Scenario: ZOMG! - Nazis!!

[Aeraaa]

@MObhack, I doubt even post '68 tanks are invurnerable to Panther's cannon. To my dismay, I've learned that an early era M1 can be killed by close range flank shots from a Zsu-57, so Panther should have a chance (REALLY small, but still a chance...)

Depends if the panthers move fast and expose themselves to such SPAT's,,if they hold still or move slowly useing the reverse slope "pop up tatic" they can get alot shots in and still have enough MP's to scoot if needed.

You should use your infranty guarding your armor, to spot those pests.

Btw an M1 is far superior to a panther with much discussion needed.

I'd say a Panthers chance of a frontal kill at over 750 meters against an M60A1 is between exceedingly slim and next to none,with slim pulling away from the dock. The L/71 from the Tiger II had little to no effect against these same tanks shooting from 1000 meters of more. In the first scenario I modified,it was pretty much of a turkey shoot. The defense factor of 26 for the front of the hull and turret seems to be key here. I tried this scenario 3 times and the results were uniformly one sided on behalf of the M60A1.

Keep your distance and it's a slaughter.

One last try at modifying this excellent scenario by Andy. This one is a lot closer to his original Zombies in terms of main gun tubes by the U.S Army. M1128's with the 105 M68 98 cannon,with infantry support from M1126 Strykers and Stryker squads,minus their the Javelin missle system.

Only 17 main guns in this attempt,plus 2 M60A3 vehicles coming in reserve in turn 5(I never used them). I got a marginal victory as the U.S.,4256 to the Zombies 1039. The scenario ended during turn 5,I lost 2 1126 Strykers and had the main gun disabled on two M1128 vehicles. The Zombies had practically all of their fleet destroyed.
