Peaveyyyyyyyy Posted December 30, 2001 Share Posted December 30, 2001 I've never understood the moaning about the flak truck. I buy them occasionally in QB's. Not only are they easily knocked out with rifle bullets, but they are poo at picking targets that aren't vehicles on their own. The only thing I can think of is that they seem to be hard to knock out with mortar fire. Can someone explain to me why they are despised and seen as a gamey pick? To be fair, I've only picked them in QBs using the recon rules. I needed an edge as the Stuart tends to be a bit good in those games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Direct hit is not modeled at all, and a tank doesn't not shoot into the path of a moving unarmoured vehicle, that make a hit pretty unlikely. There is no problem with small arms fire or (inherently unprecise) indirect HE fire. <blockquote>quote:</font><hr> To be fair, I've only picked them in QBs using the recon rules.

And since you don't have much HE-firing tanks anyway, the flakwagon hurts less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FAdmiral Posted January 17, 2002 Share Posted January 17, 2002 Personally, I prefer the Operations because they are the closest to reality. Now if I only had the time...... Brigadier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
