Monty Posted September 29, 2002 Share Posted September 29, 2002 In the scenario i am playing, i have (green) infantery embarked on AFV's The scout vehicle spots a Panzerschreck team who is firing at a Pershing who follow the scout at about 150 meters. The Pershing and a Sherm is opening up on the schreck. The embarked infantery on the Sherm are not alarmed at all ,but the embarked grunts on the Pershing are routed , the instant he fires !! I looked to the movie a few times at level 1 and 2, but i did not hear any incoming fire, no tracers also. Is this a known fact ? If not, it must be some kind of incoming fire anyway i think.....

EricM Posted October 1, 2002 Share Posted October 1, 2002 Sorry I have not had this happen to me but here is my guess. When the Pershing fired it gun, the green troops panic and took off. Since they are green they have not been exposed to combat and did not know what is happening. The question is were the troops on the Sherman green? If so then as we use to say in boardgames, "You got a rotten roll of the dice". It happens. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Posted October 1, 2002 Author Share Posted October 1, 2002 Hi Erik I have only green infantery in this scenario. The Pershing gives a BIG BOOMMMM when he fire, maybe thats why the inf on the Pershing did panic and the inf on the Sherm not ? Never had green infantery on a Pershing before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tar Posted October 2, 2002 Share Posted October 2, 2002 Seems reasonable enough behavior to me. I doubt one would want to stay on board a tank that was actively engaged in combat. First of all, it's LOUD, smokey and smelly. Second of all, the turret probably wants to start moving around. Third of all, tanks in combat tend to be bullet magnets. All sound like good reasons to panic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mud Posted October 2, 2002 Share Posted October 2, 2002 Yup. Plus, there's not much cover on the tank, especially when the CM engine does not model tanks as solid objects so bullets can go right through, so make that transparent bullet magnet. When the tank is being fired at by an AT team, well, that's icing on the cake. Dismounting seems pretty reasonable. Routing less so, but they were green after all...

Hedgehog Posted October 2, 2002 Share Posted October 2, 2002 The blast cone of the 90mm is enough to kill somone. In fact you could go deaf from the blast or even be killed if you did not have your helmet on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Posted October 2, 2002 Author Share Posted October 2, 2002 Roger that....... Well, the green squad was back to "normal" pretty quick again and is now walking ( The Pershing killed a Stuh meanwhile hehe ) This is the second time i have the Pershing ( 3x!!) in a scenario i think, what a monster ! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CombinedArms Posted October 2, 2002 Share Posted October 2, 2002 There are a lot of German guns out there that can kill a Pershing frontally, and it's an expensive object to lose, so don't get TOO cocky! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Posted October 3, 2002 Author Share Posted October 3, 2002 CombinedArms, you was RIGHT !! SPOILER ALERT # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # The scenario i played was Last Stand Dalsenburg. I lost all my Pershings and a few Sherms quickly to hidden German AFV's. This is a VERY hard battle for Allied side due to the wet ground i did not dare to cross the open grounds. I have no idea how i could win this scenario :confused: :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
