DaveN Posted March 10, 2002 Share Posted March 10, 2002 I had a Tiger rendered immobile by a artillery hit just below a nice little hill so I came up right behind him with another Tiger I pushed him up enough where he had a lovely view of the oncoming assault force and that Tiger crew earned their Iron Crosses that day..

Louie the Toad Posted March 10, 2002 Share Posted March 10, 2002 I wonder if only a Tiger can push a Tiger? Sledding Toad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpl Carrot Posted March 10, 2002 Share Posted March 10, 2002 I believe anything can push anything. But you probably shouldn't use a kublewagon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herr Kruger Posted March 10, 2002 Share Posted March 10, 2002 You can push armor?! This is a joke, right? :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpl Carrot Posted March 10, 2002 Share Posted March 10, 2002 Nope. Just make sure its imobilized (or dead) first. Otherwise the tank will go around it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronf Posted March 10, 2002 Share Posted March 10, 2002 And if pushed is it freed/unbogged then?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xerxes Posted March 10, 2002 Share Posted March 10, 2002 Pushing won't mobilize but it will reposition. Nice little trick. -marc s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpl Carrot Posted March 10, 2002 Share Posted March 10, 2002 I seem to recall that pushing increases the chance of bogging. Then again my memory could be on the blink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gredeker Posted March 11, 2002 Share Posted March 11, 2002 I tried pushing a tank that was bogged in once, but it wouldn't move. I think you can only push a vehicle if it has been immobilized as a result of enemy fire. Does anyone know for sure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwolf Posted March 11, 2002 Share Posted March 11, 2002 While pushing, could anyone turn an immobile vehicle? Would be interesting for turretless stuff, but also for tanks to get the hull MG into pos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elalamein Posted March 11, 2002 Share Posted March 11, 2002 Shunting a bogged in vehicle with another vehicle is not something I would consider trying. Would the shunting vehicle be at a risk of bogging due to the close proximity of the boggy terrain that the bogged in vehicle is in? (all this talk of bogs reminds me that I need the toilet!)

Redwolf Posted March 12, 2002 Share Posted March 12, 2002 Ran a few tests. Yes, you can do it in mud after immobilization from bogging (although of course it is slow). No, you cannot turn the immobile vehicle, it always gets pushed 45 degrees from the pusher, facing never changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Posted March 12, 2002 Share Posted March 12, 2002 I think it depends on what your pushing with too. I tried pushing a immobile Sherman (from bogging) with an M8 and when the M8 got up to it it acted like armored units do on the move when they run into each other. The AI backed her up and plotted a path around the immobile Sherman. Bummed me out. (and I tried it more than once) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that it would work because of the Ram's higher power/weight ratio, but maybe the computer throws the Ram in the same class as a HT in terms of pushing things out of the way.
