view from afar

Post by [JiF]Leonidis »

Have any of u ever taken the time to watch the bombing from the B17? Well i did today and it was rather cool. So i decided to watch more battles from afar and seen a rather interesting death. On Guadalcanal i was observing a battle scene from my tank that was takin place atop of the allied base.( on the big hill) So i decided to bombard the base with tank fire. I blew someone in the air (think it was a bot) just as a plane was divebombing the same spot. The guy that flew into the air was struck with the prop of the diving plane. Too bad it didnt chop him to bits. Just thought id share my experience...and if ya get tired of killin the bots....then just sit back n watch em die!!!! It can b rather interesting.......

today i saw a Wolverine (M10) with a bot driver that had somehow gotten on TOP of a leaf camouflage tank canopy. It was amazing to me that a 32 ton tank destroyer could be supported by a foliage laced net, but there it was.

So yeah sure is a fun game to watch as well as play.

I've managed to stick a few jeeps into bunkers by accident, but never a tank. Jeep seems to fast enough to clip through the bunker wall. No idea how a tank would do that as slow as they are.

That last one is too funny.

You know that is the same canopy I saw the M10 on. Battle of the Bulge base right across river from the German start point.
