Yup, that's the second kill. The first kill I feel is better in terms of displaying a tankers reaction to getting his perfect shot, while this kill does fair justice to how you distract, lead and trap a Tank with combined arms in a urban environment.

I somehow manage to keep missing the first kill?

First, we seem to have a pack of Tigers parked in the courtyard.

Then, we have the sniper finishing some crew members off. After that, we have the second Tiger leaving the courtyard while there is one Tiger burning next to him?

In the clip I posted, we see the second one flanked from behind.

Finally, at the end of the movie, they take off in the third one?

Absolutely love what I've seen so far, btw. :)

The first kill is captured in this clip, number 14 I believe:

The first Tiger goes down in the opening salvo of the ambush, immediately after the sniper opens fire on the roof sentries around the 4 minute mark.

The tactical lay out and the pan of attack are discussed in Clip 12:

which also has some absolutely classic funny lines in it.

LOL! I wish some of the PC games would allow me to use paint rounds!

These youtube clips are a lot like eating Doritos. You just mean to eat a couple and suddenly the whole bag is gone. I started watching a couple of these clips and just kept going and going with the volume turned way down low of course so the employees wouldn't hear, those slackers.

Makes me want to dust off my pipes and start smoking again. :smoke:

The original Tali Ihantala StuG III scene seemed to be available with an Iron Maiden soundtrack for those with a taste for a louder selection of music:

The real Ps.531-29 laying destroyed in a ditch appears in my signature (bottome left quadrant of the middle four pictures).

Gawd, the translator called it a gun barrel... :(
