Muzzle Blast can Kill! (a MoW:AS PSA) - General

[video=youtube;k_bCv5sxpzU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_bCv5sxpzU[/video] now that's something that I haven't seen in any other Strategy game... ever

I've never seen this ingame before. Interesting.

[QUOTE=Tark;34019988]I've never seen this ingame before. Interesting.[/QUOTE] I discovered it by accident when I spammed 7 hummels and had them firing away at a target, some weapon crews started taking damage and dying.

Thats damned realistic

other video in that "series" [video=youtube;PKhA-X_Ntv0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKhA-X_Ntv0&feature=related[/video]

To be honest, I wouldn't call MoW an RTS, it feels like it's closer to simulation. Very good game (series) though. Or maybe something like Real Time Tactics Simulation, RTTS?

Theatre of War is a [b]true[/b] simulation, with tanks shooting each other at 1000m ranges, not the 170m-ish max range of Men of War

And I said "closer to simulation". Either way, MoW series is RTT, not RTS.

Trotskygrad, I guess you haven't heard of Achtung Panzer: Kharkov 1943 or Combat Mission: Battle for Normandy. Both of them I consider high end sims and are true RTT's

Graphics leave things to be desired though compared to ToW 2/3 looked at Achtung Panzer, seems nice.
