Matt the Paladin Posted January 27, 2001 Share Posted January 27, 2001 Does anybody know if vehicles have morale? I'm asking because there's no indication of it, but the armor and such seems to act demoralized sometimes. ------------------ "War is like a cat, it is easy to let out of the bag, but hard as hell to put back in!" -Me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisl Posted January 27, 2001 Share Posted January 27, 2001 They can be "shocked" and not do anything aggressive if they lose a guy, and they also don't perform as well after they recover from the shock, but I don't think they suffer from morale states the same as infantry. ------------------ "If you can taste the difference between caviar on a cracker and ketchup on a Kit-Kat while blindfolded, you have not had enough aquavit to be ready for lutefisk."

Bullethead Posted January 27, 2001 Share Posted January 27, 2001 While you never see a morale state message on a CM vehicle other than "shocked", I suppose you could consider some of their behaviors as analgous to temporary panic. For instance, when a Sherman sees a Panther facing it, the Sherman slams into reverse and pops smoke But otherwise, nothing. HQ units don't seem to have any effect on them, either. ------------------ -Bullethead In wine there is wisdom, in beer there is strength, in water there is bacteria.

Schugger Posted January 27, 2001 Share Posted January 27, 2001 When the crew abandons it's AFV, it is also a failed morale check. On occasions the crew continues to fight in it's AFV even after a penetrating hit even when taking a casualty and sometimes they abandon it just after taking a gun damage, internal flaking, immobilization without any losses. From my experience with the game, Sherman crews ( driving a vehicle with the " burns easily " tm ) are very prone to head to the next Bistro. ------------------ Veni, Vedi, Schuggi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
