DTH Posted November 29, 2003 Share Posted November 29, 2003 Hi, I'm fairly new to this game and was wondering if somebody could give me some tips on how to use the M7 Priest properly. Can it do indirect fire? Thanks. -DTH 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmar Bijlsma Posted November 29, 2003 Share Posted November 29, 2003 Use a narrow key hole position (limited field of view) if you suspect enemy armour is around. Keep it well back from the main fighting because it eally is a fragile thing. Be wary of on board mortars and off map artillery of all calibers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwolf Posted November 29, 2003 Share Posted November 29, 2003 Most important thing is to watch out for 20mm or 37mm autocannon armed guns or vehicles, they kill it in no time because CMBO gives them huge advantages in hot probablity and kill chances. Don't go hulldown because the lower hull resists these rounds but the upper ones doesn't. No indirect fire, but if you have enough ammo you can target a hilltop if there is one conviniently in the way. Move it forth and back so that accuracy sucks and about half the rounds fly over (doesn't work in CMBB anymore since the rounds land in the hill more often). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
togi Posted November 29, 2003 Share Posted November 29, 2003 Hi, You can use after the destruction of the killer AFVs of your opponents, it can be used a trench buster or killer for digged in troops..It's very useful with this way.. Best Regards.. Tolga. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasonC Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 It has tons of ammo, so you can afford to use "area fire" at suspected enemy positions turn after turn. One turn of 105 HE will "do" a position (single tile) very nicely, even if you don't have the exact location of enemy troops there. If you combine this with the "keyhole" idea, e.g. by peeking around a building, a little farther every couple of turns, you can plaster a whole succession of tiles over 5 minutes or so. Then relocate and do the same to some other position. Sherman 105s can be used the same way, with the added benefit that they have front armor thick enough to stop light guns (but also for added cost). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beta1 Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 Yeah but like the guys said watch out for flak guns. I just set a sexton (brit SPG very similar to M7) with a keyhole LOS to a patch of wood where I was expecting some infantry. Unfortuately there was a light gun of some sort there with exactly the same keyholed LOS back to me.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
