Default Re: Tank Crew Casualties


Hi Chuck,

Yes I'm sure that typical SP battles are more intense, and at closer ranges than the average WWII engagement. Weren't about half actual WWII casualties caused by artillery?

That said, most of my tank losses in 1944 have been to 75mm or 50mm guns; I do recall losing 1 of those 20 tanks to a Tiger.

I'm sure you're also right about lower crew survival for tanks that burn, but all the data seems to indicate I should be getting higher crew survival than I am.

Keep in mind that I retire crews to the rear ASAP, I almost never use them for scouting etc.

I think I'll continue to watch and record my crew survival rate.

cheers
Cross
