    75mm L48 penetration is kinda off

    in Theatre of War

    Posted

    Hey guys,

    I was just playing ToW and then CMAK and CMBB.

    I had to check this. In ToW, the 75mm L48 kwk cannon used by the Panzer IVH or Jadpanzer IV or Stug series (late) has an point blank penetration of 90 something mm using APCBC. While in CMAK and CMBB, even the 30 degrees penetration at 100m is above 120 mm. Is this way off? I've checked out of curiosity on the Hummels 150mm HEAT round and IS2s 122mm gun. They seems to be pretty much in line.

    just and observation,

    thanks,

    Mike

    Question about this soldier's scouting value

    in Theatre of War

    Posted

    So i have been playings for a couple of games in the German campaign now, and have read the manual, and have read a lot of the posts here about the bugs, problems, etc etc.

    I guess this is related to the LOS/spotting problem. So if my virtual soldiers have low or 0 spotting value, does that mean they are basically blind?

    I have read somewhere in one of the posts, that inf. was not able to bazooka an incoming armored car from less than 200m (always saying the "no line of fire") thing) because the scouting value of the soldier is low.

    This doesn't make any sense. I would think anyone can see a big car coming at u.

    I would think if the car is like 1000-2000m away, then a guy with good eyes would be able to spot it better than some dude who is near sighted. But what is this scouting value???

    It would make sense that guys with higher scouting values are more experience and can pick out camouflaged units. But is this game making their ability to see depend on scouting value?

    I have def. come across the "No Line of Fire" even though the red icon is in full color.

    Maybe the devs can add in a binocular feature in the 1st person view so we players can see what is going on far away from the tank commander's point of view.

    Oh also what is frustrating is that I have not figure out a way to automatically promote, give experience points to a group of soldiers. Going through each one is pain.

    just my questions and opinion lol

    oh plus, i know i played a lot of CM. some ppl here are saying we shouldn't compare this to CM. We shouldn't except for the fact that if TOW's aim is to be realistic and nice looking, then when it comes to factual things, such as Sherman 75mm should not penetrate frontal Tiger armor, it should be the same in real life, CM, or here.

    I still need to play this game more to find more interesting observations.

    thanks for reading my blab, lol :D :cool:
