Shandorf Posted October 4, 2000 Share Posted October 4, 2000 Okay... I put my Sherman in a position to get a shot at a Panther's SIDE armor.. When the opporutnity came my Sherman went into FULL reverse, took a wild shot and popped smoke! The whole time the Panther shot at a bazooka squad. IT NEVER SAW MY SHERMAN! Fer...ding...blasted..STUPID Sherman!!!! I hate the americans. I hate them. Rant over. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamstersss Posted October 4, 2000 Share Posted October 4, 2000 Don't give me that. My dumbass Panther saw your Sherman and then had an epileptic fit deciding which was the bigger threat, an M4A3(76) at 500m or a bazooka at 30,000,000km. ------------------ Did someone compare this to the Ealing comedies?

The Commissar Posted October 4, 2000 Share Posted October 4, 2000 LOL, what do you expect from a bunch of poor sobs in a metal coffin? Fight something they'd most probobly miss a shot on, and get blown to fiery bits or back off? Usually, only the Veterans + do not back off from thse sort of "suicidal" orders. Lower rank troops have their own meaning of suicidal which includes marching, sleeping without pillows, and pulling the trigger of a gun. ------------------ "...Every position, every meter of Soviet soil must be defended to the last drop of blood..." - Segment from Order 227 "Not a step back" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patboivin Posted October 4, 2000 Share Posted October 4, 2000 This what I like about this game. When under pressure, you can have a general idea of what your troops will do, but you can never be sure. Sometimes I just shake my head in disbelief as a unit gets obliterated because of stupid decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Standartenfuehrer SS Posted October 4, 2000 Share Posted October 4, 2000 Pffhhh, my two tigers faced 3 bloody shermans and backed out, one of them bloody tigers shot at a friggin halftrack instead of the Sherman. Bloody Wehrmacht! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

109 Gustav Posted October 4, 2000 Share Posted October 4, 2000 Sounds like one hell of a game.

Who's winning? <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> To be honest it think I have a slight edge. Even though I did finally lose that Sherman in a spectacular exchange of gun fire. I broke 4 shells off the Panthers turret before succumbing to a turret hit. But I don't care it was great to watch. So far we are batttling it out on my left flank. I have dedicated 2 platoons for the defense with some support units and Elijah has thrown now less than 4 platoons into the woods attacking me. If I can wipe out one more platoon I can live with the exchange. But lets nor forget the 5 burning viehicles of Elijah's. 3 pumas, 1 SPA, and 1 jadgpanther. I also kicked around that panther so they are beat up but still operational. I have lost only 2 tanks abd about 50 men I would geuss.

Wilhammer Posted October 4, 2000 Share Posted October 4, 2000 That explains why Shandorf has just blasted one of my StugIIIs with an M36B1, he does not like Shermans. But his Sherman in the rear on the first turn of the game, clear across the map, must of been over 750 meters, killed my Ps234/3 with one shot, not 10 seconds into the battle. Also, this guy has some crack or elite sniper somewhere, or maybes its a .50 cal, but it keeps my Tigers buttoned up on the dominating crest. This is a worthy American opponent. We have just started, and my Germanic assault is concerned already about this "American" who "Hates Shermans". Bahh. He loves Shermans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of them had a full squad embarked, after smoke cleared there wasn't *ONE* survivor !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mannheim Tanker Posted October 4, 2000 Share Posted October 4, 2000 Maybe I should slow down my pace of advance, Tank Dawg. If I make your zook teams wait long enough they might just fall asleep and let me slip past them. ------------------ "Gun damaged are rare on Shermans because they die like red shirts on Star Trek" - Slapdragon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oompa-Loompa Posted October 4, 2000 Share Posted October 4, 2000 Ok, as long as this thread as started to drift off topic, let me say...ahem... I never much cared for SHERMAN Hemsley either. He too, was small, lacked in puch, and tended to explode (albeit emotionally) at the drop of a hat. Although, the cry of "Wheezie!" did bring fear into many hearts. There....I feel better now...really, i do. ------------------ "Do not needlessly endanger your lives until I give you the signal" Dwight D.
