sross Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Nahverteidigungswaffe is listed on the unit report for some of the later war German panzers. What is it? What does it do? etc? Thanks in advance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Enigma Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Real Life: Link Wiki article, which to my understanding is spot on In game however its a leathel close range defence weapon for those tanks. An enemy squad closes in on it and you will see little grenades start to fly into the air at them. Makes closing in on these tanks pretty hard sometimes since these grenades can end up routing your men after only a few blasts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Kettler Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 The_Enigma, Looks like a lot more information has surfaced since I last visited the Nahveteidigungswaffe site. Good stuff! The earlier S-mine firing Tiger 1 would ruin close assaulting infantry's day. Talk about scary! Regards, John Kettler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GSX Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 I agree it is very overmodelled in CM, which combines with an infinite amount of ammo makes for some very unconventional tactics using unsupported armour which normally would just get your tanks killed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bannon DC Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Thanks for the links. Great read to get a better understanding of this "accessory." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 GSX, While the weapon may indeed be overmodeled, it's not so overmodeled that, at least under somewhat obscured battlefield conditions, the outcome changes. I had an F-Killed King Tiger cut a swath with the Nah. through Russian infantry in the open, but after popping smoke to hide from a Stalin and backing into a wheat field, was gobbled up inside of a minute by Russian infantry.

Sardaukar Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 I still remember experience from old CMBO game versus my friend. I had late Panther to get accidentally too close to his infantry (Brit Engineer squad, IIRC). I was thinking " O hell, my Cat is toast!" Then there was couple of small black spots in air..and suddenly both (since suddenly another assaulting Brit squad appeared) enemy squads lost interest (and men) to assault my Panther. I was impressed then and still remember it. Never paid any attention to N-waffe, but it saved my Panther crew to not to become a bacon in that What was impressive in TacAI that day that it did not bother to try to get MGs or main gun to bear..it was N-waffe grenades and reverse. There was and are some gripes about TacAI even after CMAK, but damn, they were good and groundbreaking that time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Kettler Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 NG cavscout, At least my King Tiger's last meal was bountiful before my tank was swarmed and killed. Regards, John Kettler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
