Yeesh, and I thought it was bad when a Tiger killed another Tiger when it rolled right up to my Sherman :rolleyes:

You can even kill KVs with little 222 cars!
And if those German 20mm guns are causing you trouble, just sent some Russian infantry after them; I've had Mosins penetrate and destroy PzIIs through the front hull!

Probably a stupid question, but do all guns of the same diameter do the same damage to infantry?

In a semi-related question, how big is the actual armor-piercing dart of a 120mm round?

<r>C'mon, nobody's perfect let's hear it.<br/>

I tend to over-react. If see more than one squad, I assume I've found their main thrust and direct every arty piece and reserve I have at the poor guys.<br/>

My impatience leads me to cheat in solitary. On the first turn, I move eveything as ...

<B><s>[B]</s>if the tank clears mines like engineers, you can 'aim' the tank at the adjacent hex, set it to 'clear mines in front of unit' and it will clear mines in the adjacent hex. <br/>

I've tried it a dozen times now, but every time the minenram just rolls into the hex and explodes(which clears 1 mine, I suppose ). I've never had this happen with flail tanks.

<r>I've noticed that sometimes an infantry unit, when told to atack a vehicle or fort in an adjacent hex, will fire their weapons in standard fashion(EG fires its rifles, MG, grenades, and bazooka) rather than attempting an assault. I find this preferable, since it seems to kill its target more ...

Now unless the target is 3 hexes away or closer the unit has to pass an experience check to see if it fires seconday weapon(s). <br/>

This is why you need one of those plastic see-saw perpetual motion birds, like Homer Simpson.

Y...Y...Y...Y...

<r>I don't have too much trouble with stupid vehicle movements(except in odd terrain where taking the quickest route involves moving in 153 different diections), but it happens to me frequently with infantry. I have been known on occasion to jump out of my chair, point at the screen and yell through ...

Gotta love the US. A bazooka in every squad and a .50 cal on every vehicle!

<t>-Anything that can shoot more than one bullet per decade is a "machine gun".<br/>
-Grenades/bazookas can blow up buildings.<br/>
-85% of all battlefield casualties are caused by snipers.<br/>
-Tank commanders aren't at all concerned by those heroic ragtag soldiers defending the city and won't ...

Why does Norway get all the cool stuff?

I've always wondered why big guns fired from 2-3 hexes away made a bigger explosion.

All MG's can score such kills. MG's cause stress and fatigue on armor/steel as a lot of bullets hit the "same" spot. Theoretically, one should be able to chew through Tiger armor with ...

Why does it seem that a squad having a rifle grenade forbids them from carrying normal grenades?

<t>I believe it was Goblin who said "One 81mm mortar wmith smoke can neutralize a bunker, while HE just makes it mad".<br/>

Instead of close assaults, try just firing 'zooks/sachels/FTs at it by pressing 'T', making sure the bunker is targeted, pressing 'C', then choosing the appropriate ...
