Has any of you guys tried Panzer Elite? It is a WWII Tank simulation. Kind of difficult to play.
You are the gunner in a German tank. The sight has these couple of triangles, which give you the distance of the enemy tank. I guess I got frustrated very quickly and just played it a couple of times.
I am soooooo used to the "center, laser-range, lock, fire" that it drove me nut trying for hour to figure out which triangle to use. I was wondering how the Germans were so accurate. Then, a couple of days ago I saw a documentary in the History Channel that said that the Germans tested thousands of soldiers and only the few that were the best at using those sights became tank crew.
If they would have simplified their sight, which was the best, they might have been able to field more tanks.
The American sights, I understand, were two images that one moved together with a knob and fired once they were super-impossed.
Do you imagine a Tiger, with a flat trajectory 88 equipped with an Abrams M1 target acquisition system? If as it was with those stupid triangles they were blasting away Shermans . . .
What about the 5cm in the Panzer III, but with depleted uranium core darts? Su much for the KV's and Txx's.:D
