Der Kuenstler Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 How accurate is sound contact information? I know the unit's location will be off, but - For example - if you see a "Truck?" sound contact, could it actually be a tank? Or several "Tank?" sounds beyong a ridge - could they actually be halftracks? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanonier Reichmann Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 From my experience a "Truck" sound contact is invariably some sort of unarmed wheeled vehicle such as a Kubelwagen, Jeep, truck or maybe even an SdKfz8. I don't recall ever seeing it be anything other than a non threatening potential target. Where you do have to exercise caution is when you see a "Light Armour" sound contact. I've had that morph into AFV's such as a Pz IVH on closer inspection and inevitable heartbreak when the investigating unit finds out for sure to its detriment.

Hammer-n-Sickle Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 If I could add to the question. How accurate is the location of a sound contact.. 20..50 meters? Can it be measured? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoolaman Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 You can kind of tell sometimes where the sound contact really is because its ? version will behave the same way as its real counterpart only offset by x m. So if you see it manouvre around or slow down for a terrain element you may be able to guess. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoffel Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Be aware of the contact for its distance. Not long ago I lost two tigers. I heard sound contact from shermans behind them in the north,roughly 200 meters and decided to turn the tigers into that direction. While they were turning the shermans showed up in the east on their flanks and killed both tigers ... There was a difference in roughly 400 meters from where I heard the contact and where the contacts showed up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hensworth Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Stoffel, those were not the same Shermans, I had 2 pairs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieseltaylor Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Great! How come he only heard one of the two pairs moving? Or were the Eastern two stationary? Interesting 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hensworth Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 The Shermans Stoffel was worried about were plodding through scattered woods. Another two were coming up a road at speed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcin T Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 I heard once "SOUNDS CREW ?" and i start shooting at this place ... that was my "mistake of the day" . It showed that this crew is 30m at left. Then i discovered strange thing. Why this "crew" shooting at me using MG42 (?). Ohh this isn't crew ! That was hMG42 and verry well entrenched. So the point is that for begining my soldiers (green) thought that this is crew but finally that was good camufled regular hMG42. And there is diffrence between crew and hMG42. So cheers for my silly green infantry 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
