Dug in tanks

[Ccharge]

Well i know that the british during ww2 used to dig trenches for tanks then soround them with sandbags with only there turret sticking out above ground. Possible on maps like tubruk could some defense positions looks like they dug a trench and put a tank inside it. also the tanks wouldnt be mobile.

Im making test whit that.. but it doesnt works very well.. at least whit the L6/40

But it can be codded like the Ha-Go in Iwo Jima or the Tiger II in Berlin Streets.

Dug in tanks would probably have to be separate vehicles that were immobile.  I'm not sure about this suggestion as it stands, but I think some of the Normandy beach maps could have those tank turrets encased on top of bunkers.  I'd imagine Mudra would know what kinds were used, but I've seen pictures of Pz4F1 and Souma S35 turrets.

And panther turrets. But I only know them from the Westwall.

And not to forget the Ft17 bunker

Ok, its been bugging me for awhile now, Torenico. Where is your sig from? :p

OT, I think that dug-in tanks would be a neat addition, especially in the pacific. As it is now, there are some semi dug-in valentines on that one level (durrr...), but they can be driven out of their positions if need be.

You mean the single valentine at the very south western edge of the Alam Halfa ridge?  Thats hull down, not really dug in at all.

All you gotta do is make fortified positions like that, which have an opening the rear for tanks to drive into.

Yea, its easier to do this on a mapper's side, rather than create a new static gun.

It has been bugging me as well.
I am so surprised to see someone from argentina with that one.

That is from the swedish movei "Kopps", a movie about a small swedish town, were there never are any crimes. Thus the police station is threatened to get closed. The 5 policemen who work there start to commit crimes themselves so that they won't lose their jobs.

That small clip is from when of the policemen tells a story about how he like a hero took care of a couple of (imaginary) robbers.

Sorry for OT, but just have to show.

Here he is again, Benny the Cop.
They are trying to make it look like shots have been fired in the woods, but Benny overdoes it of course.

Later, he has to explain what really happened there in the woods, here's his explanation:

The Pantherturms were used in the west wall, Italy (most common place), and Berlin.  The normandy defenses were mostly french tank turrets, but also some Pz1, Pz2, and Pz4.  The Pz2 turms also saw widespread use in italy.

Yep, we've got that system on the map EJOD Desert too, works fine.

yea i agree with that drive out thing but with that you could serously risk noobs driving tanks to hell never to be seen again and suddenly you relize all you have for defense is some puny 2 pounders and a bofors.
