Nikki Mond Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 There's a role playing strategy element to this game that seldom gets mentioned. But if managed correctly can help in winning scenarios, and makes the game more interesting too. Following tank crews, promoting their stats and transferring them from battle to battle is what I'm talkin bout. Did you know you can swap out rookie crewmen for leet crewmen even in blocked tanks? So put those highly decorated PZt38 jocks in a tiger and get to know and guard them. If the tank gets tracked or gun damage pull em out, don't use em for fodder. Below is Otto Nelleman, A 6 battle tank ace and winner of the war merit badge, actually his whole crew is highly decorated and able to function in any role. As below click and drag him over to the blocked tank crew. Only the whitmann tank cannot be swapped in the game. And drag him over to replace crew in the rookie blocked tiger [ July 05, 2007, 06:03 PM: Message edited by: Nikki Mond ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikki Mond Posted July 6, 2007 Author Share Posted July 6, 2007 I've tried this with infantry but the attrition is quite simply too fast and too high. I may get the odd grunt into his 3rd battle, but recognizing him is hard and the squads tend to come and go quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runessonn1 Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 can ya increase marksmanship after a battle or is it just gunner/driver?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K9crump Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 Notice the piping on Otto, it looks more red then pink, like it should be. Just an observation. I usually lost my crews in the shuffel, never got to give them the German Cross in silver/gold. Good work Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikki Mond Posted July 7, 2007 Author Share Posted July 7, 2007 Forget it, LOL.... Ones you hit the Villers Bocage aka the Hunter you have to lose panzers in order to get reinforcements. Its wasteful to put elite tanks in this scenario. Catch 22, you can't win with 3 tanks alone but you'll get 3 squads of infantry and up to 4 tanks in reinforcements if triggered. The trigger is to have your 3 tanks destroyed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
