Lane Posted October 5, 2003 Share Posted October 5, 2003 Got a new tactic. Was Playing a new scenaro "Deal Among Devils" Axis VS AL.My Panzer IVF Had crossed the the Bridge and had capture one flag. and was parked behine building because he was out "Ammo" This T-40 Tankette had got one of my German tanks with his MG fire. So he was getting Brave. He came across a field near were my Panzer was parked So I though I would give him a scare. by coming around building right at him. He did not known the tank was out Ammo. My Panzer came out and moved strait at him and Side swiped the small tank and Knocked him out. New Tactic If out Ammo side swipe the enemy tanks That's my 2 cents worth today.

MOS was 71331 Posted October 7, 2003 Share Posted October 7, 2003 Isn't that the tactic Sherman commander Telly Savalas proposed to use in the late 60s flic "Battle of the Bulge"? As I remember, his tank had been badly damaged, but he didn't want to leave the fight. Possibly because he thought the Krauts had killed his Belgian girlfriend / black market partner. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDA Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 That was on cable recently, and I think you're right. He was carrying around the .50 cal, IIRC, and was refusing to give a lift to some retreating infantymen. It stuck in my head because it was a very "movie" (read: silly) scene. I didn't realize it was Telly at the time I watched it, but you're probably right. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brent Pollock Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 Sorry, I'm not buying it. I just tried to have a Pz IVF ram a T40 several times at high speed and various orientations: nada on collision. The Pz IVF's HE/Canister/AP/HC was removed in the scenario editor. However, the tankette did get abandoned once the Pz IVF gave it a hull MG blast from close range at the rear. I'm guessing that's what zapped the tankette, rather than ramming, which (IIRC)isn't supposed to be modeled in CMBO/CMBB. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
