ENH Otto Carius scenarios
Posted: Wed Sep 17, 2008 4:51 am
In ENH, the first few scenarios after the training ones are the Otto Carius tiger battle ones...great historically based scenarios, love them...except.
I have yet to win a single one of them as Carius...in fact, he dies every time. First turn or second, pow, tiger in flames, any survivors machine gunned to bits. The End.
Any trick to these? The tiger seems more like a sherman in these scenarios, 88 rounds bouncing off the IS-1s and T-34s, while the Russkie's shots blow off tracks, wreck the main gun, etc. I checked my settings, everything looks ok...what gives? Am I just having a run of bad luck with these scenarios? In my last one, an IS-1 charged to point blank range, 88 shots bouncing off it like spit wads, and fired a point black shot that took off the 88 of Kercher's tank, then finished him off with the second salvo.
I should stick with my banzai charges and Chi Ha tin cans...I just wiped out a marine battalion with my forces, I must admit, mostly due to crappy AI deployments and tactics, rather than me being a sneaky Jap.
