  1. because its pretty striking the slow muzzle velocity of the rounds coming out of that thing. and with several hundred yards to the water-line, i doubt that particular 50mm dealt any damage to the shermans on dog green
  2. How effective would a 50mm AT be against a sherman at this range? (How far up the beach had you made it?) the 50mm was there historically (minor spoiler http://www.battlefront.com/community/showthread.php?t=104438&page=5), but in my playtesting of Blue and Gray, it seemed pretty ineffective at that range (300-400m) against the Shermans of the 743rd. Also there should only be one 50mm in this sector, you may have mistaken one of the two guns!
  3. I think paper tiger is trying to say though that HE shell fired at one, even two troops is not common. that's an MG job. HE as you state is primarily for soft targets, but perhaps more commonly fired at a larger group of infantry, mg nests, buildings, and yes, actually at armor too. HE can be effective against certain parts of tanks, such as sprockets. instantly immobilize a tank. John Irwin describes his use of a 76mm HE to do this when he was unable to penetrate the armor of a late-war German tank in "Another River, Another Town."
  4. diverging from OP and context, but "triggers," my friend. Triggers.
  5. great useful graphs. anyone know what difficulty level the artillery call-in delays are for?
  6. What does your briefing map display over? I didn't do anything specifically, unless one of the mod's i downloaded did that... and heh, yea. I really wanted ppl to feel blue and gray. actually it's the operational map iirc
  7. they do die pretty quickly under fire. maybe its because in the code the gunner/commander is actually the "size" of the entire object, ie the halftrack/tank. very easy to hit. Fanboi rebuttals? "Well, this should be pretty simple to test... Make a scenario with...":D
  8. Great! Considering the 116th regiment had 1000 casualties that day, and 1st Btn > 2nd Btn > 3rd Btn, you did pretty well with 1st Btn.
  9. from not too long ago: http://www.battlefront.com/community/showthread.php?t=103621&highlight=sherman
  10. yea, and with green troops I find myself running the ship tighter, being more patient for the smoke to fall into place, really make sure the mg42 is suppressed before maneuver. it can be good for your "technique" conversely, sometimes I fall into the trap of "they're crack troops, I'll just run them to the next house." Of course the trajectory of the incoming bullet doesn't care what your experience is, if you're in its path, you're a casualty. so sometimes I do better with green troops!
  11. does your system meet the recommended requirements?
  12. maybe you need the v1.10 patch for it to work properly. it was made with v1.10. download the patch. doesn't preclude you from getting commonwealth later
  13. oh no! What's the extension? Are you sure it's a .cam file?
  14. Time out ___ was grogheads.com the big announcement for June 6? ____ Time in
  15. ...where every 100 yards there was 30-50 bodies lying on the beach by day's end. and yes, minefields... that were increased from 40,000 laid per day to over 1 million per day when Rommel took over coastal duties a few months back. :eek:
  16. James Francis Ryan? James Frederick Ryan.... wait, is my brother ok?
  17. yes, it will be interesting to see how ROF of all these groups i've tested is influenced by being suppressed
  18. thanks, and i've found by experimentation, you're absolutely right!
  19. turns out I was less lazy than I thought. Vanir Ausf B is right. Higher experience = higher rate of fire. This experience was conducted in triplicate with standard deviation calculated under 5 conditions. Garand-only infantry squads were ordered to fire at a target 48m away on flat ground with no opposition. The squads were of the following experience, motivation, and leadership, all with full ammunition: as you can see, only experience seems to have an appreciable effect on rate of fire. The graph indicates percent ammo expenditure in one minute. Neither motivation nor leadership seems to have an appreciable effect.
