Shoot & Scoot

[Hawk Kriegsman]

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.

It appears to me that you have an opponent issue not a game issue.

I look at the ladder and see that you have reported 25 CS matches against about 12 opponents. You state that you have an issue with your opponents using shoot and scoot.

I on the other hand have reported 1143 matches against 74 opponents. I have not seen any shoot and scoot abuse.

Who is correct?

What I do know is that your issue can be corrected with ROE quite simply.

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.

It is a tactic used by most units on all 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.

I have indeed.

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

If have read all of my posts you would understand that I stated it was a primarily a defense tactic, not an offensive one. Applying you logic to the Russians when they out numbered the Germans 3,4, 5+ to 1 does not make a lot of sense to me.

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

So during this battle no platoons moved from cover took a couple of shots and moved back into cover? Really?

Honestly I'll be laughing all the way to my grave at this rate.

Could you try to be a little more condesending towards me please?

At least show me some proof of this widely used tactic, other than a few tank destroyers in the Battle of the Bulge.

Scoot and shoot was used in just about every battle in WW2. If a unit when from cover to cover and took a shot in between then it used shoot and scoot.

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.

You mean as you have done to me so eloquently in your post?

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.

I am skeptical of this, but if you say so.

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

The Edsel was a progressive car for its time. How did that work out?

Thanx!
