I guess the fact that a PLATOON of M1A2 cannot kill a MG pit is My problem not the ability of the weapon. I'll make sure I tell my brother-in-law to leave his armor support back at the base, because it is useless to them.

LOL... what a joke answer. You are telling me that 4 tanks 50 meter cannot kill much less hit a target??? Are you telling me all the advanced FC and RF and ACC is useless??

I have been playing SP games and wargames for 12 years so don't tell me about what I need to do. I might as well go back to WAW, atleast the WW2 era weapons are pretty consistant. BTW, I've been through the MARINE campaign several time that was fun, glad I didn't have M1's might have been a BIg problem...

Sorry to everyone else for my return rant.

Just for fun I went ahead and built a test scenario using all the factors you gave me . If there is a problem with the game I want to deal with it ASAP.

-"a PLATOON of M1A2"
-"a MG pit"
- "can't even HIT a bunker sitting next to it. Forget KILLING it with one shot"


So I built this sceanrio with three MG pits and each one had a platoon of M1A2's around it with three sitting in the hex directly adjacent to the Mg pit's field of fire with one sitting back one hex further

Now, does that sound similar to the situation you were in? I think I covered everything. The platoon of M1A2 all with top of the line RF and FC. A MG pit as those are size zero and that makes a big difference in hitting and the tanks were directly adjacent to the fortification. That's pretty much what you described in you first email....correct??

Then I fired the M1A2 sitting right in front of the MG pit. All three were "one shot, one kill".
The save game is attached.

Maybe I'm just lucky but that seem unlikely three times in a row.

I'm still interested in your save if you have one. There may be extenuating circumstances that caused your units to miss consistently
