  1. The WWII bazooka had the same problems in Korea that it had in WWII against sloped armor like the panthers. They were known to ricochet off sloped armor without detonating.
  2. Oh crap. The TacAI does not know to anticipate targets. Its just reacts to targets. The micromanagement of the tank commanders head is OK as well as his every move but which way to watch is not. Old blundering butt strikes again.
  3. The T34 front hull also had the huge driver hatch throughout its design. It wa, of course, needed to get out by the driver since there was no overhead hatch. This same visor type hatch was eliminated from later panthers because it compromises the armor plate. This is a weak spot and should be modeled in CM2. I wonder if the T34 lower side hull armor is going to be a weak spot in CM2. It was not sloped as well as the upper side hull armor or the turret sides. Weapons like the 37mm PAK and short 50mml42 and 75mmL24 should be able to penetrate it.
  4. It looks like the website has pics of the very rare 75mm squeeze gun.
  5. I heard there was this kid that drew a picture of himself taking dictation from a dominating female-type-authority figure. He said he was envisioning his future. The psychs and soches made him a poster boy for the future. But he shot himself before the ceremony. He was smarter than I thought at first.

  7. Most Tiger part Deux were sucked to hell in the mud of Europe. Now Tiger III were something else. 10 gallons to the half kilometer and they relied on dropped aviation gas pods for fuel. Luckily they never left the factory.
  8. really? Thats funny. Speaking of Flipper, I used to draw pictures of dolphins wearing stahlhelms and throwing potato masher hand grenades with their tales. Huge ocean going squids were always hirohito looking bastards but whales looked like battle ships with turrets sticking out the top sideways. A normal childhood. But I wish it would end sometime..

  10. I remember being very young and all the fuss was about the waste of money on the moon shots. Anyway, during science class the teacher encouraged questions about what we would like to ask about the astronauts lives in space and what they needed to bring along. My arm shot up and I almost blew out of my seat when I asked about: "What kind of weapons are they bringing along?" After that, I remember speaking to some creepy guy with a beard and he wrote down notes and looked at me quizically. He asked me how I felt about my mother but I just told him about my theorys about dinosaurs that used to wear armored clothing. Man, I was so ahead of the times. Could this have been the emergence of me as a weapons genius? I think it was...

  12. Initially it was even worse when CM came out. You could just bum rush any old MG position. BTS then adjusted the firepower/ and/or the effect of moving in the open against said firepower. I still say that troops (not involved in some sort of organized charge) would more than likely be pinned in many of the actions that CM models. The phenomena of troops running into the cover that protects the offending weapon is also odd.
  13. I would agree about the HEAT fired from rifled weapons. Since the front part of the shell is hollow, it would have a tendency to fall into procession and nutation. This would of course make it inaccurate but it would also have the efffect you are describing where its jet is not in line with its translational motion. These HC shells werent very good beyond 500 meters or so. They therefore gave up one of the advantages of heat warheads, That is, heat is range independant. The ricochet chance you describe with the rpg is because the piezo electric fuze does not hit first but the body of the shell does.
  14. Are you saying that he has to inspect it without picking it up? He is going to get down on all fours and shine a flashlight up its tube? Do you think he can open the breech to look in? I am pretty sure there isnt a breech to see into like your gustuv weapon. Its alot more plausible than you are dismissing. But enough of this. Its just a bad thread. Jason is like obsessed with his 4 function calculator applied to WWII.
  15. It would be easy enough to do. Just plug something in the tube behind the charge. It more than likely would kill someone.
