Hi!

I have playing now some time Winter War mod and now I noticed that boys don´t acquire kills. Surprisingly they are my main defence against tank. Mostly my 37mm AT-guns fail. But ATR-rifles stays hidden and stops or destroys tanks and guns. Problem is that they don't get kills and don´t gain experience. Is there reason for that or is it bug?

Otherwise it is wonderful. Now I am struggling against t-100 prototype tank. That 2 turret monster is roaming everywhere after it shot my AT-gun.

Regards!

Some of your questions you could have answered for yourself with Google or other search engines.

The Boys AT rifle fired a 13.9mm projectile that could only penetrate 16 to 19mm of RHA steel. It kicked like a mule, was louder than a rock band and was very heavy. The poor sods armed with it were as afraid of it as they were of the tanks that they were supposed to shoot it at.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boys_anti-tank_rifle

Leave your AT guns alone. Set them in a position with some cover and a good field of fire. Place them on either Ambush (if close to where the enemy tanks may appear) or Defend (if over 100m from where the enemy tanks may appear). Then leave them alone. Let them fight the battle. If you give an AT gun an order to fire, it will be spotted immediately and probably be killed. Left alone, they can often make several kills and survive the battle.

Hi!
Thank you for Your reply. I couldn't find related subject in this forum. I was asking game related question not real world performance. And yes I am well aware that Boys could penetrate most winter war Russian tanks which were mainly early 30's desings. I was only asking why they don't aquire kills in their roster and don't gain experience.

I leave my AT-guns mainly alone and try to put them good ambush positions, but often they shoot several shots that don't penetrate and get killed. And I am now speaking of winter war mod. I admit that I am not very well skilled player, but thats better because AI-gives me more challenge. Another thing that I found in this mod that gun crews are wery reluctant to expend their he-ammo. Of course that was thing also in real winter war when artillery ammo was scarse in Finnish Army.

do you get credit for crew kills? sometimes instead of getting credited with tank kills you only get crew kills if killed / injured one by one, or credited with nothing if the tank is abandoned. and you have to forgive schrecken, its obviously her time of the month.
