YouRei Posted September 27, 2002 Share Posted September 27, 2002 Just played the battle "Pop Gun and Elephants". This is a Russian attack on the German position. I played the German side. By hiding all my troops for an ambush when the Russians are within firing range, the Russian tanks and troops never advanced. I fired a few mortar shots but nothing. The Russians refused to close the distance and in 30 turns, I got a Total Victory! This can't be right, no? Shouldn't the AI Russians try to advance towards the Victory flags? All in all, I fired few machine guns and mortars. Nothing. Russians came out of the trees and just sat there and didn't advance. YouRei Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dowarisch Posted September 27, 2002 Share Posted September 27, 2002 Hmm...there´s a similar problem in Hornissen Nest. I changed the initial scenario by exchanging Hornissen with Ferdinands. I took out one of their T-34´s at a range of around 1800 meters. After that the Russians became very reluctant to leave their covered positions. In the original setup this problem doesen´t exist, however I´m a bit unhappy with the Hornissen´s performance, in a hull down position and 1800 meters away from the enemy they still die very easily. But I think this behaviour is quite realistic, I mean would you drive your tank out in the open knowing that a vehicle, which you have no chance of destroying at this range is just waing for you to come out.

YouRei Posted September 27, 2002 Author Share Posted September 27, 2002 I thought I only gave a generic description of the battle. The problem is in a Russian attack, German Defense, the AI Russians just sat back for 30 turns and the scenario ended with a German Total Victory. I hope this is not the case with the rest of the battles.. Any ideas? It might be realistic for a company not to advance but then what is the objective of this battle? Do I just keep clicking "GO" 30 times and get a Total Victory? Weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
