Der Alte Fritz Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Hi I had 3 Shermans sitting hull down on top of a ridge in some scattered trees covering a road. A lone PzIV TD wanders down the road, disappears to a 'cross' and then reappears, immediately shoots and kills a Sherman and then disappears. This happens a second time. How come if he is moving forwards, he beats my guys who are sitting waiting in ambush! cheers 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalem Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Sometimes that happens. The Sherman TCs may have just been looking the other way. Did you use the Covered Arc command? Did you notice any reaction at all from the Shermans? -dale 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitchen frizzy Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 What are the crew qualities on each side? Can your tanks be seen by any other German units? Are you playing vs. human or AI? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Der Alte Fritz Posted September 11, 2007 Author Share Posted September 11, 2007 Hi Sherman crews are regular, do not know about Germans. I think the TD was the lead vehicle and so unlikely to be spotted by others. One thing I often forget is that scattered trees provide nothing like the cover that woods or pines do. Does anyone know what the ranges are? This is a Mad Russian scenario called HSG B The Sharp End. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Der Alte Fritz, This is for infantry, but should give you a fairly good idea of the relative impact cover has on sighting range. PoorOldSpike's the man on this kind of stuff. http://tinyurl.com/3cuz9m Also, recall that a Jagdpanzer IV has a much lower silhouette than a Sherman tank does.
