Default Re: oddity when arty shoots at loaded infantry / gun

But why the loaded guns gets destroyed 9 out of 10 times?

I could agree if the artillery fire lands in the same hex as my vehicle (when fast arty is off you see by the explosion where the strike did land). Then it`s just splinters and bad luck.

But sometimes (with fast arty off) out of an arty strike only one explosion landed adjecent to my truck (= more then 50m away). Destroyed was the gun, it`s crew killed and the truck not even scratched nor buttoned.

When you shoot with infantry at a truck, the loaded gun only gets destroyed when the truck get`s casualties first. So the truck was hit and the "passenger" damaged. With arty it`s different and I wonder why.

Cheers
