AK-47 = MP-44?
Shadow 1st Hussars replied to Triggerhappy's topic in Combat Mission Archive #3 (2001)
<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by paullus: Yes, the MP-44 Assault Rifle (first one ever made) was the direct ancestor of the AK-47/74 family of Soviet weapons. The AK-47 was a reverse-engineered MP-44 with updated tech & built to Russian specifications. Also, the M-60 US Machine Gun is almost a direct copy of the MG-42 (which is still used, in updated form by the Bundeswehr).

Really Really Stupid Question...
Shadow 1st Hussars replied to Guy w/gun's topic in Combat Mission Archive #3 (2001)
<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Stuka: Hehe, yes the Atomic cannon You just gotta love those wacky, zany US military guys. I've also read of secret US plans from the 1950's(?) to detonate an Atomic device on the Moon. Keerist! What where they thinking? Insanity was not just confined to the military of the US of A as I've read accounts of a Soviet plan to convert a sea going freighter into one gigantic Atomic bomb which they thought could be used to sail covertly to the US coast for detonation. The theoretical result of such a detonation the author claimed could have been enough to split the planet. Thats a big call but even so it does go to show the lunacy prevalent during the cold war and the fear of the 'Red peril'.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> The Russians made small nuclear bombs, placed them in breifcases and sent them to embassy's in western countries. ------------------ No bastard has ever won a war by dying for his country.

Hmmmmm odd. If it's stuffed, open it with stuffit expander. If it's just the extensions, then just put them in your extensions folder.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by MikeE: Today in a PBEM I got a Panther in a nice Hull Down position and the "bow MG blocked" followed the "Hull Down" text.

Is this something that's been added in a recent patch or have I just taken a long time to see it happen? Also I wonder if it shows if an enemy Hull Down tank has its bow MG blocked. Interesting.

I've made a map with two Fireflies and a Panther A, King Tiger, and Jagdpanzer. One Firefly is armed with 50ap rounds, the other with 50tung rounds. In the ap armed test, the shell broke up at 2213m against the KT (no suprise there ) i moved the KT to 2000m away from the Firefly, where the FF struck a gun hit. From then on it missed every shot. 2/30 rounds hit it KT. Then I reversed the FF into one of the pits I have at each end to keep the tanks I'm not testing in, and brought out the second FF armed with tungsten. I had to move the KT from side to side at 2000m, and by the end of the turn the second FF had spotted it and was aiming. I then halted the KT. The next turn the FF opened up. Halfway into the next turn the FF nailed the KT with a front turret penitration, and the crew abandoned it. Could it be that Tungston rounds are more accurate than Armour pearcing? btw: the KT never spotted the FF ------------------ No bastard has ever won a war by dying for his country.
