What objects can block tanks?
« on: January 16, 2011, 06:48:50 AM »

I am interested in making a mission in which a tank buster helps a small band of intrepid soldiers stop or at least delay a tank attack, but I can only find one anti-tank obstacle--that anti-tank hedgehog thing. 

Tanks seem to roll over trenches as if they were flat ground. 

Any thoughts?  Are there other obstacles that tanks have to negotiate their way around?

Does anyone have any good anti-tank missions?

Thank you!

if you're just talking about objects, there are hordes that will block tanks.
if you're talking about objects that actually look like a tank blockade object, there really aren't many...

Yes, sorry, I did mean actual anti-tank obstacles that look like anti-tank obstacles, the sort of thing Rommel might have liked, or the sort of concrete obstructions I sometimes see in movies.  Even an anti-tank ditch would be cool.

Are those out there?

well a more realistic combat out come would be that : lets say there are 5 French Tanks ( not to be confused the portable septic tanks bearing French insignia) bearing down on some vulnerable heine infantry on their way to the Louvre, like in the movie The Young Lions staring Marlin Brando, Dean Martin and Montgomery Clift, well you're just not going to stop all of them, so set way points for some tanks that stop before over running the their target and some that make it beyond the infantry positions only to be disabled or destroyed by anti tank weapons.

If is a mission for down load then the pilots will have to asses the actual situation from the air
and prioritize the deployment of their limited ordinance on the enemy armor assets.

I wish we could set a time out or delay in the light white some from the FMB Objects menu, then say 10 Min after take off and
3 min after arriving on the scene a pilot could target a tank whose way-point went by the smoke -infantry used smoke to help pilots
see where to drop their bombs etc.


I put in the trenches from the FMB menu and then stick pak 37's in them so when the tank crossed the trench it gets hit.

I don't know what you want exactly, but a friend of mine made this:

It was a very good idea.

Objects 715 and 156.

I just use stationary armor to slow down the progress of enemy armor and I can then pick them off better.

Pak 40 artillery is very good because it almost never hits something, hehe. :P
Put some 20mm AA too, they shoot but they can't destroy tanks.
They can destroy cars.
Armored cars are good too.
37mm is deadly against tanks, Allies don't have a chance against him.
