Scheer Posted March 12, 2003 Share Posted March 12, 2003 Wow ... In a recent game against one of my PBEM adversaries I drove a platoon of Valentine IX´s through open terrain with some patches of wood. Yeah, I know I should have recced with infantry, but ... One of his panzershreks, hiding in the woods, scored five succesive hits on two of my tanks, killing both. Not even one miss. Distance was sumthing around eighty meters. I never saw this kind of marksmanship with a shrek. One or two hits, sure. But five in a row ? :eek: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've bagged four tanks in one turn with only one miss at 120m using that combo before -- it's rare, but it does happen. Do you have a series of screenshots to immortalize the moment?

Kingfish Posted March 12, 2003 Share Posted March 12, 2003 Ubershreck POTD from one of Fionn's game against the AI back in the days of CMBO. Obviously the shreck didn't bag all of them, but IIRC he did account for a good share of whats in the pic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted March 12, 2003 Share Posted March 12, 2003 Yeh, I've notice the opponent sometimes does Rambo-type stuff like that. I can NEVER do it, but the opponent can! :mad: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But five in a row ?Well, I can't speak for the Panzerschreck , but in the mid to late 60's I was qualified on similar M72 and Carl Gustav AT weapons. I certainly was average in my fire team, but I scored 5 in a row on the Carl G. and 4/5 on the M72 at 100 yards. IMHO, it's not that tough a shot at 80 meters, however, I was on a range and not under fire, which is bound to have a distracting effect on the shooter.

DevilDog Posted March 12, 2003 Share Posted March 12, 2003 Yeah, I wish Battlefront would e-mail the 'shrek cheat codes to ME..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bone_Vulture Posted March 12, 2003 Share Posted March 12, 2003 Remember: profile shots hit easy. Although the last time I had the side armor of a IS-2 well within the deadly range of 50 meters, the damn tank managed to survive two penetrations with a single crew casualty, and drive away! :mad: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fionn Posted March 13, 2003 Share Posted March 13, 2003 Actually Kingfish that Schreck ( remember the game actually, quite an interesting one) got 7 of the tanks ( 1 Stuart and 6 SHermans)... I had editted the scenario to give the schreck 7 rounds. So, 100% hit rate obtained due to sniping of TCs, obfuscation by opening up with an infantry platoon at the same time as I sniped the TCs and some nice shooting from the schreck unhampered by return fire ( which was hitting the infantry platoon and was reduced in volume due to the number of SHOCKED Shermans). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
