The problem is, is that the ww2 anti tank rocket based weaponry didn't have much of a backblast.  Sure it would be a bit unpleasant to stand behind it, but definitely not lethal.   The reason why it didn't have a backblast to speak of, is because the rounds were fairly small (2.36" or 60mm for bazooka, and 3.5" or 88mm for the schrek).  They were also intended to be used much, much closer to their target than the modern day counterparts, specifically the AT-4, SMAW, RPG-7, and so on. 

This again comes back to using modern day weapons to draw conclusions about ww2 weaponry.  You just cant do it.  They just arent the same, and more often than not ww2 weapons are much less powerful than their modern day counterparts.

Actually, the manuals on the Panzerfaust alone state that the backblast can kill at a range of 3 meters.

Often the center flag is hold, but as soon as the left flank falls it's all over. The center gets attacked from the side and wipes the defenders from that flag as they often are unaware of the flag change. Once retreated to the bottom flags, the right flank falls soon after. When they get hold of command center the battle is basically lost. Also, when I meant 'lose the map' I meant that the Germans get pushed back to one or two flags, not so much concerning ticket amount.

Time for a movie it looks to me, here you have a tast done a long time ago, showing what hapens when i fully gassed up, and loaded tank gets hit by en AT rocket, and not one of those huge javalin rockets that level a house, lol, but somthing more WW2 tech.

I have seen other footage as wel over the years on the internet, (cant find it at the moment tough) of old test done in the 50's and 60's and you rarely see big explosions, more like a hit, and then 5 seconds later or so the turret jumps up and you see some high pressure flames and a lot of smoke, nothing more

Dont really know what the difference would have been with open hatches, nor how many of the penetrations axtually made the tank light up, nor the damage on the inside of a tank after penetration. All i have seen in damage op hits on old WW2 tanks in museums and monuments (like the sherman in Bastogne, it was not welded up so i climbed in it a long time ago to see what that 88mm hole in the side did to the rest of the tank, pretty nasty)

It was a good movie, simple story but beautifully made, and you guys who admire work done by other people, like your very own mod team, should admire those graphics as well ...
*Runs like hell*

I admire FH2, they are honest and fair in their work, Cameron isn't.

But, (and it's a "I like big buttz and I cannot lie") if the notion is that Cameron regurgitated an age old classic tale, then surely FH2 as a mod is equally guilty of the same sentiment against WW2.

(btw it's my birthday everything I say on this day is right and you are not allowed to disagree)

Congratulations and true words are spoken. The plot in this movie doesn't matter, it's more about the way it is told.
Which movie has an original plot anyway these days, all stories all already told.
