Use of Daimlers - GerryM - 01-05-2016 Hello: Playing a small scenario from Goodwood and I have a lot of these vehicles. The Germans have tons of AFVs and 88s. So I am wondering how to use Daimlers in this dangerous environment. Normally I assume they are used for scouting. But here I am afraid they will get shot up. Thanks, Gerry RE: Use of Daimlers - Compass Rose - 01-05-2016 Tell your drivers not to take their foot off the gas pedal! 
RE: Use of Daimlers - GerryM - 01-05-2016 Very funny. I know they are fast, but still .... Can vehicles control a victory location? RE: Use of Daimlers - Compass Rose - 01-05-2016 Sorry, I can't help you out. In the scenarios I am playing, I haven't came across any Daimlers, yet. RE: Use of Daimlers - Ricky B - 01-05-2016 If they are recon capable then they are very useful to spot German unit in los that are hidden. Move to a spot where the unit can see hexes you care about and use recon spotting. Not guaranteed to see hidden enemy units but otherwise you are stuck walking into these units or missing them completely. And yes they will suffer losses in this role. RE: Use of Daimlers - ComradeP - 01-05-2016 Get into (likely) enemy LOS, use recon spotting and get out of enemy LOS. Don't hang around as most armoured cars have 3 defence and will die from pretty much any kind of fire. The Staghounds and Puma's are more resilient, as are the Stuarts obviously. RE: Use of Daimlers - GerryM - 01-05-2016 Thanks everyone. To do Recon Spotting you just hit the command I assume. But what kind of range can it check for concealed units? Sorry I cannot find that in the manual. RE: Use of Daimlers - Ricky B - 01-05-2016 All current los. No range limit I am aware of. RE: Use of Daimlers - ComradeP - 01-05-2016 Incidentally, that makes recon spotting far more useful than in PzC, as visibility ranges tend to be quite impressive. Do keep in mind that, whenever you use recon spotting and an enemy unit can see you doing it, you might attract opportunity fire (including artillery fire). RE: Use of Daimlers - GerryM - 01-05-2016 Trust me, I have already attracted opportunity fire. Do you have an idea of the probability of spotting an enemy unit (there must be some calculation). It's important as you are putting a light vehicle in danger most times when you do recon. |
