Deuce Posted September 25, 2000 Share Posted September 25, 2000 In a recent QB one of my Shermans (a regular)rounded a hill to find a StuG on the other side. The Sherman fired from about 300m and missed. By now the Stug had rotated and fired on the Sherman, disabling the gun. The Sherman then sat there while the StuG fired and missed twice, the third shot brewed it up. I have observed similar occurances several times. The question is does the TacAI take the status of the tank into account when making choices? If it does (and I hope it would) why didn't that Sherman realize that it wasn't doing itself anygood sitting there and being shot at when it could not fight back?

I've found out that my tanks back up usually after taking a gun hit and they hardly move towards the enemy on subsequent turns if acting under hunt orders.

Deuce Posted September 25, 2000 Author Share Posted September 25, 2000 The crew wasn't shocked. Infact that was there first engagement. I beleive they were under move orders. Maybe that has somthing to do with it. (although IMO it shouldn't). [This message has been edited by Deuce (edited 09-25-2000).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
