CombinedArms Posted July 24, 2002 Share Posted July 24, 2002 I rather stupidly left an Axis 88-Flak gun just deep enough in the woods so it can't gain LOS on it's targets. As you know, these guns are too big to actually move once a scenario starts. If I could just inch it forward 5m, I'd be in business. So near and yet so far. But I've heard of folks inching immoblized tanks into LOS by pushing them with other tanks. So my question is--would the same thing work with a BIG AT gun--i.e., could it be pushed by a tank, or would the tank, in effect, roll right over it? Anyone know? And would this be gamey, gamey, gamey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicky Posted July 24, 2002 Share Posted July 24, 2002 To the best of my knowledge tanks and any other vehicles cannot go down into the woods But give it a try... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
athkatla Posted July 24, 2002 Share Posted July 24, 2002 No vehicles can go into the woods, only the teddy bears can go in there for their picnics [ July 23, 2002, 08:34 PM: Message edited by: athkatla ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rat Posted July 24, 2002 Share Posted July 24, 2002 it would be gamey as possibly can be? I mean who wants to push a sitting duck into a vurnerable position? Even if you give him a good LOS, he still is glued to the ground, unable to manneuver... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CombinedArms Posted July 25, 2002 Author Share Posted July 25, 2002 Oops, my bad. I didn't mean woods, I meant scattered trees. As one of Nixon's henchmen put it, "It's not what I said, it's what I said I thought I meant." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dschugaschwili Posted July 25, 2002 Share Posted July 25, 2002 No, tanks cannot push guns. Overrun, yes, but not push. By the way, putting AT guns far back into woods isn't a clever idea anyway, because the worse your LOS gets, the lower your hit chance becomes. On the other hand, If you're fired upon, it's usually done with HE, and has an effect even for near misses. So your gun will usually have a better chance of winning a duel against a tank if it's right at the edge of the woods. Dschugaschwili Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Murray Posted July 27, 2002 Share Posted July 27, 2002 Like everyone said, you would probably end up with a FLATTENED ( or as I like to call them - dimensionally altered ) 88. Best thing to do is to check your LOS during setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
