Hans Posted October 6, 2002 Share Posted October 6, 2002 I've found that crewed served guns, flak, infantry guns etc cannot pass over a fence. Tested this by putting a number of crewed served weapons to move over a fence. Just the above mentioned cannot penetrate it. Might need a little attention Hans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWB Posted October 6, 2002 Share Posted October 6, 2002 Would you carry a 970 pound ATG over a fence? WWB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holien Posted October 6, 2002 Share Posted October 6, 2002 Hmmm depends on the fence but you might be able to smash through it in several minutes? If not quicker if it was a naff fence. H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hans Posted October 6, 2002 Author Share Posted October 6, 2002 wooden fences If they are anything like the fences we use to encounter in Europe they can be easily dismantled. Even kicked down/ Most guns have an axe as part of its entrenching tools/kit. I wonder what type of fences they meant! Mortars move right thru Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hans Posted October 7, 2002 Author Share Posted October 7, 2002 So pillar you are saying that guns would never need to move thru a fence? I assure you that in a fence strewn world a gun crew or two moved asside a wooden fence or two. The problem is a mortar can move thru it, a jeep, an heavy machine gun but not a gun with a six man crew. Russian fences look no more substantial than "split rail fences". Just an oversight by the good coding crew I believe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man-handling pack artillery in dense terrain in the middle of a fight could definitely happen. More specifically, to hit the firing slits of bunkers you need a flatter trajectory weapon. Mortars and arty won't do it, and if the terrain won't allow vehicles, crewed arty is the thing to use, if you can roll it forward enough.
