Disabled Armor-Indirect by the Map-and more about Gardening Later

[Herr Straße Laufer]

Actually since all indirect fire, spotted or not, is essentially unaimed and random, a moving tank is just as easy to hit or miss as a stationary one is, as long as it is in the area where the artillery is falling.

The only advantage moving might give you is spending less time in the target area if you can get out of it before the barrage stops. The disadvantage to moving, especially at high speed, is that you're probably more likely to drive into shell craters or into large debris thrown up by the barrage, either of which could probably throw a track (i.e. a disable results).

From everything I have read, tankers avoided artillery fire whenever feasible, so they at least thought that they were vulnerable.

So, for the record, I am fine with the indirect fire vs arty rules as they are now, with the possible exception of a lower disable percentage for small caliber arty/small mortars.

Once again Mike, you are a voice of reason. I agree with your comments.
