    Depleted Uranium

    in Combat Mission Archive #2 (2000)

    Posted

    yeah Fionn, looks like the Gov. is pretty much covered. It looks pretty funny, like: Gee lets see how could we get rid off some unwanted readiation material, why don't we shoot it at the enemy, not only we get rid off the material but we as well kill someone with it, brilliant !!!

    They said on TV that soldiers got affected by loading these shells into the tanks, as well as breathing the air when the tanks were firing as well as breathing the air around the enemy's destroyed vehicles...

    Depleted Uranium

    I just saw some show last night on TV, can't remeber which show was it or when it was on (Canadian TV) about how the depleted Uranium AP shells for Americans tanks affected Americal soldiers in Desert Storm 1991 campaign. There were reports by doctors saying that soldiers were affected and some of the tankers actually died due too much exposure to the radiation of the AP shells...

    I heard that about 10,000 uranium depleted shells AP were fired from American tanks.

    It was very interesting, anybody saw it ?

    Thanks a lot being and the good side smile.gif

    CM vs Panzer Elite, a comparrison.

    I don't think it makes sense to compare PE with CM. It's like comparing apples with oranges the only thing they have common is they are both fruits. PE is tank simulation

    CM is wargame...I don't even want to get any further. PE is the best WW2 tank sim today, no question about, of course from my point of view.

    For those about the tutorial. You don't really need it, read the manual , then choose a scenario set yourself to invincible and give yourself unlimited ammo...drive around and learn how to shoot, yes PE is hard core sim and so it reaquires a lot of learning time just like say Jane's F-15, Microprose Falcon 4, or Jane's F-18 or SSI Su 27, get it ?

    Hi Fionn,

    The source is:

    U.S. War Department "Handbook On German Military Forces"

    (Mar'45) TM-E 30-451

    Officially released from restricted status by the U.S. Army Center

    For Military History.

    I have seen this document long time ago on

    the HPS website.

    Hey how bout this family history

    I come from Europe, Slovakia it used to be part of Czechoslovakia, the country of Tenis, hockey and good beer. My grand grand parents used to tell me a lot about WW2. That's actually how it all started with my fascination with WW2. When the Germans came (as my grand mother said) everything was alright, people in the village didn't like they were around but there were no conflicts. A German Battalion HQ was stationed in my grand mother's house. During their stay the staff would help around the house, bring food and talk about the war. The main general would bring chocholate, and always paid for everything they needed with good money. That was around 1940 - 1941. Then they moved on when BARBAROSSA begun. In 1944 when the Germans were on retreat the HQ would be back and would stay in the house temporarily at the same time the Russians where in the village as well and grand mother had to accomodate them into the Stable, she was very affraid what would have happend to them if the Russians would find out that Germans are in the house. As the Germans retreated the Russians were everywhere. Everyone was scared of them because they were like animals, they ate everything, they raped everybody, destroyed what they could and took every watch they could find (No idea why every Russian soldier loved watches). My grand mother was a strong woman never afraid of anything I could see that in her eyes buw when she talked about Russians and Stalin she was very angry and upset and a bit scared too. That was the first time that I have learned a true story about the war, quite different from what I was thought in school since at that time my country was under Comunistic regime. I would say according to the stories I have heard from other people, I'm glad that the Germans attacked the Russians first, since Stalin was getting ready to conquer the Europe and if that would have happend (1942 I believe) I don't know If I would have been alive today, I'm not kidding here.
