Thompson was less accurate than 9mm SMG's and quite heavy compared to others. 11 lbs versus 7-8lb of the other common SMG's, Sten being a bit less than 7lb However I'd take almost any other SMG over Sten... Thompson has cyclic rate of 600-725rpm I would probably prefer high cyclic rate with 9mm, for better accuracy over range.. thats where the infamous Suomi M/31 comes into the picture

v. Senger & Etterlin says that both the A3 in the 35(t) and the A7 variant in the 38(t) are 40 calibre length. Lexikon der Wehrmacht agrees with you. Interesting. </font>

38t has 37L47.8 It has heavier shell than III / Pak 36 and little less velocity, however penetrates more due to higher mass of the projectile. [ May 12, 2003, 12:44 PM: Message edited by: Fishu ]

Actually, dug in vehicles means theres been either built something around the vehicle or digged a hole for it, complete with a ramp. It doesnt immobilize the vehicles at all. Just needs a bigger hole than for a man :>

You DONT want to go into a craters with tank

I don't think even artillery barrage should become wide spread after the hit area is defined.

Since pioneers can remove minefields, I suppose they can also remove roadblocks.

Geocities is useless crap :I

Lumbergh, The tanks aren't all over. There is still german tanks and ATG's. However, infantry holds the ground, not the tanks.

Obviously some people still do have common sense not to make a lawsuit of every possible case... like microsoft, which makes up lawsuits if something just RESEMBLES their products name :>

I've noticed the 'hulldown' position being VERY effective, since you cannot hit the ATG's directly. Some Pak 40's front shield is about same size as some tanks turret when hulldown, so go figure

Dorosh, I think it's because US won the war by itself

Lakowski, I'm sure western powers and Hitler had something to do with russians winning Hitler was probably most notably reason. Stalingrad is probably most famous mistake that Hitler knewingly did in the war. Then there is a serie of other weird commands from Hitler in 1941-42, where he passed his adjutants and commanders opinion. Jasonc, I wouldn't think that 76mm HE would be fine against 50-60mm armour

Michael Dorosh, Remember.. its a question whether MP44 would been introduced earlier, had Hitler given full support for it. So we wouldn't be talking anymore about the late war, but how things would look if it would have reached combat earlier and would been in far larger quantities at the same time than it was in reality.

150mm IG guns are pure extacy for the price. On my 2000pts games, they often come up with 100-180 kills per gun :>
