Itchy Posted June 6, 2000 Share Posted June 6, 2000 I've tried searching and I can't find out how to use charges on buildings/tanks occupied by the enemy. Is there any control over this or is it left up to the Tac AI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G4A Posted June 6, 2000 Share Posted June 6, 2000 Just move your engineers close to the enemy and target it. They'll do it if they have the chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They threw a satchel charge at them, reducing them from 8(1) 'alerted' to 2(7) 'routed' without wasting any further ammo.

Stef Posted June 7, 2000 Share Posted June 7, 2000 Make an ambush with your engineers against the Panther or while you're making a diversion to the Panther with other troops bring the engineers close to it (on his flank or in his back...the front is deadly . Target the tank and they'll probably use their satchel charges and knock out the Panther.(though I've missed once the Panther 'caus he has moved and the charge exploded in the open). Good luck, Stephan [This message has been edited by Stef (edited 06-09-2000).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuka Posted June 8, 2000 Share Posted June 8, 2000 Excellant tips,I had no idea how the satchel dudes worked. I thought they were only for use against buildings , bridges and emplacements etc.And it's kind of hard to get 1 man up to the anti tank gun in VoT!

Guest Big Time Software Posted June 8, 2000 Share Posted June 8, 2000 Andreas, I can top that one! I was playing against the AI as the Germans. I stormed a house it held on a counter attack in a town center (this wasn't VoT). I wiped out the last 4 men that were there within a few seconds. The all of a sudden, my previously full strength squad was reduced to about 3 men IIRC. What happend? After replay my fears were confirmed. The last US Engineer, probably as I was gunning him down, tossed a satchel charge at my guys. It detonated after the US unit was "officially" wiped out, taking out about 6 of my guys. Man, a swear or two came out of my mouth, but it was legit! One of those things going off in a small house must have been just about the worst thing that could happen to a squad.
