I' ve had a Maverickish encounter! Share your intriguing moments here!


Recommended Posts

Yesterday I played a QB in a large town. I used a IS-2 to ambush a king tiger around the corner. When the King Tiger showed up. Of course they then aimed at each other immediately, within the distance of 20 metres. With the most accurate timing, both tanks fired at the same time and knocked each other out with just one hit...(of course, within that range...a T-34 is enuff)

What's your intriguing moments when eagaging in battles?

I think for me it is watching the AI bomb and strafe his own knocked out t34, several times. The tank was already KO'd due to a hidden PaK gun when his lag-3 turned up and pelted it. I thought it would move on to another target once it realised the tank was dead but no.

This one was in CMBO, relatively early version IIRC. I don't know whether it can still happen.

A US FO with some ammo remaining was trying to hide in some woods. Previously unspotted enemy infantry (a half squad) walked right by him, spotting at point blank range.

The FO was not killed instantly as would usually happen, by a freak of luck. He called arty on his attacker - I didn't order it, it seems to have been a "fire on a lethal threat" response.

A spotting round came, treeburst, and wiped out both attacker and FO.

Playing a PBEM with my long time opponent, Lou2000, I was moving a squad to a large house behind one of my trench positions that was coming under heavy attack. Lou had also sent a couple of squads through some adjacent woods to get to the same house. I made it first by a short head, but just as his units appeared at the rear of the house one of HIS arty shells dropped right in the middle of them!! Ok so it's nothing really funny, or I guess exceptional, but it brought a little smile to my face.

what really piss me off is the damn bloody air power.And no...it's not the enemy aviation,it's my own.You'll certainly find it at least annoying to spend your money on some planes just to be constantly hit later by them harder than is hit the enemy.BTW does anyone know a way to use the air power against the enemy and not against you?
