Speedbump Posted January 24, 2001 Share Posted January 24, 2001 From RMC in the "Is a Sherman a Tank Thread": "And it is always important to note that wargames never, in my experience, account for the true advantage of the Sherman: it's reliability. Imagine the howls from the German players/fetishists if the Panther they bought for a QB didn't appear on the map because of a mechanical breakdown model that allowed for some tanks not to make it to the battlefield." Excellent point. How about it breaks down during a turn (becomes immobilized). Wouldn't it suck that just as you are cresting a ridge, in view of the enemy, your engine conks out! It would be interesting to see how long it would survive. Speedbump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lacky Posted January 24, 2001 Share Posted January 24, 2001 It'll lead to a lot of upset Players! There're a few old, old threads about this topic. I can't remember the reasoning behind the exclusion of battlefield wear and tear. CM2 KV-1's would be littering the map. lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
