Shep Posted September 6, 2002 Share Posted September 6, 2002 I have yet to brew up an enemy tank. I guess early war weenie guns just didn't do the same catastrophic damage as the 88. So far in the demo scenarios I've killed tanks with ATGs, mines, rpgs, grenades... no flaming wrecks. Almost makes me miss the Shermans. Anyone else having the same experience?

Hawkmek Posted September 6, 2002 Share Posted September 6, 2002 I'm ther with you. Seen alot of tanks hit, but only one flaming heap of molten metal. Tanks seem to be alot tougher and require many hits now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poobear Posted September 6, 2002 Share Posted September 6, 2002 Yep, 1. My PzIII took a flank shot from a 45mm lastnight and kabloowee...she blew. Left a nice smoke screen though to cover my other tanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goanna Posted September 6, 2002 Share Posted September 6, 2002 I got a brew up of a PzIII with one of the 45 mm ATGs. Nice explosion. Most are just the klangs though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jared Ball286 Posted September 6, 2002 Share Posted September 6, 2002 I sent a KV-1 to the scrap yard. The men escaped then i had my whole platoon of pz-III light up the tank till BOOM!!! Nice explosion. [ September 05, 2002, 06:51 PM: Message edited by: Jared Ball286 ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pathfinder Posted September 6, 2002 Share Posted September 6, 2002 Several times in Citadel, 2-3 times (I haven't exactly kept count) the 45MM AT guns got a MK III or MK IV to brew up. 2 times tank killer/hunter teams have gotten MK III's to brew up, course the Molotov's may have had something to do with that Don't believe I have ever seen it in Stare though..

Guest Mike Posted September 6, 2002 Share Posted September 6, 2002 Best brew up I'vev had was from a Russian ATG - KABOOM!! Bits flying everywhere, the whole nine-yards!! I've seen a few fires caused by the 45's, but not exploding tanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bastables Posted September 6, 2002 Share Posted September 6, 2002 Yup my KV-1S's were ordered to take a hull down pos to a line of PIVs. The engagement began at 1200m. 10 secs into the fire fight Ser Batsanov crate took a partial penatration to the front turret, the turret crew had been annhilated by the fritz with only two crew bailing. LT Samodai with rage guiding him placed his second round directly onto the PIVs turret. The explosion ripped out of the hull, no one was seen to bail.

howardb Posted September 6, 2002 Share Posted September 6, 2002 Even an AT-Rifle team should teoretically be able to brew up a tank as long as it hits the vehicles armory shouldn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindan Posted September 6, 2002 Share Posted September 6, 2002 Yes, twice in one battle. Some days ago. ISU-152 vs. StuG III + Hetzer. ISU won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdmorse Posted September 6, 2002 Share Posted September 6, 2002 Had two in Citadel the other night. iirc the KV blew up with the fireball effect the PzIII (ko'd by the other KV) simply started smoking and less visible fire [ September 05, 2002, 09:24 PM: Message edited by: jdmorse ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Harrison Posted September 6, 2002 Share Posted September 6, 2002 I tried and tried and tried to get one to blow up (had a few brew ups). Finally, last night, on the Steppe battle, I BLEW up two Mark III's and it was great! A lot less dramatic from CMBO, but a lot more realisitc. But alas, not turret flipping through the air!

Abbott Posted September 6, 2002 Share Posted September 6, 2002 Yes, just had a MKIII brew-up. Nice effects and a large smoke cloud a few seconds later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuma of Finland Posted September 6, 2002 Share Posted September 6, 2002 Originally posted by Lindan: Yes, twice in one battle. Some days ago. ISU-152 vs. StuG III + Hetzer. ISU won. Not again with that ISU story! Aaargh!!! Let me have the CMBB, toooooo!!! Back to the original topic: yes, I've seen 'em burning and blowing. Only PzIII's and PzIV's in Citadelle, though. Just go and replay. And replay. If you want to see more, give Allied +200% troops /kuma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prinz Eugen Posted September 6, 2002 Share Posted September 6, 2002 Yup, a nice side hull penetration (knocked out) on an unfortunate KV-1S in the Citadel. By an Pz-III that sneeked to 50 meters and with two shots KOed the tank. He never even saw that coming ! Don't see that in CMBO, I love this ! :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jotte Posted September 6, 2002 Share Posted September 6, 2002 My first tank kill in the demo was an exploding KV-1S, hit from 880 meters in the first shot by a PzIV. It put a really big on my face , thats for sure! He tried to get one of my PzIII's on the left flank while the Pz IV's were in overwatch. Second one was almost identical but at 850 meters with one penetration hit and then shortly after one more hit that made it go KABOOM! Got to love this game.

Sgian Dubh Posted September 6, 2002 Share Posted September 6, 2002 In my last run through Citadel I brewed up 3 or 4 tanks. One of them was the result of anti-tank gunfire alone. Not one German panzer even made it to the riverbed. I was very happy with my little ambush.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgian Dubh Posted September 6, 2002 Share Posted September 6, 2002 I'm sorry, I meant to say that one brew up was the result of anti-tank rifle fire alone. I have 4 45mm guns that remained hidden until they all had flanking shots. They immobilized or knocked out 6 tanks before they were taken out.

Pak40 Posted September 6, 2002 Share Posted September 6, 2002 Yes, a KV got one of my MkIIIs at real close range. The smoke looks good and the wind carries it, nice effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muzzle_brake Posted September 6, 2002 Share Posted September 6, 2002 I haven't been fortunate to brew any up with AT guns, but 2 KV-1's got flank shots in the riverbed and what a beautifull explosion. I think you really need to hit it a lot of times with the At guns to get it catch fire or explode so I will keep laying it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoffel Posted September 6, 2002 Share Posted September 6, 2002 looks like I am the first here to report loosing a mk IV at 1400 meters(!) to a KV1 frontal turret penetration,with second shot nice bang and fire that spread out with a thick smoke cloud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSword Posted September 6, 2002 Share Posted September 6, 2002 Had several brew ups and explosions already. One T-34 exploded in Yelnia by a violent 150 m range penetration through the turret front by 3.7 ATG (The whole front screamed Hurraa). One P3 exploded while being hit square in the lower hull flank by a 7.62 cm HE round of a KV-1S. Several others brew up in Zitadelle. Have you also noticed that Molotov cocktails may ingnite the terrain and start a small fire (Cool thing) ? Greets Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
