You are quite right. Using PzKpfw III require a more careful approach. It took me some time to get adjusted to them during LVMC testing...Originally posted by Les the Sarge 9-1
Well actually my choices were in defiance of the late war heavies heheh.
I was trying to pick the most lame tanks I could think of in 20 seconds.
I routinely play with Matilda Mk II when British.
Sure the gun isn't impressive but man the armour!. Speed is no trouble either, my tanks usually hang around the troops anyway.
Matilda MkII and 8 inch artillery barrages, gotta love em.
You should have seen the bitching and whining my buddy went through when I finally coerced him to play France 1940 instead of 1945.
No Tigers no Panthers, god it was fun humiliating him.
Dropped arty on his positions. Then sat on my butt till smoke screen came. Then drive into smoke not through. He of course superior and all attacked with his Panzer IIIs.
And I blew them all up.
And his victory hexes he was so proud of grabbing turn one. What wasn't on fire was beating it the heck out of there.
Oh yes and 88's yes he had a nice batch of them. Amazing how worthless an 88 is under 8 inch artillery fire.
Although in all fairness, we were playing hotseat on one computer. But we both set up hidden from sight. He saw my stuff and I saw his.
But he thought to much of his Panzer IIIs heheh.
In addition to Matilda Mk II hmmm well I should be say T-34 and KV1 but I excluded those as to easy.
Sooooo, I would say a Panzer IV actualy (not a III as I like the bigger gun for infantry purposes).
and a Panzer 38t, nice speed and a reasonable gun.
Under 8 inch arty fire, almost anything will become worthless. Tigers included...
With your arty philosophy, I can just imagine what kind of damage you would inflict if you had some Sturmtigers available!:D
