Richard Morgan Posted November 21, 2001 Share Posted November 21, 2001 Have you ever played Command & Conquer? Tanks there ARE allowed to run over 'grunts' and you get a lovely squidgy sound effect when you do. The ex grunt ends up looking like road-kill :eek: :eek: On a more serious note, 'grunt crushing' most certainly did occur, but was it a common enough event to warrant BTS modelling it? I really don't know. Regards, Richard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moon Posted November 21, 2001 Share Posted November 21, 2001 Don't forget the scale, though. How would you explain if CM allowed a tank to crush a whole squad of 12 soldiers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ogadai Posted November 21, 2001 Share Posted November 21, 2001 I am presently just finishing off reading the book, "Monty's Marauders: Black Rat and Red Fox" by Patrick Delaforce which is a history of the British 4th Armoured Brigade and 8th Armoured Brigade. Throughout most of the fighting in eastern Holland and western Germany, he mentions that quite often tanks were used to run over Panzershrek teams and other infantry. I'm sure he mentions it at least a dozen times throughout the latter part of the book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
