coe Posted April 2, 2001 Share Posted April 2, 2001 Anyone ever get a double kill? i.e. AT gun fires AP round that goes through the first vehicle and takes out the one behind it. Or the ensuing explosing from one vehicle takes out a softskinned beside it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pvt.Tom Posted April 2, 2001 Share Posted April 2, 2001 No, but I had a Schreck round go through a building and kill an M5A1 once. Pvt.Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeski Posted April 2, 2001 Share Posted April 2, 2001 I had My Sharpshooter take out another Sharpshooter.

Thimoty Posted April 2, 2001 Share Posted April 2, 2001 I once targeted a sherman using a shreck. It missed, but the building behind the sherman got hit and collapsed. ------------------ Gilthoniel A Elbereth! A Elbereth Gilthoniel o menel palan-diriel, le nallon sà di'nguruthos!

tss Posted April 2, 2001 Share Posted April 2, 2001 Well, look at the following kill list of a Hetzer: Five tanks with 17 lbr guns destroyed in a single battle... Those tanks fired at least a total of 15 shots at it, with three ricocheting hits and one miss from 98 meters. - Tommi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homba Posted April 2, 2001 Share Posted April 2, 2001 I lost a 37mm single-gun flak truck to infantry fire at 200m+. I was firing HE at the infantry in a woodline. Was surprised by this kill- all 8 of the crew survived the destruction of the gun. H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have inf riding on/in vehicles that explode, however, you can expect about 50% casualties. To test this, I put a few platoons of inf near some cromwells, and targeted the croms with 88s. About half brewed up, but none of the infantry got killed, or even alerted. ------------------ The Last Defense- Made any scenarios? Send them here!

Catastrophic explosion, too (musta hit the gas tank). Though the crew didn't even suffer a single casualty. This was possibly a rifle grenade. I've seen a couple of open top vehicles taken out by these. It took me a while to figure out who got the kill but the only possibility was a rifle squad that had rifle grenades. I've also seen a Rifle squad take out a Panther with a rifle grenade at point blank range. rear penetration.

joeski Posted April 2, 2001 Share Posted April 2, 2001 Rifle Gernades don't fire that far. Do they? I've fired at Flak vehicles with infantry, and had them abandon the vehicle, with crew casulities. ------------------ "If you're in a war, instead of throwing a hand grenade at the enemy, throw one of those small pumpkins.

Pak40 Posted April 3, 2001 Share Posted April 3, 2001 Yea, 300+ meters seems a tad too far for a rifle grenade. Even if it could go that far the accuracy would be horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfe Posted April 3, 2001 Share Posted April 3, 2001 Originally posted by Pak40: Yea, 300+ meters seems a tad too far for a rifle grenade. Yep, they don't seem to fire at more than 55m. Atleast I haven't seen any fly at 60m or more. What was cool was the Inf squad, after killing the Flak tractor shouted "Yeah, got him!". It was about time, too. That Flak tractor had absorbed fire for 4 turns from a Hellcat, a Sherm-75, and a Sherm-76. The FlaK took out the Hellcat, and damaged the gun on the Sherm-75. My tanks had IDed the vehicle as some sort of FlaK AFV, not a tractor with Flak, and so they fired AP shells at it instead of HE. Which (if you check a couple of other active threads on killing SdKfz's), isn't gonna help much. - Chris [This message has been edited by Wolfe (edited 04-02-2001).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mlapanzer Posted April 3, 2001 Share Posted April 3, 2001 not strange at all for a squad to take out a jeep or truck at those ranges. The BAR and LMG could easily do the job. Plus there was the availability of armor piercing bullets that could co through an engine block at those ranges. I did have a zook take out 2 Panthers in one turn once. 2 shots 2 kills not thats good shootin. ------ "phhhhfffffft" Bill the Cat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CATguy Posted April 3, 2001 Share Posted April 3, 2001 Actually with any of the bolt action rifles of that era it is really easy to take a soft skinned vehicle like a flak truck or jeep out at ranges of 200+ meters or more depending on the skill of the shooter. One bullet through the radiator or just a FMJ through the block will suffice to stop it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JigVictor07 Posted April 3, 2001 Share Posted April 3, 2001 Once I got two halftracks advancing when the first one got bogged down. The second tried to pass it and when it was beside the first one a German TD got them both with one shot. I had a squad in each HT and only five men survived.
