Dont you hate it in men of war when a single valentine snipes 3 Panzer III Ausf Gs , taking fire from 2 of them and having all the shots bounce? yea me too...

Not to mention all the panzer III Ausf Fs i lost to instant one shots through the frontal armor by a valentine...

British tanks are invulnerable, unless you are using them yourself.

I hate cheating AI...it's more and more common these days...having the enemy AI on the highest difficulty doesn't make them smarter, they just get endless resources and unrealistic luck.

Just had a game on COH with Blitzkrieg mod. A Sherman takes out my Jagdpanzer from the front in one shot. Not a Firefly mind you.

Arrowhead, BAF.

Second mission, I order the Engie out to clear the mines. He sets to on the first one and then some Mujies pop up from the rocks and open fire. They are quickly silenced, but then one of the Warrior IFVs has a bright idea and maneuvers forward and to the right, straight into one of the active mines, killing not only itself but my Engineer too.

Great work treads...great work...

Forgotten Hope 2

Operation Totalize

So, there I was sitting on a road overlooking a river in my little StuG III with a Panther sitting a bit further up the hill behind me. On the other side of the river was the Allied route of advance, and between myself and the Panther we had already seen off two or three Shermans and a couple of Cromwells. It had gone quiet for a while, and I figured that most of the tank drivers on their team had figured that trying to take that route was a good way to get killed...so I thought, "I'll advance up to the next hill and hide myself near some wrecked static German vehicles to get the drop on any advancing tanks!"
So, I put the StuG into gear and rolled through the ford and up the other side of the river, and up the hill, and was just about to move myself into position near the wrecks when BLAM, I exploded.
What the hell killed me?

The bloody Panther.

He must have been blind not to have seen me cross the river and head up the hill, or stupid...

Operation Flashpoint, 1985

There was this mission where I tagged along with an engineer to lay AT mines on a road somewhere. Then the two of us had to lay in wait for a Russian armor column to roll through and hit our mines. Our job from there was to mop up anything that survived. OFP AI being as it is, when the tanks rolled in my commander took it upon himself to fire a LAW at point blank range into the side of a passing tank. The resulting blast blew us both to shreds and the mission was a failure. Mandatory retry -- or IRL terms, a white headstone inscribed with my service branch, name and rank at the hometown cemetery. "Here lies krashkart, blasted to bits by dumb AI..."
