Bug? Retreating from bomber attack

[zovs66]

The only 'reality' argument I can throw in and this was with regards to modern warfare, I was a driver in an M1A1 tank, and our morale, experience and training prepared us for combat with infantry, artillery, mechanized infantry (BMP's, etc.) and other tanks and even to some extent (maybe due to inexperience) how to deal with helicopters (Hind-Ds, we were trained to shoot our 50 cals at them), and on the field of battle the two things we as tankers feared the most were ATGMs and Jets, we absolutely hated jets. We had no defense against them (other to rely and pray that the AAA that was supposed to support us did their job).

On Reforger one time we were attacked by infantry, mock bmp's and T-72s, artillery and helo's, no problem, but when the jets started bombing us our whole tank company panicked and was driving like madmen trying to get into the forest and escape the death of jets, it was crazy, we lost all military bearing at that point.

In real war, artillery is more pronounced, meaning you can't really train for it, when the real deal comes down. Most especially if it's not your own. Thank the good Lord that all the Arty anre air power that I saw was from our side hitting the bad guys. It was scary as hell in one firefight one night where we had our own choppers supporting us and they were 15 to 25 feet above our turrets, I can tell you the pucker factor is very high, and the whole tank company did not fancy movement away from under the umbrella of those choppers for fear they would also hit us.

Crank the clock back 40-50 years and I am sure the same can be said for those folks back then. Maybe not as intense without the precision stuff, I don't know for sure.
