Other Means Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 i've just completed a PBEM game with a friend which had 3 peculiarities in. saved games available. 1) i've got a screen shot which has one of his PzIV's targetting an SMG squad through > 4 buildings. i know this isn't a new bug as it's been discussed before but it is the worst case of it i've seen. 2) at the end i have 1 12.7mm VHMG credited with (HT's plus) 2 PzIV's, while a 45mm ATG which achieved multiple peretrations is not credited with any. is this because it was the last thing to hit the tanks before the crew bailed? or is it possible that they made the crew bail? 3) i had an SU-152 waiting in ambush. not visable to the enemy. it was fine in the last movement phase but looking at the end screen he is "shocked". there is also a HT (da big gunned one) credited with a SU-152. i only had the one. do you think the HT driver shouted naughty words in the general direction of him? was he scared? would this have affected the final score? again. saves available. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergei Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 1) 2) I believe though I don't know if it's sure, that a unit gets the credit if its shot is the immediate cause behind the crew abandoning the vehicle. Subsequent penetrations then wouldn't count. But I'm not sure. A HMG can kill a PzIV, true enough. 3) Sounds fishy. If the SU wasn't "abandoning", I don't see why the HT would get credit for it. If the death clock was on, then I think at the review the SU would be abandoned. Could be a bug about a unit's commander being killed during the last turn which then gives credit for "killing" the unit? If you'd like further info, you might send the last action phase and the end-game files to Madmatt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow 1st Hussars Posted November 8, 2003 Share Posted November 8, 2003 I've read that 12.5mm machine guns were capable of penetrating PzIV armour in various books. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brent Pollock Posted November 8, 2003 Share Posted November 8, 2003 It does all seem a tad baffling...I take it that the "da big gunned" HT was armed with the short 75, yes? I'm guessing he winged an unbuttoned SU-152 CO whilst blasting canister at a different target.

Sergei Posted November 8, 2003 Share Posted November 8, 2003 Killing the tank commander as such isn't a strange thing, he probably was outside the hatch at the moment. Just a bullet would have sufficed. But the kill stat makes it odd if it wasn't bailing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Other Means Posted November 8, 2003 Author Share Posted November 8, 2003 the SU-100 was 3 streets away behind a building. it was unbuttoned but there were no casualty stats on it. i think i'll send the game to BFC. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SU-100 or 152? If it had no casualties, then how was it shocked? Odd. Must be a glitch or something... :confused: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcpilot Posted November 9, 2003 Share Posted November 9, 2003 Other means, OT here...I read your poem you have linked in your sig. I take it that was a WW1 poem of gas attack. Very touching. What does the latin mean if you would pardon my ignorance? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other Means Posted November 9, 2003 Author Share Posted November 9, 2003 good guess in that case ladoga. literally "it is sweet and proper to die for ones country". originally said by Horace (Odes, iii ii 13), it had been used for thousands of years as a response to people who asked why they had to die in war. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
