Lt. Smash Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Can you (well, your virtual soldiers) be injured in when overrun by enemy armor? I ask because last night I was playing Night Stalkers in TF Thunder. I had an infantry platoon on the backside of a crest. I started slowly advancing one squad over the crest when *WHAM* two T-62s crested the same hill coming the opposite direction with one -62 coming over on top of my squad. Within a few seconds, one of the T-62's fired, my Abrams took out both red tanks, and half my cresting squad was dead. I couldn't tell if the enemy guns killed them, the blast of the -62 exploding got 'em, or the -62 crushed the poor guys. Bob 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan/california Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 No, they said the AI to avoid it was more trouble than it was worth. You can always try to avoid it anyway. Same thing for muzzle blast. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob There is a more important bug in relation to that mission, did you manage to get to the next one no problem? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sivodsi Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Enemy troops that get overrun seem to take a pretty devastating hit to their morale, especially if they don't have very effective weapons. No guarantee that one of them won't fire off an RPG that hits a vital part of your tank, of course. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately, I was able to get to the next mission. Bob 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akd Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 There are no depression/elevation limits, so a tank can fire on infantry at any range, even on top of them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle2 Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 It sounds to me like when your Abrams shot the enemy tanks the resulting explosion caused the casualties. This is just my guess though, its easier to determine if there was a screenshot or savefile. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
