Guest Shatter50 Posted August 21, 2000 Share Posted August 21, 2000 I have been playing my demo in anticipation of the delivery of my full version CM. So far only tanks and bazooka troops have taken other tanks out. My troops with rifle never even target tanks even close. Don't they have grenades or something to attack the tanks.

PeterNZer Posted August 21, 2000 Share Posted August 21, 2000 yeah they can. they hiff grenades and other crap and scare the bejessus out of the tankers hehe Just today I had a platoon charge an unknown light tank to discover it was a flame Wepe thing! Christ! It squirted me three times, but missed with two because of my nimble and plucky troops. Still, cpl of people died .. anyway, my troops shot and hiffed grenades and killed a crew member. He was lucky in my mind. The next, he backed off and a Marder spotted it pop out from the treeline and got him for my boys hehe PeterNZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mirage2k Posted August 21, 2000 Share Posted August 21, 2000 Infantry squads are equipped with panzerfausts (if German) and rifle grenades (if Allies). These are only effective at close range (<25 meters is about where you'd like to be, in my experience). Also, if you get your troops REALLY close to that tank, they can perform "close infantry assaults." This is where they crawl all over the tank, open the hatches, throw grenades under the wheels and into the crew compartments, drag crew out, etc. Note that this action is visually represented in CM by your infantry throwing a grenade at the tank. -Andrew ------------------ Throw me a frickin' smiley, people!

Infantry that have rifle grenades will employ them when the TacAI decides, and I believe the range on this is something like 100ms or less (off the top of my head, others might show up with better answers). Infantry directed to attack a tank, or that the TacAI sends against them, won't usually do much until the AFV is within 30ms, and usually not much then. I don't think a true close assault takes place until the tank and infantry are within 10ms of each other. Usual possitive result, depending on the vehicle, will be immobilized, and sometimes they actually knock it out all together. Chance for a real kill, of course, depends on how tough a tank you're dealing with. ------------------ After witnessing exceptional bravery from his Celtic mercenaries, Alexander the Great called them to him and asked if there was anything they feared.

Guest Shatter50 Posted August 21, 2000 Share Posted August 21, 2000 I got a beef with Capt Miller. There has been a challege declared by others. For him doubting me. True I am still a newbie but I think I can give him more than a challenge. Anyone know anything about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasd Posted August 21, 2000 Share Posted August 21, 2000 In the Arnhem operation i had two platoons assembling in the open ready to assault the bridge. So over comes an ememy Puma armored car, it dodges my PIATs, and reaches the point where my platoons are, and ****s itself. Three squads throw gammon bombs, to my utter horror, when they explode, i have two dead platoons on my hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howardb Posted August 21, 2000 Share Posted August 21, 2000 Had a company of Gebirgsdudes take out 2 sherms with fausts and then two Bishops with nades. Perfect ambush. Tried a quick scenario yesterday where a house was below a hill (no clear sight until it's too late for the enemy), placed 10 Falschirmjägers in the house result 1 sherman, 1 halftrack and 44 infantry casualties. Btw I didn't loose a single soldier in that team. It's the worst case of heroism I've seen in CM to date. Infantry is deadly if your lucky and skilled in deploying them.

Jadayne Posted August 21, 2000 Share Posted August 21, 2000 when trying to take out armour with infantry, try crawling "C" in front of the target's projected path. His treads generally become so gummed up with the innards of your squashed troops, that the crew has no choice but to abandon the tank and descend to the carnage below, where they promptly slip on aforementioned innards and bang their heads on the tank's fender, rendering themselves effectively dead. Admittedly costly, but alas, what cost victory. ------------------ "Well then private, it must be sh*t. Good thing we didn't step in it." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
