Tanaka Posted September 17, 2000 Share Posted September 17, 2000 Hi... In the manual pag 66 : "...Hull down means that only the turret or superstructure is visible to (and hittable by) the enemy..." For instance an Hertzer does not have turret nor superstructure, what happens in this case ? Thanks, João Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valdor Posted September 17, 2000 Share Posted September 17, 2000 It has an upper hull (were the gun is) and a lower hull. If the gun can fire at enemy targets it is exposed and it, and the upper hull, can be hit. If it is in full defilade it cannot be hit---but it also cannot fire at an enemy target. ------------------ A66 1st MRB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanaka Posted September 17, 2000 Author Share Posted September 17, 2000 ...So the hull down situation for tanks like the Hertzer only includes the lower hull... And not also the upper hull like in the other tanks, right ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To put it simply: whatever part of the tank/tank destroyer that the gun sticks out of is the exposed part of a hull down vehicle. ------------------ No, there will be no sequels.

Guest Michael emrys Posted September 18, 2000 Share Posted September 18, 2000 By the way, I've always read it that the upper hull and the superstructure are the same thing, so the Hetzer (and all other German assault guns, Panzer Jäger, and Jagdpanzer) have superstructures. Perhaps BTS reads it differently, I don't know. Michael [This message has been edited by Michael emrys (edited 09-18-2000).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
