Hurryin Heinz Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 My uber brave pioneer squad following an is-2, running outside of forest cover whilst it backed up, taking mg fire, crawling to another patch of woods, ten seconds later making a mad blitz to the is-2, then blowing it just in time before russian infantry made it to the woods behind the monster. Never made it out alive mind you, but very brave. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denwad Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 Bravest? Would be a crack finnish squad taking firing from several directions (in a house) while surviving the battle and getting around 67 kills. That was cool, the russians tried a few urahhs but failed ultimately My flank was pretty weak too. I wish the AI were smarter 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thin Red Line Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 My PzIII platoon HQ in a Kursk scenario was gun damaged very early in the battle, but bravely faced several T-34s during the rest of the battle, machine guns blazing, and finally survived. He never fell back even when targeted in scattered trees by two T34 at the same time at 50m range, 76mm rounds ricocheting on his turret armor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eichenbaum Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 The crew of this gun stayed with their weapon in the foxhole, while 2 mortars, 2 tanks and 1 MG tried to take it out. Untill the last man was broken, the rest killed and the gun destroyed, it fought hard to hold off the advancing tanks. Never again I saw the 76.2mm kill so many tanks in such a short time. The oponent (PBEM) wasn't so happy with this score. You can see it's kills in the background. In the next round it took out another 2 tanks before it was destroyed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infelicitas Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 I was playing on one medium map, completely flat with the only cover being a smattering of trees in the middle. I had my left flank advancing through the hundreds of craters that were around, but two of his t34s saw them, and rushed, just circling the troops and taking them out. I lost about 30 men, and everyone was routing. Then, a single man, who was the only survivor of his platoon, charged both tanks, threw a grenade pack and a grenade and took one tank out, and knocked the track off of the other. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hans Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 CMBO I'm Germans with about a company of infantry and 15 tanks* and SPs attacking some Americans. The Americans had a single tracked gun howitzer! Easy meat. That little devil knocked out three tanks, then disappeared as I began to flank it. I thought it must have run off (as the infantry was) and continued my advanced to the last victory flag. Bam! the miserable little devil had circled BEHIND me (this is the AI for ya) it knocked out a STug from the rear at point blank and proceeded to destroy a total of 11 of my tanks. and shred my infantry. Weirder yet I hit it a half dozen times and got, ricohets, penetrations with no damage, etc. That guy deserved the Silver Cross and battlefield promotion. I think the only thing that saved me was we ran out of time - I couldn't kill that thing. *Pz IVs 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hans Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 Hehehe, believe me Sergei the thing was a devil - I'm sure the gods of chance pulled some strings on that one! I had saved the game and reran it. The dang thing was done in by the second shot..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bone_Vulture Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 I found this old screenshot of a 76.2mm AT gun's moment of glory. No info box, but I'm sure the smoke plumes in the distance tell the story. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willow00 Posted December 16, 2003 Share Posted December 16, 2003 In my second scenario I ever played (A Warm Place to Sleep), I put a German tank hunter team in a foxhole at a crossroads away from the main action. All of a sudden I saw a T-34 appear, and thought I was surely done for as I had 4-5 PZ32(t)s. However, in the playback when I zoomed in the team stood up and hurled a charge at it, and knocked it out! I couldn't believe it, and I won the scenario (they only one so far by the way) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer Ace Posted December 16, 2003 Share Posted December 16, 2003 dont know about the bravest, but the most chicken*^&% thing I have seen in cmbo was my Tiger towards the end of the battle with all allied armor destroyed and an infantry team on each side the crew just jumped out and ran towards their lines. when I clicked on the guy, it showed his status as broken, the tank wasnt in shock, (no Casualties) and the Tiger still had both HE and AP ammo left. I won a tactical victory in that game, but I guess the crew had the runs or something and had to get relief 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Russian Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 I had 3 Tiger I's around Kharkov, knock out 36 T-34's, in a night engagement inside a village. One of them took on 22 T-34's by himself. The Tigers were part of GD in early 43. Those T-34's just couldn't get the angle on the Tigers. By the time they came close to getting a flank shot in the dark another T-34 went up in flames. The village had T-34 lighting for the evening.

Denwad Posted December 20, 2003 Share Posted December 20, 2003 I'm going to have to update my bravest actions here. Just got done playing my slightly edited version of Knife fight at Cercino (Sp?). I had one of my Shermans pop out from behind a building to ambush a Tiger and it turns out the Tiger's gun was facing the Sherman! I thought the Sherman was a goner but, the 88 shell BOUNCED OFF at 30 meters on a hit on the front glacis. I'm still awestruck by the luck my Sherman got there :> Yeah maybe not the bravest but certainly the coolest 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zukkov Posted December 20, 2003 Share Posted December 20, 2003 hmmm, tough one. the only one that comes to mind was in a cmbo op vs a human opponent. a bazooka team had exited a jeep just in time to see a panther coming in from the right on a side road. alright, a flank shot! i thought. range was less than a hundred meters. unfortunately, the shot was wide and the panther spotted the zook team and began traversing his turret. meanwhile another bazooka shot was fired. it hit but failed to penetrate. doh! then the panther fired it's main gun. the shell hit fairly close, but miraculously failed to pin or break the zook team. instead, those 2 brave men(or had a deathwish, whichever) calmly reloaded, fired, and brewed the luckless panther on their 3rd and final shot. because of that incident, morale was lifted through out the american army and inspired a song. zook team, zook team whatcha gonna do whatcha gonna do when they come for you.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gen. J-sun Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 The bravest action I've seen is a zooka runnin' out to fire at a ** heavy building containing a Jerry platoon and an HMG42, it took 3 shots, the zooka team survied both of them were promoted, and the Jerry forces had 5 survivors 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tifosi Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 CMBO Sherbrooke Fusiliers - I sort of buggered things up when my tank reinforcements arrived. Thought I was up against a handful of PzIV's and a couple of assault guns when suddenly a "PzIV?" becomes a "Panther G". Downhill from there, but I had an MG squad firing on the advancing SS troops from the top floor of a heavy building while my surviving units in the village withdrew into cover. The crazy loons stayed at their post until the building was overrun by SS. No survivors, natch. Manneheim-We Start Here! - A standoff battle resulted in plenty of casualties on both sides, but I saw one of my squads charge an 88 while under fire from an MG pillbox until they got into grenade range and took out the crew. The only cover fire they had was pretty innefective small-arms from a couple hundred metres away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
