Allied crocks are invincible. Well they can be taken out by Scheck’s but seem impervious to all other weapons. I noticed this in abbey d’ardenne had a pzt division defending against an allied BG attacking into them. German Armored BG had mark 1v’s pz3 flamers ever flak 36 88 all got the black target. I couldn’t believe it when a pz3 flamer got a black circle 35 meters away; hit him twice with the flame then promptly the crock turned and fired its gun and blew up the pz3. Is this some kind of error? Avre’s have the green target (same chassis with a HUGE gas tank on it no?)
I recently bitched about german teams not being able to go toe to toe against allied infantry.... WHAT ABOUT TANKS? I am playing a public GC as germans and I almost dont even want to bother taking a tank; a schreck has a much better chance then a gun or a tank in protecting my troops against armor
I love overlord for how the Allies do have more options with infantry and how the allies dominate and get off the beach. I am just trying my best as german commander to save my forces and wear down the allies. My biggest concern is I cannot dominate any open field as germans.

dima pointed out to me the crocodile is a late model churchill, think a mk7, as the avre and 75mm churchills are mk3/5 and have much less armour.
the mk7 has some huge armour thickness, and only the pak88 can penetrate(and obviously the shreck from what is said) though GJSv44 its not as accurate as it should be, dimas TRSM mod the croc and flail tank are impervious to 75mm shells. i personally got lucky ,front on at 400M against a panther VG with a flail tank. and only time i loose crocs in to close crecks and 88mm paks(not flax or L56 tiger 1)
hmm thx tack that explains alot. I suppose I am wondering where all the crappy shermans are in overlord! seems to be very few; with some allied BGs getting 3/4 crocks they are just as unstopable as a panther division.

in v30, crocs armor is reduced. flak88 hits harder. allies a little less tanks, germans a little more. allies a few 25pdrs and 17pdrs removed. less rifle grenades for both sides. some other edits as well. hope i find the balance this time.
