CMFI:GL – Are tanks (or vehicles) more difficult to knock out? - Toblakai - 08-02-2013 Hi Armchair Generals, I am near to finish my first CMFI:GL scenario (thanks for that thrilling battle a1steaks!) and have the impression that tanks could take much more penetration hits (2-4) before they will be knocked out. Normally 1-2 hits are enough to knock out a tank. Is this only my sensation or is this a new “feature” of Gustav Line? Best regards Toblakai RE: CMFI:GL – Are tanks (or vehicles) more difficult to knock out? - raz_atoth - 08-07-2013 It's not a new 'feature',i've seen it happening in CMBN,too. In a CW game,a Panther and a Marder of mine hit an enemy Firefly no less than 6 times. At the end of the game i could see that firefly had a crew member missing and the optics damaged,but other than that it was still battle-ready.

I had a Sherman pound a PzIV 6 times before I was told it was KO'ed. It was at a crazy short range and I thought it was a bug. Turns out the PzIV was KO'ed on the second shot but the Sherman crew did not know (no burning) so they kept firing. This happened in dense woods with smoke around so it actually made sense. RE: CMFI:GL – Are tanks (or vehicles) more difficult to knock out? - Toblakai - 08-10-2013 Maybe your tank crew needed to abreact after a hard day of work Was the tank really destroyed or only abandoned before your tanks gave the enemy tank the "deadly 6-pack"? Another question: Is it realistic that the game always shows the kind of hit (the red and white text after a hit)?
