Zenaphobe Posted March 13, 2001 Share Posted March 13, 2001 Quick question, I have a Tank bogged in scattered trees, any chance of unbogging during a game? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamsters Posted March 13, 2001 Share Posted March 13, 2001 14" arty should dislodge it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Andrew Hedges Posted March 13, 2001 Share Posted March 13, 2001 You can unbog, but if you become immobile, you can't, um, mobilize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanderer Posted March 13, 2001 Share Posted March 13, 2001 If any of my vehicles get bogged I stop them, then I put them into reverse for about 20 metres. Then go around the offending terrain. It doesn't always work. ------------------ "I love it, God help me I do love it so" * * My wife, a recovering Catholic, saw me set the church in Chance Encounter ablaze with tank fire and was mildly scandalized. I explained that I would have gladly left holy ground untouched, but that the germans had a machine gun in the damn place. - Terence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Priest Posted March 13, 2001 Share Posted March 13, 2001 Hamsters your humor loses it;s charm outside of the pool now back back....and send me a turn. I also find that if you just halt the vehicle and leave it alone that helps (maybe the crew can then concentrate on getting out?) Just my thoughts ------------------ Sir are you sure you want to go to red alert...it would mean changing the bulb -Kryton of Red Dwarf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximus Posted March 13, 2001 Share Posted March 13, 2001 Changing movement orders does nothing in the aid of unbogging. Unbogging is just a matter of chance weighed with crew experience I believe. ------------------ For your dream car click here. For a Close Encounter click here. Hey look! I can see my house!

Priest Posted March 13, 2001 Share Posted March 13, 2001 Actually there was a big brewhahaa about whether experience should be factored. So I do not know that it is. I know it is factored in getting bogged but I do not know about getting out.

CombinedArms Posted March 14, 2001 Share Posted March 14, 2001 Originally posted by Wanderer: If any of my vehicles get bogged I stop them, then I put them into reverse for about 20 metres. Then go around the offending terrain. It doesn't always work. I don't know how meaningful it is, but I've had better luck with a very short forward Move order than with Reverse. But that also doesn't always work. I do tend to halt and issue a new order. I'm not sure that has any effect, but it makes me feel better. My experience suggests that Move is the best order when bogging is a risk. Not sure if this is universally true, but you seem to bog less than with Hunt and much less than with Fast.

Bozza Posted March 14, 2001 Share Posted March 14, 2001 Well, even if you can't get it unbogged - you've got yourself a nice little pillbox Bwuahahahaha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mikey D Posted March 14, 2001 Share Posted March 14, 2001 My experience is if it's bogged it will eventually become unbogged without any more input. Less a matter of technique and more a matter of patience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less a matter of technique and more a matter of patience. OR it will become immbolized.Then thats that and you are STUCK with a pillbox! Sometimes it can take more than a few minutes to unbog (like 10 to 15) I have heard/read rumours of other players using other same size or Heavier AFV's to attempt to push the bogged vehicles out. It has been reported to work, (sounds quite intuitive actually) but I have never tried it. -tom w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
