So I guess the Panther G Uhu couldn't have actually seen through all the smoke. Probably some glitch in the vision routine. :rolleyes:

correct .

panther G uhu is moddeled wrong in the game!!

he should have a capability of 500-600 mtr. seeing
in the dark, but not 20 hexes through thick smoke.

fighting right now a PBM against some UHU, and
they are hard to beat, you don´t see them,they see you.

How do you know you are being fired at from 20 hexes away in the dark and through smoke? Every test I have made with Uhu's gives them an infared range of 10 hexes in the game.

Could it be that your opponent has modified the oobs and has better range modded in?
thanks, John.

im the gamer frank is referring to...and i havent modified the oobs


uhus in this game see thru all but the deepest smoke


should be limited like arty (rarity doesnt do a good enough job)

That should have about all about Uhu (and the night vision equipment the Germans used).

Well, by now we all know the capabilities, historically of this tank, unfortunately, this game engine will let things that see in the dark, see thru smoke also, that's the way it is!!:D It should belong to the '49er group though, so it can't be bought in PBEM games, just MHO.

Btw, check my earlier post. There's a fix to the 'see-thru-smoke' Uhu's. Just change one value with the OOB editor and there you go.

i think the UHU shoulb let be where it is! not in the 49 group.

the range only shoulb be 500-600m (10-12 hexes). there was a 2nd vehicle which was equipped with a longer range IR system, but this was kind of halftrack (SDKFZ). all of these vehicles should be very limited for buyers, because all of them were build in VERY lim. quantities. and as far as i know the UHU had only 2 battle apperances, but these were quite succesful,destroying in one case a whole column of british tanks in the dark.

the UHU currently in the game is more like a late 80ties leopard2/challenger/M1. in modern SP (SP3 or SPMBT)
you can experience this with battleing russian early T72/64
on long ranges through smoke or in the dark.

the russians introduced these very good systems later, so
there was a period NATO tanks had a great advantage to
the WP armies....
