Fernando Posted September 26, 2000 Share Posted September 26, 2000 In a PBEM game I close assaulted an immobilized M20. A veteran squad and a HQ buttoned it up then another veteran squad assaulted it. That squad fired a panzerfaust but missed. I think my men were very nervous because the M20 was TWO meters away. There was an immobilized M18 there but I didn'i care for it because I thought my men were protected by the M20 but unfortunately the American crew didn't think so and fired its gun killing a men. It seems the shell went trough the middle of the M20 like the Panzerfaust did. Please remember BOTH vehicles were immobilized. BTW did someone hit something with their panzerfaust? I've never hit anything [This message has been edited by Fernando (edited 09-25-2000).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schrullenhaft Posted September 26, 2000 Share Posted September 26, 2000 I don't know if this answers any questions for you or not... Unfortunately vehicles (knocked out, immobilized or active) don't block line of sight or provide cover. Now missing a vehicle two meters away with a panzerfaust is something else...

patboivin Posted September 26, 2000 Share Posted September 26, 2000 Are there duds in the game? Maybe the PF was a dud. (?) It's hard to explain a 2m miss, your squad wasn't green or conscript, was it? Probably not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bit odd the M18 shell didn't hit the M20 [This message has been edited by Fernando (edited 09-26-2000).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Scott Clinton Posted September 26, 2000 Share Posted September 26, 2000 <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR> It's a bit odd the M18 shell didn't hit the M20<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Knocked out vehicles do not provide any sort of cover or concealment (unless they are burning and then the smoke will possibly block LOS). There are quite a few extensive threads on why this is the case in this forum. Basically that is just the way it is for CMBO and it will not be changed in a patch. ------------------ Please note: The above is solely the opinion of 'The Grumbling Grognard' and reflects no one else's views but his own.
