l3w53r Posted December 23, 2001 Share Posted December 23, 2001 Is there any good scenario out there which has 14" artillery in it? ...just wondering=) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clubfoot Posted December 23, 2001 Share Posted December 23, 2001 Go to the Scenario Depot and look for Pointe du Hoc. 14" and 8" are both represented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panther G Posted December 23, 2001 Share Posted December 23, 2001 Grandcamp is good too. Pointe du Hoc is very good, although make sure you get the one made by Clubfoot, as there is a different one there also that I haven't tried. Be warned, 14 inch arty will NOT destroy concrete pillboxes. Regards, Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l3w53r Posted December 24, 2001 Author Share Posted December 24, 2001 and another thing, how many guns does a 14" FO control? Is it the whole ship(I'm thinking the 14inchers are coming from battleships) (9 guns I think) or just a single turret of it(3 I think,)? I was also wondering what exactly were the capital ships used to bombard normandy? I only rememeber the Arkansas wich has 12" guns on 6 2-gun turrets, but I'll still check my references later. <blockquote>quote:</font><hr> Be warned, 14 inch arty will NOT destroy concrete pillboxe <hr></blockquote> not if you got 5 FO's with full ammo firing at it made a test map once, the pillboxes either catch fire or get abandoned after 2mins bombardment from 1-2 FO's, KT's and panthers abandon, while Stugs,Stuh's and markIV's get KO'ed or abandoned, and the rest of the thin skinned vehicles get KOed or get brewed up.Infantry and field guns?dont ask Good Day guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l3w53r Posted December 24, 2001 Author Share Posted December 24, 2001 Can I Download it separate from the mod pack? I'm on 56K, and the mods are 9.8megs. hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpl Carrot Posted December 24, 2001 Share Posted December 24, 2001 I believe the HMS Warspite was used (8 15in guns (4 pairs)) and some Monitors (HMS Roberts seems to ring a bll). No idea what yank ones might have been used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingfish Posted December 24, 2001 Share Posted December 24, 2001 Going on very hazy memory here, but I remember there were 6 battlewagons (3 US / 3 UK) used during the Normandy campaign, as well as numerous heavy cruisers, destroyers and monitors. I know Texas and Arkansas were there, as were Warspite and Nelson. BTW, I have a two scenarios in my HD called 'Courseuless-sur-Mer' and 'Lion-sur-Mer' which feature 14" arty. Drop me a line if you want them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read that in the manual somewhere. That explains why they (the 14 inch shells) come down in semi-groups of four. What version of CM do you have? I ran a test with mine (vers. 1.12) with 10 14 inch FO's and nothing happend except for several guys inside getting killed. Are you sure you weren't using wooden bunkers?

I have a 56K too, and I think it was worth it 100% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spanish Bombs Posted December 24, 2001 Share Posted December 24, 2001 WBW's To the Last Man gives the Brits a few rounds of 14" arty, too, plus a slew of the Funnies which are a blast to play with. My 14" stuff mostly landed on my own head and cleared firing lanes for the Germans when I was using it, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l3w53r Posted December 24, 2001 Author Share Posted December 24, 2001 Thanks guys.Though I'm still digging for the book.=) I think it was 15-25 16" FO's on an elevation 19 ridge with LOS to an island containing the enemy units. They also had TRP's=) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
