Cyber Posted March 14, 2003 Share Posted March 14, 2003 Playing B&T High Noon scenario. My light tanks and armored cars can't take a hit from the Pz 38, but the Jeeps! No problem! 40mm High Explosive is nothing against these fine american made bumpers. Sadly he reversed away during this turn after getting hit only to abandon the super-jeep when the stuka singled him out and attacked. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted March 14, 2003 Share Posted March 14, 2003 No serious damage? Maybe it passed through the driver's side windshield or took off the rear tire. That wouldn't've hurt the jeep but it defintely would've paniced the poor driver!

BeauCoupDinkyDau Posted March 14, 2003 Share Posted March 14, 2003 I've seen a US jeep take a pretty good hit (maybe 81mm mortar in strength of explosion) in a wartime video and still survive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trommelfeuer Posted March 14, 2003 Share Posted March 14, 2003 Wie bitte? :eek: How should this be possible? This doesn't make any sense to me at all...I wonder what's next...stories about macical helmets, that could withstand a direct "Acht-Acht" Flak hit or what ? Sorry, it just sounds too curious-but it's a very nice sreenshot!

Hans Posted March 14, 2003 Share Posted March 14, 2003 The strangness of war In the real world things like that happened. In WWI a newly formed German company was matching up to front from the railhead when a 12" British shell came in, killing everyone but one man, whose horse was killed but leaving him, the commander unharmed. There were a lot of incidents of below being caught in HE explosions, their uniforms blown off yet surviving....c'est la guerre (or some such frog talk) ; ] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted March 14, 2003 Share Posted March 14, 2003 I had a coworker who used to live in Alaska. He owned a beat-up old car and whenever he and his buddies finished with a hunting trip it was a tradition to put one or two rounds into the car before going home. He said the shotgun holes were particularly impressive! Didn't affect the driving qualities of the car at all. I suspect you could rip off large pieces of a jeep, but as long as you didn't hit the tires, the vitals (or the driver) it would still be considered "no serious damage". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingfish Posted March 14, 2003 Share Posted March 14, 2003 Word has it that some of the lend-lease jeeps were equipped with Chobham radiators. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hans Posted March 15, 2003 Share Posted March 15, 2003 Does cm model duds? If so it might be one of those solid shots that might not be to damaging - except to morale. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
