Fan Posted December 22, 2002 Share Posted December 22, 2002 I had read somewhere in one of these forums that these truck-mounted flaks had AP invulnerability? I'm about to engage a friend in a PBEM as the Krauts, and don't want to appear gamey by including any invulnerable vehicles. I hope any kinks have been worked out by the new patch? Thanks one and all for any help/advice! Fan [ December 23, 2002, 12:45 AM: Message edited by: Fan ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpl Carrot Posted December 22, 2002 Share Posted December 22, 2002 The problem steems from the fact they are considered unamroured and AFV's/AT guns will therefore fire HE at them. Since tanks fail to lead when using HE the FlaK Wagon has increased survivability if the user keeps it moving. It will die under small arms or arty quite nicely however. Hope this helps Cpl Carrot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamingknives Posted December 22, 2002 Share Posted December 22, 2002 Note that this effect is only apparent in CM:BO It's fixed in CM:BB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwolf Posted December 22, 2002 Share Posted December 22, 2002 The explanation that they only shoot HE is misleading. They do, but that's not the problem. There were two problems in CMBO: 1) direct hit not modeled at all, only ground hits besides it 2) tanks do not lead moving unarmored vehicles, the shells fall behind the vehicle Both are fixed in CMBB. The unarmored vehicles could be killed fine by smallarms fire, though. [ December 22, 2002, 11:05 AM: Message edited by: redwolf ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
