1979, we're still in a time where unbuttoned tank commanders can see better than buttoned ones. Your M60A2 would probably have got more spots early on if the TC was opened up. Of course he'd be more likely to die in an artillery barrage, too.

haha, I was looking for a definitive answer on this the day that I was playing the mission. I wasn't sure if they had to be buttoned up to use the optics or not. Thanks for the tip Mike! I'm gonna roll with that from now on, should solve some of my issues.

Great to see the M60A2 in a wargame finally! It was my favorite tank as a kid. Had a Tamiya 1/35 that was the first thing I ever airbrushed and it looked awesome. So seeing it “in action” is a 45 year old dream of mine :)

Yo, Brojangles, you have got to keep making these types of videos! Combat Mission (all of them) is such a great series and are very underrated and intimidating to many folks, your videos will help grow the community for sure.

The most important detail is the funky 1970s wallpaper n the building interiors! ;-)

yea, that shit funky asf, I noticed that too. Makes me wonder how many buildings have wallpaper similar to that or how many different patterns there are. Either way, Im happy that it is there.

25:46 The stories I've heard, are that due to budgetary restrictions, most training on the M-87s were using dummy rounds or dry firing. The warheads were expensive so live fire testing was rare, 1-2 times a year. Operators therefore were *not* familiar with the actual rocket's kick, and due to being wire guided, often ended up steering them into the ground as they tried to readjust their aim on target.

Pulling the M60A2s back to the high ground (and into good hull down positions there) really makes this a turkey shoot for the NATO side. The Soviet tanks suck at long range plinking and the A2’s will have excellent long range sight lines that allow them plenty of time to wipe out the NME armor with their (somewhat unrealistically reliable) gun-launched ATGMs. When I play this, I force myself to not redeploy the M60A2s beyond the ditch/road area to keep the scenario balanced.

Really impressed by how many shots your M60s took. Usually it's a "one and done" deal with modern tanks in my experience. Also: Were you using the "hide" command on your infantry in buildings? IIRC it does increase their cover, at the cost of much reduced spotting. Might have been useful for your guys without Dragons.

@williamlydon2554 2 жыл бұрын

I wonder if keeping the M-60s on the reverse sloop (since at that long range they can't effectively make kills) and/or moving them after a few rounds "shoot and scoot" style might have kept them alive longer. Monday morning quarterback of me, but just a thought.

I think you can go more hull down with the M60A2s and especially TOW vehicles (as in exposed less). Also changing positions often helps not getting hit. Edit nevermind at the end of the vid the TOWs seemed to be in great positions.

@blueballz2521 2 жыл бұрын

You are absolutely right about the tanks though , I should have took more time putting them into proper hull down.

@paulolsen3034 2 жыл бұрын

@@blueballz2521 The vehicle battle positions along Bundestrasse 2 are vulnerable to Soviet direct fire given the high profile of the M60A2. You mentioned the high ground to the rear of Bundestrasse 2 as an alternate location for your tanks. The wooded areas along that high ground provide observation and fields of fire out to 3000m. This allows you to engage with the M60A2's Shillelagh missiles from hull-down positions out to their maximum effective range. While the conventional rounds have an effective range of 1.5 km, the Shillelagh missiles--in this scenario--have an effective range of 3 km.

@blueballz2521 2 жыл бұрын

@@paulolsen3034 maybe I should have quickly reversed them up to those positions on the high ground early on, no doubt what you are saying is correct , I really should have utilized fully the potential of the shillelagh missiles , esp given how great my tows were from the high ground. Thanks for the tip man!

How were you managing the m150s? Was it target briefly before pulling back? Pause commands? Do they retreat to reload automatically?

They automatically retreat while reloading. Most of the time it’s a nice feature!
