Get the NVKD to take the T34 commander away for a chat?
I am playing Ed's North_alt scenario, and the only way to deal with Axis armor seems to be to stack T-34s into killer stacks.
It's not the tankers who need a chat, rather the someone who knows the programming code and can fix this :)
Ed made a great points:
1. Luck: sure, but why can an attacker be sure to fire everytime on command but the defender can't be scripted to unload all his shots? At least makes it balanced: either both sides get to fire all of their shots, or put an element of chance into firing for both sides.
2. Dancing to draw fire: always possible but not in this case, and the limit on fire from a hex helps to a certain degree. BTW, in this millenium it should be failrly easy to code tank units the option to fire on certain targets or not: something like fire at all targets, fire only at units coded as armor/hard, etc.
3. Cheating: I do not suspect my opponent of cheating; and we all know that this is a festering issue so it really goes back to (1).
The original game with MDF is currently the only way out but is unwieldly and takes way too long. In this millenium and with the capability of modern PCs it should be fairly easy to take this unfair element of asymmetrical luck out of the game or make the issue of luck symmetrical. And no, it does not even itself out over the game, because one side is usually doing way more attacking than the other. This is yet another example of an unfair advantage being given to the attacker in a fairly straight forward IGOUGO game. And it could be fixed. :soap:
