Sven Posted November 6, 2001 Share Posted November 6, 2001 I just watched two of my M36 Jacksons kill each other, at the exact same second... I could hardly believe it. They were standing right next to each other, when they spotted an infantry squad each, one coming from the left, one from straight ahead. One Jackson opened fire at the one ahead, the other at the one coming from the left. As both squads were fleeing, they kept running towards and passing the Jacksons, and my Jacksons kept firing. When they were really close, both Jacksons fired at once, still on one squad each, causing both Jacksons at once to become abandoned. Also when I read the Unit info they read 1 M36 Jackson destroyed... Can debris really knock out an M36? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was playing a scenario recently where a Stuart HMC did the same thing. It fired too closely to itself and knocked itself out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhdeerslayer Posted November 6, 2001 Share Posted November 6, 2001 Firing to close at a building will produce the same result. Saw a Stug get taken out this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CombinedArms Posted November 6, 2001 Share Posted November 6, 2001 I did this with a Priest one time--fired to close to a building. Seems to happen most to AFVs with thin armor or open tops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if it does work, certainly you'd have at least one infantry squad or mg team nearby to prevent a "gamey" move like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
