Vehicle recovery

[Ratel]

Well, sometimes the damage to the vehicle could be minimal and the crew are still in good health. For instance if a bazooka takes off the track of a Tiger. I would likle to get that Tiger back to safety if I could, but as Cross says the game only represents about 90 minutes of realtime. Therefore it maybe isn't realistic to recover a tank like that and reach the edge of the battlefield before the game ends? Take into consideration that a commander will not send a recovery team in unless the area is secure.
So, if your tank gets immob within the battle area, you spend x number of turns before you can secure that part of the map (if you manage to beat off the enemy), you send in your (slow) recovery vehicle, spend time on 'loading' and then still have to get back behind your own lines to safety. Maybe 30 turns is not enough after all?? On the other hand effective use of smoke could reduce the time to wait before your recovery team moves in.

I have always thought that a vehicle that is immobilized by fire shouldnt be able to move any more but that one that gets stuck in mud or swamp or whatever should be able to move again like in the older type of SP.

This has been one of my bugbears in SP.
