RE: Hulldown - Kelen - 11-23-2009 Weasel Wrote:Thanks guys. I have two mentor games underway (Wigam is underway, Von Bismarck is starting) and this should help me learn the bits. No we don't have that system, (good idea though). You'll find however that most decent players will offer a similar set up though, e.g. agreeing not to post a result, (or only a draw), if they win, but their opponent can post their's if they win.

I know that that some Blitz members are also members of FGM, but I don't see why we would want, or need to direct people to another club's site, particularly when we have our own tactics and advice forum, AND pretty much everything that link takes you too is posted on the Blitz anyway.

Amen. RE: Hulldown - PoorOldSpike - 11-23-2009 Regrettably i don't have time to update and add new material to my Tac posts here at Blitz and other clubs except at FGM. So if I see people at Blitz asking tac questions, it seems logical to me to post a link to the answer at FGM (or anywhere else) to help them out; i've been a Blitz member for almost 3 years and have got friends here, so i don't want to abandon them. But if you don't want me to post links to FGM or anywhere else, I won't. PS- as a goodwill gesture I'm posting my brand-new "The Sherman Family" thread in your Tac Discussion area in case you missed it at FGM..:) RE: Hulldown - Der Kuenstler - 11-24-2009 Thanks POS - and it seems to me it would only take a moment (Ctrl-C, Ctrl-Z) to post your stuff both places since you are after all a member both places. I for one like many of your posts and would appreciate that.

Although that's theoretically possible mate, the fact is that my stunning posts tend to generate so much subsequent excited discussion and debate that I simply wouldn't have the time to answer every point that's raised both here and at FGM, which would leave my adoring Blitz fans distressed and heartbroken.. RE: Hulldown - Weasel - 11-24-2009 Ok, some thoughts: 1. I think the mentor system is a great system, even if I do say so myself. I believe those that teach should be rewarded with more then just a draw result, or no result at all. 2. The posts I have been looking at are more the "tricks of the data system" as opposed to tactics; since as it was already stated, what works for one may not work for another. But POS post on the hull down opened my eyes, and it is this sort of thing I was interested in. 3. In playing against the AI I have had numerous results were the tank (both mine and AI) are not destroyed, but suffer so many hits the crew bails out. Why is that? Why not reverse? Also, can the unit recrew? 4. 88s (flak version) are not the meanies they are in SP. Played as the Germans in a scenario and the Reds clobbered all my 88s from long range (4 of them) while the 88s missed. My 105s killed more tanks (t34s) then the 88s did. Anyway, so far liking CM. RE: Hulldown - Joonny - 11-24-2009 Whether a tank crew bails or not depends a lot on their quality. You'll often find with regulars or below the crew will be twitchy and bail out even though their tank might still be able to fight. If you get veterans or above then generally they will stay there until the tank is out of action. Also if enough crew members are killed the rest of the crew will bail out as there arn't enough crew left to operate it. As for the Flaks, what was the distance and what quality were the Flaks? I feel AT guns are slightly undermodeled in CM personally but you can still certainly learn to use them effectively. |
