Hi.
I have played and enjoyed the Tigers Bocage scenario a few times now. I always enjoy trying to get Michael Wittmann's tiger to survive to the end, and blowing up as much allied stuff as possible.
The problem I have dicovered in this scenario, is the target selection of the elite tiger is somewhat baffleing at times. I suppose I should have searched this topic, as I am sure it has been covered before. Maybe this is just my frustration showing through. Sometimes when I command my elite tiger to hunt in a certain direction, in pursue of an enemy tank I wind up watching in horror as my elite commander turns his turret 180 degrees facing his backside to chew off some conscript halftrack crews while he is approaching enemy tank units. This is painful to watch, when I am aware of enemy tanks in front of my tank. I start yelling out "no no no...turn turn turn." But it is to late. I then get wacked. I do not know much about the specifics of german armor, but logic tells me that the backside turret is weaker then the frontside.
Elite units are the "best of the best" and are rare. This has lead me to think an elite unit would not make this mistake while pursueing an enemy tank
I would like to have an "ignore this target" order for when you want to directly attack a unit.
What do you think?
