patboy Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 To share what ? The shadow looks like Focke Wulf 190 and not Stuka ? Or maybe a german plane strafing a german panzer ? Collateral damage are an integral part of war ! Take it easy, Wittman is not dead in Russia, somewhere only in Normandy Pat 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigduke6 Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 I guess Wittman is shocked at some one actually trying to compete with him for the DATT (Dead Allied Tanks Trophy). That Stuka pilot must have been asleep during the briefing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
securityguard Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 someone shouldve briefed that pilot 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me set the scene: I'm playing "Opening Moment" and haven't even gotten a chance to commit this Tiger platoon to battle(they're bunched together in a rear area). On the previous turn I observed a Stuka attack some Soviet positions and thought, "Yay! Air Support!" The next thing I know a Stuka has planted a bomb smack in the middle of the most powerful platoon I have, immobilizing or destroying most of it. Yay...air support. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiavarm Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 It would be interesting to know if the pilot was "green"? Does the experience of the air unit vary if so how would you know the actual skill level of the pilot? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zveroboy Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 Spread out even if it is a rear area!! Forgot where I read this but IIRC there were 3 sets of distances to be used for panzers 50m, 100 and 150 m between each tank. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 When friendly fire happens to trucks or halftracks you shrug your shoulders. But whacking a whole platoon of Tigers HURTS! Until recently I've never had the trouble with friendly airstrikes that others have complained about. But in a recent game I finally got hurt bad by a friendly airstrike. Not platoon-of-Tigers bad, but bad nonetheless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think you can really tell statisticly or anything, but you can gauge by how accurate it is. One time I bought a crack hurricane II (CMAK). I assumed it came out elite, because it dropped its bombs almost perfectly on an enemy convoy and 20mm'ed two half tracks to death with precision. I've found veteran or lower skill level pilots to bomb much more inaccurately, or they will attack futile targets more commonly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I really should have thought of that, but I'd never been stung by friendly fire that badly, either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
