    Greatest Submachine Gun of WWII

    in Combat Mission: Afrika Korps

    Posted

    Thats from the World of Guns Site (Russian) about the PPSch41:

    The main advantage of the PPSch-41 was bigger effective range (when compared to both Allies and Axis submachineguns of that era). It also was accurate enough and reliable. The main drawbacks were: heavy weight, lenght (too big for trench combat or for mobile operations) and the fact that the gun was sometimes prone (especially when weared enough) to unintended fire when dropped
    My oppinion about the MP40 in comparsion: Its not the designed überweapon, but it fits all needs and you can equip all branches without drawbacks with it (Fallschirmjaegers, Tankers, Supporting Units..ect.).

    As a "normal" Foot Soldier, you cant choose the environment where you have to fight...in Towns, Woods, in the open...ect. the best Weapon is the one who makes the best in all conditions....

    For me, the PPSch...and Thompson are Weapons between MPs and Assault Riffels.... The Greesgun and MP40 are more the PDWs they are intended for.

    Armour. How has it progressed???

    @redwolf

    That is the incident from August I was talking about.

    Stinking normal RPG HEAT.

    Are you sure?? Hardly to belive, that a HEAT "Round" will go thrue two sides of a Tank. Maybe we mean two different things. Also the 7mm Hole looks to me a bit small vor a HEAT impact.

    Maybe I'm missing the joke here. [/quote

    I would also miss the joke, if i see the things in black&white like you.

    Yes...the Chinese have dozens of Abrahams parked in China :rolleyes:

    I did only rephrase the opinions from the origin author who sayed, that only the USA, Israel, Russia and China do work on such Projekts.

    Maybe the old regime got some single weapons...who knows? Did anyone remember the stopped delivery from a Artillery piece that was sold to Bagdad from a German Companie? Its several jears ago...but wasnt it also a High-Tech piece?

    I read some days ago about an incident in Iraq, that a Abrahams was pennetrated by a unidentified Weapon. They sayed, that a Hole from 7mm was made on the entry (they didnt mention the side of the tank) and the Bullet or whatever did exit on the other side of the tank.

    Did someone have further information?

    An elektromagnetic Weapon "Railgun" comes to mind....but even the USA did not field such a Weapon....maybe the Chinese tested something new in Iraq?

    Why Do IS-1s Back Away From German Heavies?

    in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin

    Posted

    What does me more anoys beside the slavic "Untermenschen" behavior...is, that my Panthers need 20 rounds (on longer Distances) to hit those for- and backward cowardycing T-Somethings, where it can hit and kill normaly with 3-4 rounds if it stay still on one place.

    What does me too wonder, that those WWII Tanks start from 0-40 like a Ferrari....and with the real turning radius from the different tanks, the game would look a lot more different.

    Vehicles in CMAC turn faster than in CMBB?

    in Combat Mission: Afrika Korps

    Posted

    What does wondering me is the relativ low energie loss. The pennetrating stats dropped only from 500-1000m 12mm to 17mm 1000-2000m. I was beliving the kinetik energie will drop mutch faster if the target is farther away. Or did you forgot the 1500m stat?

    Also its hard to belive, the difference between 0-500 (loss is 11mm) and 500 to 1000m (loss is 12mm) is only 1mm.

    Btw. its interessting to know how long it takes for the sherman to get penetration stats on targets 2000 meters away? with two trucks of ammo?

    :D

    British Penetration Stats for German Guns

    in Combat Mission: Afrika Korps

    Posted

    Hi Lorrin,

    isnt it be more helpfull, if we would know the brinnell hardness of the testing Plates? The differences for the 88/L56 Tank gun are astonishing high....maybe they used different Plates, maybe also in the size?

    Wasnt there a thread before, with the meaning, a targeting Plate from lets say 2x2 meters is in the center less ressistant than a 50x50cm one?

    If i understand it right, you suggest, the German testings are more right than the english ones...?

    I dont know the circumstances both or other countries conduct her tests, but doesnt they whereupon respect also weather/wind conditions? A strong head wind will blow off your estimatings especialy on longer ranges.

    Whats with barrel wearing...maybe the Brits used strong weared barrels and the german new ones...as to say.." fresh from the Factory"? Does this made differences too?

    Maybe you can lighten this up...

    Greetings

    Sherman 75/L38 penetration: Has BFC’s bibliography improved since CMBB?

    in Combat Mission: Afrika Korps

    Posted

    The long barrelled (L50) 6pdr has only just got 100mm penetration at 1000yds, whicle won't hurt the front of a Tiger 1

    From the side though, it's a different matter.

    If we stay correct, its 101mm ;) so the 6pdr armed tank hase to move some 20m further :D

    I found too the gamey`st vehicel of all CM-Games:

    Named the Daimler-Little John

    P-Stats: 116/97/77

    Movement: 50mph

    Turret: verry fast

    Forget the bazooka-boys loaded Jeeps.

    With APDS, this is expected, isn't it. What isn't modelled (or is it?) is that you can't hit a thing (even, perhaps, the ground) at that range with APDS. </font>

    Dont forget the "now" "ueber"-76,2mm over 220mm with tungsten/wolfram I wonder, why they started to build Pershings.

    6 pounders are abel to kill TigersI out to 1000 meters...

    The Bar with the same firepower under 40 meters like the real MP`s.... :rolleyes:

    I hade a good feeling with cmbo, then with cmbb...but now..

    Same with quad .50 cal. if i shoot with at infs. i can expect, that the grunts are imediatly dead. If i try this with a quad flak 20mm with a higher fire rate and he bursters...this will took 1-2 rounds or more.

    Five years later and all guns are able to knock out ISIII.

    MG 42 vs .50 cal

    in Combat Mission: Afrika Korps

    Posted

    Isnt this one of the oldest threads ever on this forum?

    I can find only one point in favor for the .50 cal. compared to other Mgs, and this is the pennetration power.

    Modern infantrie (beginning in wwII) should be flexible under any conditions, thats the goal. Try to haul a .50er in mud or snow around, good luck.. ;) Not to mention when you have to retreat from your position. Additional, you are mostly well exposed if you dont have made preparations like for guns. Also, you cant really aim for your target like a light mg, you have to "lead" your bullets to the target. Mens who hear a firing gun will drop to the ground...and if you cant hit with the first rounds, you will lost the advantage especialy in an ambush.

    IMO, a .50 cal. isnt really a economical way against soft targets.
