Zarquon Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 The topic says it - has anyone had success with these? What's the minimum bang (AT or HE) you need to destroy these pesky things? I don't suppose you can silence them by lucky hits with machine guns since no hit locations are rolled for small arms fire - or is it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demoss Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 Short answer - yes, against the firing slit. Bring more than one if possible and prepare to plink for a long time. Light AA/AT guns are the best choices. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xerxes Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 ATRs are excellent anti-bunker (wood or concrete) weapons. Downside is they take a while and it works much better with multiple ATRs. Not that I know anything about it, but it SEEMs like ATRs shouldn't kill bunkers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zarquon Posted March 20, 2003 Author Share Posted March 20, 2003 Hmmm... Now that I've tried it, I find they won't even fire at them, at ~380m. I can target the bunkers, but as soon as turn starts, the ATR gunners drop their rifles and start building snowmen, staring at the clouds or whatever. They don't fire. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenfedoroff Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 I have been able to get firing slit penetrations with ATR's against wooden MG bunkers, but did not finish the QB to see if I could finish off the pillbox. ATR accuracy seems to increase markedly at less than 250 yds, but it's very tedious to sneak one into a covered firing position to do this. ATR's also seemed to perform better when under control of a leader with morale and fighting bonus. Hope this helps. Sincerely, Ken 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe they'll fire T at a bunker. HE is best, at least against the front. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PantherG Posted March 21, 2003 Share Posted March 21, 2003 HMG fire is actually kind of effective against wooden bunkers- An MG-34 can take out a bunker in a couple of minutes with firing slit penetrations. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zarquon Posted March 21, 2003 Author Share Posted March 21, 2003 I know that - what I want is a DEAD BUNKER, you $&%/§! And why didn't my $§&% ATR gunners open fire ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgars Posted March 21, 2003 Share Posted March 21, 2003 Check, what type of ammo your ATRs have. If they don't have HE, they won't be terribly effective in taking out bunkers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
