I don't think 9mm is going to penetrate... Saw a movie a while ago that Tom Hanks did the same in .45 ACP. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hehe, and .45 against a Tiger is about as effective as 9mm against an IS-2! It actually happens quite a bit in CM. In my Breakthrough to Kovel campaign I also posted a picture of a Soviet officer shooting a tank with a pistol. I guess it the whole "tools we have" thing... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I was talking about the tanks, haha! I was thinking the same and was trying to avoid having them lineup like this. Glad both used MGs to solve the problem instead of main guns. The turn before I killed one of my own T-70s with friendly fire from an IS-2, shooting these very troops in this foxhole. The round hit a couple of meters from the T-70 and did him in. C'est la guerre. 122mm vs T-70. Edited August 17, 2023 by Phantom Captain 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vergeltungswaffe Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Those Soviet TC's are either really brave or really dumb to be unbuttoned in that proximity to foxholes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Captain Posted August 25, 2023 Author Share Posted August 25, 2023 (edited) I told you all that our battle is raging. @FlammenwerferX's welcoming party. My response... Folks, we got us a long range tank duel going on here. The smell of burning armor and gunpowder wafts across the landscape. Yet, the German's have both bark and bite as well. In you go boys. Give the invader what's coming to him. More men who may be experiencing their last minutes on pixel-earth yet bravely face their fate. Fight hard my soldiers!

chuckdyke Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 (edited) Savelyev among the SU76's and Maxims he took aim and a Panzerschreck Team was taken out. Snipers don't ignore them. Range 243mtr keep a log how and when they strike. Shot was generated by the TacAI not by the player input.

Phantom Captain Posted August 26, 2023 Author Share Posted August 26, 2023 (edited) Me and @FlammenwerferX suffer some intense and terrifying minutes in the woods. A close encounter of the frightening kind... Luckily support is right behind! Out of the woods and right into the waiting jaws of the Jagdpanther. Today we are thankful our enemy has turretless TDs instead of tanks. And because of it my scout reverses safely out of danger. The monstrous German TD gets first shots but misses as both he and I are moving! The fates align, and so do my gunsights. At this range, with 122mm, the results are as expected. Scratch on another kill. More medals will be requested for these heroes of the Soviet Union, if they can survive the next 30 minutes...

Phantom Captain Posted September 1, 2023 Author Share Posted September 1, 2023 (edited) The terror and uncertainty of battle leads to me losing two of my T-34/85s when they and one of @FlammenwerferX's Jagdpanthers meet face to face. I was trying to be clever and sneak up a hill thinking I would have his TD in the flank but as my tanks move up the slope the Jagdpanther crests the ridge coming directly at me. This was the result. I believe the German soldiers seen in the prior pics are now dead. Tankodesantniki on the move!! Only time to stop and quickly catch their breath.

And the shot he did get just bounced away off your hull! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
