German Elefants = BS

[v8cobra99]

Dear Slitherine. I have been a war history buff and your customer for a few years now. I finally want to say something about how you programmed the German Elefant Anti-Tanks. Your programmers could not have gotten those units more WRONG. Their analysis of those units are by far the worst. Maybe you need to consult Google and do some more research. Lets start with the facts on those. They were UTTER junk, designed by Porsche ...They were non-rolling mechanical break-down junk. Of the total qty 114 ever made, only a few ever saw any action. Due to their massive 70ton weight, they were slow and could not roll 5 miles without breakdowns, Fact. You programmed them to cost 600 pts. What BS !!! Their cost should be more like 1,500, especially since they were so expensive in real life, and especially at that time of the war. Next, they had zero defensive measures. Infantry should destroy or apply much more heavy damage on those regardless of terrain yet they only do 1 or 2 pts of damage in clear ground even with multiple infantry attacks. BS. Then, your Elefants run around the maps in advancing in attack modes as if they were M1A2 Abrams. They were freaking anti-tanks with no turrets... they should not be allowed to run and attack, without a turn of setup, because that would be more real....
Come on Slitherine... do some research.

This is the wrong forum as it's not a technical problem and you posted it anyway already in the main forum so i am closing here.
