How do you improve PzB???

[Wodin]

In regards to that Teterevino scenario, no self respecting tanker will sit in one place and get shot at by massed fire. In that scenario, he should fall back immediately, limiting his exposure. That is the key too: exposure. You limit your exposure to the majority of the enemy force, and move to an area where you can get key hole or stand off shots.

Speaking of that particular scenario, I played it (against the AI mind you) and didn't lose a single Tiger, and the Russians lost 28 tanks. Of course most of the tanks kills were from AT guns and everything else, not just the tigers, but the key was falling back and moving around in the town between 5,11 and 6,11.

Beyond that, I think everyone agrees that kills in JT games have always revolved around numbers in firing unit and target unit, maybe some sort of separation can be made there one day for units < 3 vehicles or guns, that would certainly be an improvement. But the question has always been how?

That said, it would be nice if there were hull down mechanics at work, such as a tank on a higher elevation is considered to be "hull down" and has twice the protection. You never really see the effect in game (no status message on the unit, etc) it just inherently happens. But hey, I figure let's all play it a bit more before any actionable suggestions can really be made. ;)

Just my two cents...

Isn't hull down something that might not really work at this scale of hex? Unless the game actually pinpointed each individual tank within a hex and maybe modeled minor elevation changes within the hex. Though if it was in using some sort of die roll for each tank to see if it is in a hulldown position it would be cool if we where told about it.
