    AK-47 = MP-44?

    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).

    Last time I checked the brits still use bren guns.

    Now, to a small but important admin matter. Sir, you have inadvertently maligned one of the great cavalry commanders of all time by calling J.E.B. Stuart's namesake a "stewart." The tank in question has no connection whatsoever to the English royal house of Stewart whose name you mistakenly used in labeling your post. J.E.B. Stuart was a brilliant and audacious cavalry commander who fought for the Confederate States of America during the American Civil War.

    I don't actually have a graphics 9 backup file.

    The new skymods are from CMHQ (today) and those are the only files that this seems to happen.

    I'm stumped...

    <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

    I installed those just fine and dandy. Are you selecting the file or the folder?(after you convert)

    yeah. such as, what if Eisenhower had decided not to stop at the Rhine and had gotten to Berlin first? What would the Russians have done then?

    Stalin was convinced the imperialists would turn on him after the war and might have been loopy enough to try for a preemptive strike.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

    I was reading Stalin's biography, and apperantly the German success in the early days of Barbarossa was because Stalin was planning to attack Germany and all the Russian troops were deployed offensively.

    Really Really Stupid Question...

    Hehe, yes the Atomic cannon smile.gif 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.

    You gotta download the patch. Its on one of their secret websites. Also I had trouble because AOL conflicted with it. AOL uses the same "muscle" tactics as microsoft.

    I might have that website you need.

    It's not a problem with OS9.1, it's with the sympatico connection software.

    Hull Down (bow MG blocked) - new or just new to me?

    in Combat Mission Archive #3 (2001)

    <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. I don't recall seeing this before or if I have I had not noticed it. I've seen lots of tanks hull down too. 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.

    Now to you.

    Ammunition Types and accuracy

    in Combat Mission Archive #3 (2001)

    Posted

    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 :P) 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 cool.gif
