Status: offline 		OK I'm loving the long drawn out firefights using small arms. Very realistic alot of lead flying for few casualties.

However when it comes to AFV's and Guns definitely issues. First I've had two tanks neither moving firing and firing at one another for no hits. Surely after one or two rounds the gunner would have adjusted the sights and hit. Same with Anti Tank guns aswell. Lots of missing esp at stationary targets isn't right. I mean both tanks seemed to be missing, just, yet the aiming seemed to take a very long time to have made what would have been a minor gun adjustment and worse still miss by same margin. Missing each other is even worse if they are right next to each other. A German rifle team just walked casually past my Tank Destroyer who went slowly past the other way. No firing at all or reaction to enemy here.

SO in my opinion small arms fire is great. EVerything else has serious aiming issues.

ALso grenades and HE shells seem to have very poor danger radius. Not noticed difference between HE and shrapnel shells. Visually anyway. Be cool if the ground was damaged\marked after HE blasts.

(Had to install on Sons PC as my PC still has booting game issue)

Then there's other times where it seems to work OK, just had my 37mm AT gun hit 2 out of 4 shots taking out a tank and an armored car at around 300m, then later the same AT gun couldn't hit a stationary armored car, after 8 missed shots i put it back on ambush. The shot was farther 350+m but the earlier shot when it took out the tank, the tank was moving.

This is another battle, the germans rolled an AT gun out on the road to take out my 30cal. I targeted with my 37M, 182 meters, took 6 shots to score a hit. Watching from behind the gun i swear it looks like some shots go into the black, nothing hits the ground around the target that i could see on those shots. I tried to catch the shot in a screen, but no luck. Is the bottom picture a problem? same road as above shot, the armored car comes racing down the road, i target it with the 37m, "steep angle" doesn't fire, range 120m. The line is green all the way. I move the gun halfway down the front of that hill, back up top, never could find a place where it would fire, always "steep angle" that is a sweet firing position for that gun

Steve did you see my post on the F8 key? is that supposed to be active for us users? forget it, saw your answer in the other thread.

Status: offline 		Thanks for the example Budd. I will take a look. Max depression on the US 37mm AT gun is -10 degrees so just eyeballing it that shot at the halftrack looks okay.

If the gunner was consistently 'over' then he probably made an initial range estimate that was too long and walked it back. Enemy AT guns are also fairly small targets to hit so the experience based max accuracy might require a few shots to hit even after he is on range.

my 2 cents....these troops, both german and allied are supposed to be trained and trained well at aiming there heavy weapons. veterans most of them. if a gun crew or a tank has to walk there rounds back like a mortor then theres something wrong IMO. we have had this issue in other CC games.....gun accuracy and hitting the target. if it takes a trained crew 6 shots to hit something at 182m then theres something wrong with accuracy within the game and it should be tweaked....don't you think?

Status: offline 		The thing is that same gun on an earlier battle from the same position did fine, took out a moving AC in 3 shots, the other 37mm gun on the other side hit on 2 out of 4 shots taking out a tank and AC. In this example i was more worried about the steep angle thing.

Not sure i understand, Steam updates automatically on its own without user input. Try verifying your files or maybe uninstalling and reinstalling the game.
