Shoot & Scoot

[Gordons HQ]

Yes Hawk I know topics tend to drift and that's why I was trying to get it back on track.

This is true I only have my own experience to judge by, but that has often been that S&S is used all the time to an excessive extent and with so many units doing it sometimes it becomes totally laughable.

I think I have stated S&S is a tactic adopted by some units in WWII, but I certainly disagree with you that it was commonly used and certainly not on the East Front.

You must surely have seen documentary films of the Russian masses of T34's and soldiers charging the German defences. If not you must have read a book or two or even seen a war film.
Are you telling me the same charging Russians upon seeing the Germans took a shot at them and then turned around to find cover, before the Germans could open fire upon them. LOL

The same can be said for many other battles one that springs to mind is Operation Goodwood.

Honestly I'll be laughing all the way to my grave at this rate.
At least show me some proof of this widely used tactic, other than a few tank destroyers in the Battle of the Bulge.

I think the reasons many do not post here is the total rubbishing of a persons ideas just because it does not conform to a few comfortable and entrenched views here.

I don't think there now is any other tactic in the game I don't like, thanks to the great efforts taken by the beta brigade to improve this game.

Anyone who thinks he can stand in the way of progress usually gets run over.

Hail the rulers here in this froum:bow:
