Lord Harmes Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 I recently completed a CMBB PBEM in which I used the fantastic Sturmtiger. With just three shots it killed 2 guns, 2 mortars, and 52 infantry. I thought this was a fairly high score for one unit and wondered if anyone else has done significantly better? Perhaps it would be fun to keep a record of the player with the highest proven score in a battle? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malakovski Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 Do a search on "most kills" and you'll find some rediculous numbers... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 Sturmtigers don't count. For that beast your kill number is only limited by the number of infantry you place in front of it. Me, I'm impressed when at the end of a scenario I'm scrolling through my infantry squad kills and find most have got an average of just 3 kills but one has racked up fifty! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I of course realize that a Sturmtiger is an exception... so to find an infantry squad with 50 kills is amazing, and perhaps it's that sort of thing we should keep a little record on? I thought maybe saving AARs from two player games and having both players agree on them? Just a thought! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herr Kruger Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 You are probably much better off trying to begin such an endeavour where people play competetively than here. What I mean is, there is no ladder here, even though probably many of us here are on a ladder somewhere. Trying to keep such records is probably silly though, in my opinion, as there will always be some buddy and his friend who "agree" on a game and then manipulate it for effect. Such things become more likely as the community grows in size. Just my opinion, I'm not trying to insult you, but that's how I feel about it. I do keep a battle record of my own battles against others and I even have a spot to record where units inflicted a lot of kills. But for me, if such a list existed, I would always be skeptical it was all or mostly genuine results. And yeah, Sturmtigers don't count! lol.

Jim Boggs Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 Pah! Amateurs. I had a 155mm FO take out over 35 troops in a rune scenario. The LOS was limited to 60m due to rain and nightfall. Oh, do they deduct points if the 35 troops were friendly? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Harmes Posted April 26, 2004 Author Share Posted April 26, 2004 Don't worry Herr Kruger, you didn't insult me. In fact I had been thinking about the practicalities of it, and thought it would probably be a silly idea myself. I could only see it being worthwhile in a tournament or a competitively angled site. It would be good see a high level integration between sites with ladders etc, and here (the home of CM!). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucho Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 I remember having played against AI, scoring sometimes 40+, 60+ and also 100+ with one unit (mostly SMG squads or tanks in the defense). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirocco Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 An FO can produce some good stats. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Russian Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 There is a CMAK scenario out there with Crocodiles in it and they can produce the +50 kills as well... Panther Commander 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon988 Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 I remember during in a Stalingrad scenario I led a German battalion, TCP/IP, against those Commie punks and right at the start of the battle my opponent just blew the HELL out of one of my companies. The company was advancing through some ruins and suddenly 155mm artillery rained right down on them, dead on target, the most accurate and devastating barrage I've ever seen in Combat Mission. It destroyed that company and pretty much lost me the battle right off the bat (although my other two companies put up a good scrap). I seem to remember them taking over 50% casualties and the rest being routed. At the end of the battle his 155mm Arty Spotter had 70 kills. Highest I've seen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParaBellum Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 Infantry squads with 50+kills are nothing unusual, especially if they are veteran troops with lots of automatic weapons defending against less trained enemies. I've had tanks with 100+infantry kills, single 105mm howitzers with 80-100 kills and, most notably, a two-man tank-hunter team with 35 kills. And a heavy arty FO with less than 100 kills is a waste of points anyway... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yacinator Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 100 kills for a scout car is the best i ever got. just pinn down enough infantry in the deserte drive through em and blast away with your .50 cal 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yacinator Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 oh and a 120mm mortar forward observer got like 250 kills in an operation , but that doesn't really count cause the arty gunners did the killing not him... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oddball_E8 Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 Ive got 283 kills (infantry) and 3 mortars destroyed and one tank (puny pz38t) killed by a KV-2 in a lovely campaign im playing (this was in just one battle tho) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamingknives Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 50+ kills for a Green Romanian tank hunter team, or 100+ kills for a Veteran British Rifle Section, each suffering no losses. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K_Tiger Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 150mm Inf gun in CMBB with over 550 mens killed. A heavy MG (German) with 162 Kills - i still have a screenshot from it...looks awesome...burning Tanks and lots of dead Infs around... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon988 Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 I suppose I can see it possible for an infantry squad to score so highly. In a nice tight foxhole or trench defending against a human wave attack by conscripts, you can probably kill a whooole lot of them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamingknives Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 Originally posted by Lord Harmes: how the hell do you get so many kills with a tank hunter team????? :confused: A good reverse slope defensive position against an attack over open ground by a purely infantry conscript force. They were in a Heavy building, IIRC, but there wasn't much fire coming at them anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
