Little_Black_Devil Posted August 21, 2002 Share Posted August 21, 2002 I was wondering, if particularly in the early part of the war in the east - if close assaults might be more viable tactics to employ in CMBB, largely through the virtue of the weaponry available and perhaps partially related to a given "target" vehicles vision facilities - and its associated field(s) of view. Specifically - will Infantry (sections/squads), or other specialized Infantry units be equipt with weaponry like the Haft-Hohlladung (magnetic anti-tank mine), grenade bundles, molotov cocktails, sachel charges and even anti-tank mines to use in "melee" against armoured targets in a close assault? Sure sure, later in the war we'll see the Panzerfaust.....I just want to know if we'll have anything in the interim until the Panzerfaust became available. I have no doubt we will see anti-tank rifles, as employed by both sides. Its the close range stuff that "unseen Infantry" MIGHT be able to use against unaware enemy tanks in a close assault that I want to know about.

ASL Veteran Posted August 21, 2002 Share Posted August 21, 2002 From what I could see from the preview, you will be happy with the "close assaults vs tanks" features in CMBB. All of your questions / concerns were addressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know if the game will treat those weapons the same as Panzerfausts in CMBO (squad is shown having X amount of them) or if they are an assumed, integral weapon (like grenades in CMBO)?

Chad HarrisonSquads are shown as having X amount of them. It appeared that Grenades are also tracked now, and that a squad will only have X amount of grenades. There were also three slots for squad carried 'special' weapons rather than just the one slot that I think CMBO has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgtsayian Posted August 21, 2002 Share Posted August 21, 2002 From the game I just played, yes you can do Close Assausts against tanks I had a tank moving up tanking fire from a mg42 and some infantry, my tank got sorta close and I saw a grenade fly over and just miss the tank! I swear this game is the BEST in the world! No doubt! I even took prisoner's!! its craaazzy lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
