Armor tactics question - Tanker - 07-31-2006 Will giving an armor arc (V) to a tank prevent it from firing at HT's and cause it to concentrate on enemy tanks? RE: Armor tactics question - Soldier - 07-31-2006 Acording to the CMBB manual, page 94 etc. :trucks and jeeps and very light armored cars, just to name a few examples, are NOT considered "armored vehicles" for the purpose of coveredarc,and are not regarded as valid targets for a unit with an active Cover Armor command." RE: Armor tactics question - Der Kuenstler - 07-31-2006 The tank will fire at anything with armor - including halftracks... RE: Armor tactics question - Pip Roberts - 08-01-2006 As a new convert, can armour fire AP at other armour and HE at infantry or non armoured units? :conf: RE: Armor tactics question - McIvan - 08-01-2006 Yes, sure can and will. Each unit will have a specific number of AP and HE rounds....assuming the gun in question had both types in reality. RE: Armor tactics question - Colonel Talvela - 08-01-2006 One thing that is unrealistic, is that the game doesnt track which type of ammo is actually "loaded". It finds a target and fires, and at the time of fire decides which type of ammo it should have loaded. Not really a big deal, but it is more pronounced with slow firing HE chuckers who mysteriously have a HC round in the barrel.
