US (82) mission and got a draw without going all the way through the campaign but will be definitely be giving it another go.

MikeyD Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Over on one of the WWII chat groups I recall someone set up a test to see how many vehicles an 88 round would pass through. I believe the max number was 8(?). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RescueToaster Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 (edited) I don't think I have the save, but the 'best' I've gotten is taking out 2 unbuttoned BMP's with 1 tank round in the final mission of the NTC campaign. The shot came from pretty much straight on the side of the BMP, went through the new meat-based internal armor system and knocked out the 2nd BMP that was lined up on the other side. I couldn't see a round passing through, so I assume that instead of penetrating through both, the first BMP's ammo detonated and the explosion was massive enough to knock out the 2nd BMP. I might be wrong, but I suspect modern rounds may have less of a tendency to over-penetrate like rounds of the past would/could in some cases, with advanced fuses and all of that. But it would be fun to test! I might have to make a video of it one of these days if it produces interesting results! Now this makes me wonder if there's a way to inspect a vehicle after a battle to see details on how it died, more than simply the name of what killed it? I'm a bit spoiled by Graviteam games where it shows penetrations / partial penetrations / deflects in pretty great detail (attached image to demonstrate) Edited May 23, 2021 by RescueToaster typos, as usual! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
