Jagdwyrm Posted October 26, 2002 Share Posted October 26, 2002 Is the Hs-129 w/75mm AT gun included in the game? I thought there were only a handful of those made? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iconoclast Posted October 27, 2002 Share Posted October 27, 2002 Originally posted by Gary T: [in another scenario I witnessed the most effective air attack to date - I had five stationary trucks loaded with men. A Stuka dropped one bomb (a pretty big one judging by the crater) and it between 20 and 40 metres from the trucksAll five trucks burst into flames - 3 squads and platoon HQ elminated entirely and 1/2 of another squad. I had to laugh... [/QB]I'll go you one better. <g> I was doing a PBEM scenario where my tanks were numerous, impressive (lots of SU-122's and some ASU-152's, plus T-34's) but not able to go up against a mixed company of Panthers/Tigers frontally, so I had them hull down behind a plateau in the German's path. As I waited for the on-coming panzers, a German plane flew over and dropped a 500 kg bomb. The bomb landed about 40m behind one tank which was towards the center of a ~200m-long line of a dozen hull down assault guns and T-34's. I had five AFV commanders killed and four assault guns gun-damaged out of the 12 AFV's in the firing line (one poor SU-122 lost both its gun and commander.) Between the shock from the crew loss and the gun-damaged SU's/ASU's, I was down fully two-thirds of my strength when the lead Tiger crested the rise on the next turn. Fortunately I still had some T-34/85's off to the side, so we nailed the big cats with flank shots, but the airstrike was awesome. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt. Havoc Posted October 27, 2002 Share Posted October 27, 2002 The Ju87-G is in the game, Hans Ulrich Rudel got some 350 tank kills in that plane, well, atleast 35 different G's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prime^ Posted October 28, 2002 Share Posted October 28, 2002 I had 2 IL-2 in my last game, they did some reasonable damage to halftracks etc but coudlnt do jack against the heavier armour, 1 eventually got shot down. They are certainly not the be all and end all, especiall when i could have spent the points on a 300mm rocket barage - however 1 thing that planes do seem to be good for, is recon. Still havnt heard much about the odd thing i saw in my first game of cm:bb, where 1 bomb destroyed all but 2 units within LOS (about 5 vehicles and 4 tanks as well as numerous infantry squads) over a large distance (500-600 meters).
