    Vanir Ausf B got a reaction from Rinaldi in Combat Ranges for tanks in black sea - engagement ranges?   
    The guy who wrote that doesn't actually play the game. Map sizes have increased quite a lot recently and seeing what the hell is going on is not an issue. There are these things called "icons"...
     
    Tank and ATGM engagement ranges in reality are mostly dictated by terrain and I think for the most part that is also true in the game.

    Vanir Ausf B got a reaction from John1966 in A not very exciting Christmas Bone this year   
    No. He meant that there will be exactly two Jagdtigers in the game. Once they are destroyed they will no longer be available in future scenarios and QBs, so treat them well.

    P.S.  Please do keep voting up the posts. If I cannot defeat Bil on the battlefield, perhaps I can amass more 'forum reputation points' than him!  Ha!

    Vanir Ausf B got a reaction from Shorker in German 75mm AT Guns - Stealth Mode?   
    I have looked into this a little further. This bug affects any AT guns purchased as part of a formation in which they begin limbered to half tracks:

    UK Antitank Battation (CMBN)
    US Armored Infantry Battalion (CMBN)
    GE Regimental Anti-tank Company (CMBN and CMRT)

    (let me know if I missed any)

    It also affects three half tracks when purchased as individual vehicles: UK M5, US M2A1 and US M3A1 (2 x MG). Other half tracks seem to work fine with AT guns as long as they are purchased individually.

    Vanir Ausf B got a reaction from Vergeltungswaffe in QB point scaling.   
    I feel that the best way to address this would be to enable the Force Adjustment % modifier to be applied to both sides instead of just the one.

    Vanir Ausf B got a reaction from LukeFF in Test range: The Maxim generates the similar firepower per minute like the heavy MG42   
    This is not even remotely true. Seriously, have you even played the game?

    Vanir Ausf B got a reaction from Kineas in long range tank lethality   
    Perhaps, but that's a bit apples to oranges as there were a lot of 37mm, short-barrel 50mm and 2 pdr-armed tanks in North Africa. Engagement ranges in Northern Europe 1944-45 were well over that.



    -- Zaloga, Panther vs Sherman



    -- Tank Tactics: From Normandy to Lorraine, Roman Johann Jarymowycz

    German panzer iv crews were trained to open fire at 1200 meters as that is the maximum range at which their mili-radian sights allowed them to "fire for effect" without use of bracketing.

    Note: tank accuracy in CM is lower than the above numbers!

    Panthers, Tigers and Allied tanks with similar high velocity cannon could engage at even longer ranges.



    -- Commander of the III Panzer Korps General der Panzertruppe Hermann Breith, 21 July 1943

    Depends on how many shots the Panthers get. At that range and against a moving target the large majority of the first shots should miss. But accuracy increases rapidly with each shot taken so if they are getting 2 or 3 shots off there is a pretty good chance of a hit.

    As for penetration, a Panther will easily penetrate a T-34 at that range except on some parts of the T-34/85 front turret.
