Tank accuracy...

[Der Kuenstler]

I was curious if a tank would fire less accurately when the commander was killed. I set up a scenario and have three Panzer IVHs lined up. The one on the left has had its commander killed by a sniper. The one in the middle is just buttoned, and the one on the right is unbuttoned. All three crews are veteran. After having a Sherman pass into their sights, I checked the hit chance for all three - it was identical. So the loss of the tank commander does not reduce its accuracy at all.



Afterwards I ordered all three IVHs to area fire and all three got off eight rounds, so apparently losing the commander does not affect reload times either.
