I am doing research for a game modification, and found some extremely useful information archived in this forum that answered a few questions already. However, some still remain, and I was hopeful that I could get them answered.
In a thread here, I found out that the general distribution for a 75mm Sherman variant was 70% HE, 20% AP and 10% WP. This was actually very close to an estimate we already had in place, just reversed for HE/AP.
Where can I find an approximate loadout for more vehicles, from other nations?
Also, how would specialty munitions factor into the distribution, such as HVAP, APDS and APCR?
I also found out that the general issue of HVAP was 1-3 per Tanks 5-10 per Tank Destroyer and for APDS was 5-10 per Tank. How many rounds of APDS would be distributed to anti-tank crews (both towed and self-propelled), and would the American 57mm Gun M1 have about the same issued to them?
I found that Panthers and Tigers would generally have 1-2 rounds of APCR, would they be the only ones using them? I think I saw that 5cm PaK38 crews still used APCR through the end of the war, would any other PaK crews use APCR or was that restricted somehow?
I probably have more questions, as I am very eager to research these details for use in our game modification. I thank you in advance for any information that can be shed on the subject!
