Pictures in
this sequence taken from Wild Bill's excellent Saving Private Ryan
inspired "Ramelle" scenario.
Now this shot
shows off the new textures for the Tiger. Notice the darker
colors and of course the newer orangish-red tracer color for the Axis
forces. Poor .30 cal team got caught crossing the road.
Ok, so
this picture doesn't have any Fighter-bombers in it. Just be
quite and enjoy the view!
Now on to the
fun. Here we see a fighter-bomber's rocket spread falling just a
little shy of the target but that building is gonna need some new
windows after those blasts. Look below the Tiger and you can see
that ominous shadow again. You get real used to spotting those
after a few turns of constant aerial attack. Seems that MG team
made it to cover...
Again we see
the shadow as it passes by the Tiger. The smoke from the two
remaining rockets is just visible above the building. Check out
the much nicer building textures too!
HIT!
Unfortunately they built this Tiger pretty tough and it shook off these
concussions and continued toward the bridge ahead. Rocket attacks
often leave crews shocked and vehicles immobilized due to track
damage. In this case though, the tank was bound and
determined to bury one little Private name of Ryan!
Beautiful
isn't it? Burning buildings, German heavy tank,
shadow of death looming near, rocket trails gracefully heading
toward their intended victim. Ahhh...Excuse me... I got something
in my eye here (sniff sniff)...
Here is a
better perspective of the final moments of this little Tiger that
could, but didn't. After these rockets hit home (and they
did!) the Tiger was immobilized and the scenario ended with Private
James Ryan still very much alive!
Now for rest of
series (Starting Tomorrow) the odds are bit more even...
Two separate
scenarios were custom built featuring an entire 12 plane American
squadron versus German convoys with attached and static AAA
protection! Watch the skies as they are going to explode!
Come back tomorrow!!!
How about a
teaser you say? Hmmm....Ok
AAA assets will
automatically target incoming planes and they tend to do it quite
well! This quad 20 fired several bursts into the fighter bomber
and made it abort its attack.
