Some Observations on the Role of the M24 Chaffee
Proceeding West to set up for Passive Scouting.
Arrived at initial Passive Scouting spot, checking concealment of tank.
Crew Camouflage skill is at 100%. Vents, Camo Net and Binocs equipped.
Checking status and location of fire support.
Panther II spotted at 300+m.
Panther II has nearly 400m view range. Moderate risk of being detected at current range.
Holding fire to retain camo bonus.
Wolverine spotted at 370+m. Minor risk of being detected.
Opening fire. Assuming no other enemy tanks are close enough to detect us.
Possible location of remaining enemy tanks assessed, proceeding to next passive scouting location.
Using foliage ahead to mask the approach.
Another Panther II spotted.
Range 124m.
Despite the close range, we remain undetected due to excellent camo factor.
None of the supporting friendly tanks have been fired upon so far.
They were able to provide fire support from a safe distance and remain undetected.
Note: whenever possible, destructable objects are avoided to keep from giving away our position.
Friendly SU-100 has advanced too far forward and revealed itself to the enemy.
However it also prompted the enemy to open fire and reveal themselves to us.
Moving in to flank and engage the T34 in order to distract it.
T34 attempts to counter turn its turret, we reverse direction to avoid its gun.
Action is repeated again.
This time the T34 traverses its hull in a desperate attempt to catch up.
Proceeded to raid enemy's rear after allowing self a pat on the back on All Chat :-)
Grille detected near the T-34.
Enemy T-34 lost mobility, changing focus to ensure own survival.
Proceeding across to flush out remaining defenders.
Using irregular terrain for cover.
Shot by camouflaged enemy, possibly one of the Tank Destroyers.
Attempted to warn friendlies of the location of hidden enemies.
Despite the warning, a friendly SU-100 drives into the enemy's view.
Proceeded to provide fire support for capping friendlies.
One of the missed shots on the M10 had hit the M4A3E8 while it was hidden!
