82mm Mortars, Tank Killers

Post by carll11 »

Ive began playing a few scenarios with tanks. M48's...it is absolutely phenomenal the number of kills via NVA Mortars, 82 mm mortars to be exact...with a hard kill max of 2, 6 hexes or below, I dont see how this is possible.

That's interesting, I haven't seen that at all.

My M113's don't seem to fair that well to artillery/mortar fire, but usually my Patton's are unscathed with the odd disable.

I'll have to keep a closer eye on this.

I've lost Patton's in my A Week in Binh Long campaign, but all of them has either been to an RPG or an assault.
