Guns vs Tanks - Make that shot count! - Sissisimo - 01-12-2008 I don't know if people already know this. I sure didnt so I thought to share it here. So, I made some testing what happens if you put company leader with +2 combat leadership bonus next to 88 flak. Picture of 88 flak without any leader. Chances to hit 62%. ![[Image: combat2test2.jpg]](http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj182/Sissisimo/Elltee%20vs%20Sissisimo/combat2test2.jpg) Picture of 88 flak with +2 combat company leader. Chances to hit 75%. ![[Image: combat2test.jpg]](http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj182/Sissisimo/Elltee%20vs%20Sissisimo/combat2test.jpg) If you ask from me 13% better chance to hit is pretty damn nice. :cool: Notes. Leader has to see target to get the benefit of bonus and this work with any type of leader, section, platoon etc. RE: Guns vs Tanks - Make that shot count! - Jobu88 - 01-12-2008 Yes. Also, put a gun in woods with a leader who has a "?" rating and the enemy will have a hard time spotting the gun, even after he opens fire.

Good point, you mean stealth bonus. +2 combat and +2 stealth is sure nice leader for ATG. :) EDIT: Actually I made some testing. I've always thought stealth works only if sneaking or hiding. I put both guns in woods and changed company leader bonus from +2 combat to +2 stealth. Both KV's are regulars they spotted them exactly where the guns were. Weather was clear and midday so thats probably make it easier for them but I didnt see any different in fact my gun with a leader got destroyed first. RE: Guns vs Tanks - Make that shot count! - Jobu88 - 01-13-2008 Sounds like a case for POS to take into his CM laboratory and crunch the numbers...... RE: Guns vs Tanks - Make that shot count! - Colonel Talvela - 01-13-2008 doesnt matter how sneaky the leader is when firing an 88 over open ground. Use a 37mm pak firing from scattered trees. You will see a diffence. RE: Guns vs Tanks - Make that shot count! - Der Kuenstler - 01-13-2008 Sissisimo Wrote:Notes.

RE: Guns vs Tanks - Make that shot count! - PoorOldSpike - 01-13-2008 Okay I just ran this series of tests, it simply confirms what's already been said, namely that a leader boosts a guns accuracy if he meets three requirements - firstly he must have a Command Rating secondly he must be able to see the target and thirdly he must place the gun in command (He can be any rank, the guy below is a humble infantry platoon leader) Reminder - the lightning flash in his data strip means he has a command rating of '1', and the hilite box round it adds another '1', so his command rating is 2 (the maximum) which boosts accuracy more than a '1'. 1 - Here the guns hit chance is 42% because its out of command.. 2 - The leader moves up to put the gun in command, but its hit chance is still only 42% because the leader can't see the target KV-1. 3 - The leader moves forward slightly and can now see the target and bingo! the guns accuracy gets a boost..:) ![[Image: Ldr-gun.png]](http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g64/PoorOldSpike/sub3/Ldr-gun.png)

Me too for six years of CM-playing, so my thanks to Sissisimo for ending my ignorance..:) RE: Guns vs Tanks - Make that shot count! - fluidwill - 01-14-2008 Me too - learn something new every day! Sound of leaders with combat bonus slithering forwards on their bellies... |
