Bruce Robert Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 1. Set up and fire mortars from within a building? 2. Place vehicles in buildings? 3. Place towed weapons in buildings? 4. Can tanks plow through the smaller hedges, and if so, how? thanks, Bruce 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackcat Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 1. No 2. No 3. No 4. Normal hedges, yes. Bocage (high or low) only if equipped with the Rhino gizzmo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Robert Posted June 10, 2011 Author Share Posted June 10, 2011 Thanks Blackcat. Any chance some of these will be included in future modules, as the first three were incorporated into the tactics of the time. I also have seen footage of large tanks plowing through what looked like a full-fledged hedgerow, but I can't be sure what type of hedgerow it was..

YankeeDog Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 The footage you've seen is probably of tanks equipped with the "Rhino" aka "Cullins" hedgerow device, which was invented by a U.S. soldier named Cullins to deal with the problem how to get tanks through the hedgegrow As Blackcat mentions, Rhino-equipped tanks are modeled in the game, but you don't get them until July, when the U.S. first developed and deployed them. It was sometimes possible for a tank without a Cullins device to climb over hedgerow, but it was extremely risky (very high change of immobilization, also exposed the tank's belly to fire), and rarely done. BFC concluded it was best to not allow players to make the attempt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
