THE MAIN EVENT! Walkure vs. Herroberst

[Der Kuenstler]

Here's a nice veteran tactic - "keep on shooting and something good might happen." Herroberst continues to have his SU-122 area fire on a pile of rubble where a few busted up German infantry are trying to crawl away. Almost incredibly, on second 53 of minute 8, Walkure's lead regular JPz IV gets hit by a chunk of flying debris and becomes gun damaged. The unlucky JPz IV was parked about 35m from the blast zone, and the gun of the vehicle was seemingly protected by the corner of the heavy building - but no - it wasn't. This results in a most colorful and entertaining outburst from the shocked German commander:

"FRUCKing SHIITE !!!! my tank guns get damaged from a HE hit about 40 yds away............" - Walkure

He immeditely orders his now useless vehicle to back out of the fray.



Elsewhere, one of Walkure's Fusilier squads decides sitting in a damaged light building with at least 4 Russian HE guns pointing at it is not a good idea and they run back across the street while they still can. But a Schrek team is in position with armor arc set to help cover their retreat.



A deadly street duel develops - Herroberst calls Walkure out. Walkure's green flanking JPz IV has been informed of a T34 target nearby - he backs up and moves into hull down position facing this regular T34 from 288m distance. Guns are adjusted and the firing goes like this:

- Both fire simultaneously - and both miss.
- Jpz IV fires - Misses again
- T34 fires - Partial pen - no serious damage
- Jpz IV fires - Misses again
- T34 Fires - Front supertructure ricochet

The minute ends, but it's hard to think that even a green JPz IV will miss again after missing three times...
