Sounds like WWII online to me. And coding is a biotch , jusk ask CRS. They almost deliver on everything thing you ask for.

At that range it should easily tell the difference between a stug and jagdpanther. doh Unless the crewmen are blind in 1 eye and blond in the other.

bump

How does the ROF compare in these tests. I would imagine the 88 out shouts the Russian tanks 2:1 or better. So the Germans tanks should be hitting more often.

Spoiler alert oops to late :eek:

Yes its the Roberto Duran Version - No Maus

The 88mm L70 lacks punch!!! :eek:

IIRC the "shatter gap" as defined by Rexford is not correctly modeled in the game which allows the 37mm and 40mm to get penetrations against face hardened armor when in fact the round should shatter instead of penetrating. Rounds do shatter in the game but i think that only applies to armor it would not normally penetrate. But then again i could be wrong. But who knows I don't remember things so good these days.

An elite 37mm gun crew(M8) can tank a panther out from I think like 720 meters in under a minute every time due to the shot trap( ran tests on it long ago). The game assumes that the shell ricochets with its full penetration power. However the smaller rounds would probably shatter on impact or not have sufficient power after the ricochet. esp. at the longer ranges.

Someone call the IRS and get their business tax returns using the Freedom of information Act.

I 5th, 6th and even 7th it. Ha

another good way is to ctrl C(or is it shift?) the units to the biggest +4 scale and have a good look around. Helps find even the smallest unit. [ April 11, 2002, 10:12 PM: Message edited by: Dittohead ]

June 22, 2002, 61 years later.

Tungsten was quite common in the Early war. Till supplies began to tighten. Germans used lots for their 37mm and 50mm. I think later in the war it was saved for special occasions. IIRC tigers each got a couple of tunsten rounds to help deal with the JS -II. Also JU-87G's used tungsten rounds for their 37mm guns.

It will be interesting if they model the shortage of Russian 76.2 mm AP ammunition during the first few months of the war. I can see lots of KV and T-34 armed only with a few rounds of AP and people cussing at them for not shooting it. Just like the great tungsten crises in US Tanks.

Well the overseas sales explains why Madmatt is driving around in a brand new humvee.

Basic loadout on a T-34 was 19 AP, 53 HE and 5 shrapnel. So will the range on AP rounds be from 0-6 rds for June-August and 0-12 rds Sept - Nov then 12-22 rest of the war.

So will there be a shortage of AP rounds for the Soviet 76.2mm and 152mm guns during the first few months of the war? From Fighting Armor of WWII Osprey Military - T-34/76, Medium Tanks 1941-1945, Steven Zaloga and Peter Sarson, page 10. "Due to the incompetent leadership of Marshal K. Kulik, ammunition production for the new 76.2mm tank guns had been delayed and only 12 per cent of the rounds were available when the war broke out. Most T-34 tanks went into action with-out any armor piercing shells, only high explosives, while many tanks did not have even a full load of ammunition." From the Armor at War Series, Stalin's Heavy Tanks 1941-1945, The KV and IS Heavy Tanks, by Steven J. Zaloga, Jim Kinnear, Andrey Aksenov & Aleksandr Koshchavtsev, page 4. "Most of the KV tanks had been delivered in the last three months before the war. There was only a tenth the required 76.2mm tank gun ammunition, there was no armor piercing ammunition for the 152mm gun on the KV-2, and no one had informed the KV-2 crews that they were expected to use the old 09-30 152mm concrete penetrating ammo instead of the non-existent armor-piercing rounds." Sounds like some T-34's/KV-1's should end up with 0 rds of AP during the first few months of the war.

Didn't the Germans find that the Tiger's pistol ports often let Russian 45mm AP rounds into the turret. will this be modeled?

I think I'll slap another 640k into my TRS-80 and will be ready to go. :eek:

It would be nice to know how much of this information Rexford has provided actually has made it into or will be added into the game.

Here have a bite of my Kit Kat.

:cool:
