womble Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 It is really nice to see AT Guns getting to shine as well as they did in real life. I got lucky with mine. It hit a Sherman behind bocage 3 times for no significant damage, before HE return fire finished it off. It'd been plinking at my infantry for a minute before it spotted the tank, but the ATG/protection squad did more actual damage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackcat Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 I found the Tutorial Scenario pretty straightforward, total victory before the end, just, on the first attempt. Busting the Bocage is a whole different ball game. My first attempt came to a sudden halt when my graphics card crashed, but until that point I was doing OK I thought, getting a bit nasty on the left flank but the right was going well enough. So when I tried again I followed much the same plan and got stuffed well and truly. The attack just bogged down after crossing the first phase line; too many enemy positions that I only discovered when they caused casualties, not enough tank ammo and getting LOS for my HQs/FO was a nightmare. Plus some German troops who seemed immune to all types of fire - one AT team took fire from a BAR, a full squad, a Sherman (main gun for two mins + MGS), and a medium 60mm mortar barrage, though I lost sight of him he was still there and lived long enough to kill two tanks in two shots). I will crack it eventually, but just now I don't know how. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a tester 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
