Panzer Group South vs the Dingo

Ok, so I'm rushing across the low countries when my panzers encounter a Daimler Dingo recon. Should be an easy kill right? Wrong. This thing desimated my panzers including my so called elite unit. Seriously?

I did a quick test, and PzIIIF has 2:4 expected losses against Dingo. I guess, PzIV and elite PzIII have even better odds.

So not sure what happened in your case. If you see any strange combat outcome, press L to see combat details, this might explain what's going on. If anything in the details window looks wrong to you, tell us about it.

Thanks. I'll keep that tip in mind.

For a Dingo with an AT-rifle MK I are those odds too high!! (advantage for a Dingo!)

Sorry guys just MHO...

Advantage goes to PzIIIF, it kills 4 and loses 2. More specifically, PzIIIF has kill chance of 44% and Dingo - 19%.

thats how it goes sometimes, even attacks you should win, can go badly. Thats just the element of luck that everyone has, good or bad.lol No attack is a sure thing

i guess i shouldn't go walking in any lighting storms then...

i'd really like to know the mathmatical odds of a Dingo desimating 3 panzers. if it wasn't for the air power i divereted, he probably would have finished off my tanks.

When you were rushing... did you get ambushed?

I have seen the Dingo get lucky, but not very often.

Could also have been rugged defense?

The first Panzer did get ambushed and I lost a couple of kills. That was fine. But my other 2 panzers should have killed him easily. But they got hammered. Then in the next turn all 3 panzers fired and all got desimated. There was no rugged defense and I should have had a huge advantage for mass attack. I'd say that dingo got real real lucky. I was so afraid of this thing i had to divert airpower to help finish him off. jeezzz.
