[TANKS] Re: Gettysburg 2014OCT26 battle reports - Battle 3, Bazooka Joe
It seemed there were as many cameras as assets on the battlefield and Bazooka Joe was no exception. This video http://youtu.be/555qt4PBXpI includes a lot of side-by-side footage and some nice sequences of most of the the tanks. The side-by-side starts perfectly synchronized but gradually slips. It runs just over 30 minutes. View full screen for best results. Reply with your favorite moments (including timestamps). This battle was on a relatively small field (about 20 x 40 yards). The usual 4-shot kill rule was in effect, but an asset could only hit another asset once. Frontal hits don't count (except from the Bazooka). The one-shot-one-kill for the Bazooka was NOT in effect. He was positioned about mid-field on the sideline. Highlights: - Abomination dancing up a tree - Bad Kitty doing the herky-jerky - Several hits by Bazooka Joe, including 3 out of 4 shots in just over a minute - Lots of chatter - Lots of background sounds, including frenetic volleys as time expires Please let me know of any corrections or suggestions. Feedback is welcome. -- -- You are currently subscribed to the R/C Tank Combat group.

At 18:17 there is great footage of a paintball in flight in the sunlight and hitting the Abomination on the tread just below the left idler. If you set playback speed to 0.25 and toggle play/pause you can catch the ball in flight and the hit. -- -- You are currently subscribed to the R/C Tank Combat group.

This video brought back bad memories... I could only watch for 5 min! Bazooka Joe was way too efficient! -- -- You are currently subscribed to the R/C Tank Combat group.

[TANKS] First Event of the day
And it was to be, FOOTBALL. Four on four, three blockers and a quarterback. Quarterback moved the ball, tackled by being hit anywhere one time. Teams: Ravens- Will, Frank, Steve and Joe Baltimore NFL Stallions- Paul, Loic, Doung and John Baltimore CFL Teams would start on their goal line, the advance to the next set of cones to achieve the first down. Play would be 4 8 minute quarters. Ravens won the toss, and unlike the NFL to day, elected to have the ball. Joe and the Hetzer played quarterback while the Semovente, SU100and Cromwell blocked. Game started off slowly while we figured out the strategies. Halfway through their first possession we realized something was up. They definitely had backing from the pros. It ended shortly thereafter. rctankfootball part one rctankfootball part one View on youtu.be Preview by Yahoo The Stallions then started on their goal line. Seeking inspiration to overcome the Ravens backing we listened to some uplifting music from Loic's Tiger. Sadly neither the French National Anthem not the Italian National Anthem seemed to be working. Playing quarterback was not easy. Aside from my tank taking paint, at these close ranges the shins were taking a beating . In addition to avoiding the opfor you had to watch out for teammates. I myself, not my tank, ran into the SU100 during and end run. The break in the action was a 3 minute time out while the M-60 was carted off the field of play. Not to return. Broken leg, front idler axle . So Paul's Panzer II came on as a replacement. Lucky we had a player on the bench. At one point I tried to go over the Semovente, did not work. The front 3 of the Ravens played havoc with us the entire time. Finally though, a tune came over TBS ( Tiger Broadcast System) lifted our spirits, yeah I was tired at this point of grinding out the first downs ,and we were able to tie the score. And it was decided to end the first event. rctankfootball part two a rctankfootball part two a View on youtu.be Preview by Yahoo -- -- You are currently subscribed to the R/C Tank Combat group.

Looks good, John! That Tiger sure does have a good sound system. ;) On Friday, October 31, 2014 8:31:33 PM UTC-4, jvragu47 wrote: And it was to be, FOOTBALL.

Nice video, Mike! I've edited the video that I took, and should have it on Youtube tomorrow.
