See you in 2020 (tank issues listed)

<r> I intend to take a break from TBF testing for a while. When I return in the new year I hope to find the game's armoured vehicles as believable as the game's infantry. In other words I hope to find...<br/>

We can't hurt that (Yes, you can!)

<r> The pic shows a 105mm Sherman refusing to fire HE at the rear of a gun-out, tracked Panther ("We can't hurt that").<br/>
<br/>
Obviously, in this situation there would be A) a reasonable chance of damaging the Panther, and B) a good chance of spooking the German crewmen into abandoning their ...

RE: LoS weirdness (tanks)

Just to clarify, the Panther will be hit by shells fired when the Sherman is behind it and targets a spot in front of it. The weirdness is the fact that the game allows me to target an out-of-LoS spot in one situation (B) but prevents me from doing so in another (A).

LoS weirdness (tanks)

<r> My Sherman can target straight though this strangely passive (why doesn't it flee?) gun-out Panther when it is behind it (B) but the Panther blocks LoF when the Sherman is abeam of it (A). A bit odd/counter-intuitive.<br/>

RE: Dubious halftrack marksmanship

<r> Here's the same bank-propped HT area-firing at a spot that probably shouldn't be targetable.<br/>

Dubious halftrack marksmanship

<r> The stationary halftrack in the picture has just tracked the smoke-wreathed Sherman. Having highlighted several situations where suspicious "STEEP ANGLE" situations prevented shots, here's one where an expected "STEEP ANGLE" failed to materialise.<br/>

RE: Vehicles deployed in buildings (Caumont)

All the info you've asked for is in the post title. The vehicles were deployed into the buildings, not moved into them during the normal course of play. The map is Caumont.

From the 1.02 patch notes: "Vehicles can no longer deploy inside buildings"

Dozy Marder

<r> This undistracted AI Marder completely ignored my halftrack when it drove past and parked behind it (red dots indicate HT's route). It's 'AMBUSHING' according to the GUI but clearly has no idea what the word actually means.<br/>

Stuart stuck in rotating/aiming limbo

<r> Something weird going on here. The Stuart can't make up its mind whether it's rotating or aiming and consequently doesn't execute the fire order.<br/>

8cm mortar still refuses to target open-topped AFV

<r> The last patch readme suggests this issue has been fixed but I've just had an 8cm mortar refuse to target an open-topped M-10 GMC ("We can't hurt that")<br/>

RE: Targeting probs with T30 HMC

<r> Another T30-related oddity on Mousetrap.<br/>

Pictured is a close-range clash between a T30 and a PzIV that, visually at least, looks like it shouldn't be possible.<br/>

It's a little hard to tell from the image but the intervening wall is higher than both AFVs so should block ...

RE: Targeting probs with T30 HMC

<r> Even when I move the T30 to a new 'more tempting' position, the Tiger continues to ignore it, engaging infantry units instead.<br/>
