Bazookas

Close Combat: Panthers in the Fog is the first new release (not a re-make of a previous games) in years in the critically acclaimed Close Combat series. It details the desperate German counter-attack at Mortain, the last chance of the Wehrmacht to stave off defeat in Normandy. Can you match the tenacity of the American defenders of Hill 314? Or can you succeed where the Panzers failed, driving through to the sea and changing history? Improved 32-bit graphics and the ability to control more squads than ever bring the Close Combat engine to a new level.

Bazookas

Post by okikase »

Just a comment. In the previous CC games I always noticed that Bazookas rarely hit the target. Usually the team got a few missed shots off and were then killed by the tank. Rarely did they kill a tank. Is that because the bazooka weapons were actually very inadequate, and inaccurate? Or was is it something in the game play?

The weapon accuracy is not particularly terrible for bazooaks, but the conditions under which they're used often make hitting a tank difficult. In Close Combat the psychological model will 'stress' a soldier that is in danger from a nearby tank, and this will decrease accuracy, and if the soldier is under fire at the same time, it will go down much more.

For best results, keep your bazooka team hidden in good cover so that they don't come under fire, and keep a command team near them if possible. Then order them to open fire when the tank is ~40m away.
