Shoot and scoot

There's no actual S/S order in CMBN, but you can make your own and it works much better than CM1's as this test breathtakingly illustrates..
This enemy Panther comes trundling down the road frightening the hens, and stops.

Little does he know a Sher is lurking behind the barn-

Let's kick ass! First we slap a covered arc on the Sher to point the gun smack at the Panths side; the trees are too thin to block LOS-

Hit key 7 to get top view, then zoom in with mouse wheel, this is always the best view for precision move plotting.
Give him a 'Slow' waypoint.
(Ignore the wonky green base, it's a new mod I'm trying)-

Now click the white blob on the end of the waypoint to make it glow, then click the Pause button to throw in a 5-second pause-

Right-click an empty area of map to get a clean slate, and issue a Reverse order to take him safely back behind the barn-

Okay he's all tooled up ready to strut his stuff, so start the turn-

Bingo, the gun swings to face the arc as he motors out and stops. He's got a 5-second pause to look around, pick up the target and fire, and that's exactly what he does, bless his little heart!-

and after the 5 secs are up he reverses back for tea and medals..

So how was your day guys?

SUMMARY- you can of course do S/S over ridgelines, or from behind trees or smoke etc, and you can make the Pause longer if you like (every click of the Pause button adds more time).
The test was in bright sunny conditions so maybe a longer pause would be needed at night or on a dull rainy day to give your boy more time to spot and fire.
also a longer pause would give him time to get off more than one shot. But remember it'll also give the enemy more time to spot and shoot at you too.
Noob note- Usually only do S/S against a target that's side-or-rear on to you, as the last thing you want is to emerge from cover and find yourself staring down his gun barrel or at his thick slab of front armour. Also, think twice about making a turretless Stug do S/S because it'll use up a lot of its pause time pivoting to bring its gun to bear.

Yes, does seem to work pretty well. Thanks for telling us! :RpS_thumbsup:
