buddy Posted July 31, 2000 Share Posted July 31, 2000 OK, I think we had this discussion a long time ago, but it still bugs me! Do I have this wrong or does CM have only troops being hassled by barbed wire? I confess that I haven't tried to drive a vehicle through some yet... Only reason I ask is that I am curious about what happens when you run a tank through some concertina wire - I once saw a deuce and a half truck run through some and it was a nightmare - the concertina wire wrapped around the axels, etc. In short, the truck became entangled and had to stop. I assume this would happen to jeeps and other vehicles but not sure what would happen to a tracked vehicle. Someone out there knows and that's why I'm asking.

Olle Petersson Posted July 31, 2000 Share Posted July 31, 2000 Here's my view to what should happen, not what actually happens in the game since neither I have tried it. Wheeled vehicles: Can't pass, will become mired. Half tracks: Might pass slowly, high risk of becoming mired. Tracked vehicles: Pass at slight speed reduction, low risk to mire. When (half-)tracked vehicles pass they open a gap that reduce the obstacle one "step". Foot sluggers and tracked vehicles pass easily. ½-tracks pass like tracked on whole wire. Wheeled pass like ½-tracks on whole wire. These are my thoughts Olle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddy Posted July 31, 2000 Author Share Posted July 31, 2000 I don't disagree with you, Olle, and I think that we should be able to blow holes through this stuff, hedgerows, walls, minefields, etc. I was curious if anyone actually had a story about a tracked vehicle or any vehicle actually getting caught up in the stuff.
