Orange Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 I'm playing a PBEM game (CMBO) which is almost at an end. My opponent had a tank (Sherman +) in the center rear of the map commanding the hill and terrain in front of him. My armor has been pinned back on my left flank and after losing my best piece (Panther) I was unwilling to engage. My men took a hill in the center and were feeling the heat from the Sherman about 200m away. I had a team of panzerfausts on either side of the hill, hidden. From where I was I could take a shot with one of them at about 210m (that's right about their max range) but my hit % was guessed at 6%. I didn't like those odds so I thought I'd sneak up another 30m or so, hide and then see if I could get a better shot from just under 200m. Well, the pfaust crew was seen sneaking and the Sherman began firing at them. An M-10 joined them for good measure. Those crazy Germans must have gotten angry because they decided to fire back. With one long arcing shot at just over 200m they took that Sherman out. They then lobbed a few at the M-10 but missed. Nice shooting huh? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergei Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 If it was a Panzerschreck, I can understand it. But if it really was a Panzerfaust... :eek: But in CMBB I've seen molotovs thrown over 100 meters, so it wouldn't surprise me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orange Posted March 24, 2004 Author Share Posted March 24, 2004 I may have the term incorrect. It's the two-man anti-tank team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alsatian Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 Then it was a PanzerSCHRECK. Still pretty impressive shot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrpwase Posted March 27, 2004 Share Posted March 27, 2004 I once saw a Panzerschreck take out THREE Shermans at about 120m on the 'Line of Defense' scenario. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slappy Posted March 28, 2004 Share Posted March 28, 2004 What are you going to do? This is a classic 'My AT weapons couldn't take out a jeep a 10 paces, but my opponents can drop a Tiger with one shot at 250m in the fog.' situation. Happens all the time. Well, at least it happens to me all the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
