Shoot at Tracks Ability

[samuelch]

At rifles, bazooka, at guns, panzergrenadier (have pzfaust), and Pzschreck have an ability called shoot tracks. This ability will reduced tanks speed by 1 for 2 turns and deal 7 damage to them.

I think immobilise is too much.
either give a chance to do it or just make it so that they slow tanks (stackable).

[samuelch]

-1 speed sounds good.

[makazuwr32]

That is more like it.
More realistic.

[Belfry777]

I like the immobilization better, though it would be a chanced hit.

[makazuwr32]

With few shots from several at squads you can immobilize tank.
Remember - they are stackable.

[Belfry777]

not in game right now but hopefully they will be in after this topic.

[samuelch]

Should the slowed effect disappear by itselves? Or can only be fixed.

[makazuwr32]

This ability will reduced tanks speed by 1 for 2 turns and deal 7 damage to them.

[Belfry777]

I think it could be fixed.

[makazuwr32]

of course in must be fixable but also can dissapear by itself.

[Belfry777]

yes I agree so what is the hold up for this update?

[samuelch]

This also available for infantries with at grenades, but with long cooldown instead of none.

Chance of immobilisation is much better than certainly of being slowed down.

More realistic
More uncertainty
More fun

[andysensei]

Good idea.

Perhaps this idea could lead to a possible other option...The capture and repair, not destruction, of immobilized tanks by the other side. This way you might be able to have a T-34 or Sherman on your side occasionally as the German, or a Panzer 4 or a Panther on your side as the Russian or British player.

Perhaps this could happen (automatically or at a 50% chance ( as in the priest in AoS)) if there is an immobilized tank with one (or two) opposing infantry units right on it, and no other friendly unit there to protect it.

I don't agree that it should bring it's healthbar down, because the infantry aren't really shooting tank components vital to keep it's crew alive or maintaining the tank's structure.

[samuelch]

Ok. Should it -1 speed or more than that? I think -1 speed doesn't really affect much. Or for at cannons, it will be immobilizing.

[Puss_in_Boots]

I'm all for AT cannon incentives, so I say, go ahead.

[samuelch]

Rocket launchers infantry including panzergrenadier (pzfaust) and at cannons have ability called shoot at tracks. This will immobilize a tanks for 2 turns. Tanks without turret can't attack.

[Panchinarodestro]

What about a chance? Like if a unit passes on a mine it will take the damege and a 100% chance dameged trucks, if a at rifle hit its a 40% and if itz a panzerfaust or a at grenade is 60%.

If will happer it can be appear a message that say "commander, trucks dameged!"

[samuelch]

I am not really keen on chances. I am trying to reduce luck based in the game.
