Thanks Lorrin. Educational as always.

rexford?

Rexford, where art thou when you're needed? So the guns perform the same, but the tables are now for different type of armor? Is it by any chance because only homo armor was used on the western front?

What are the sources for this newer data, if I may ask? It doesn't make the penetration values irrelevant, and beyond comparison, does it? I bet it is the patriotic bonus American weapons seem to have in all American-made wargames.

Btw, for easier comparison, download Chris' Databases available at here

No. FE there are no changes in AP-ammunition for the German guns listed above throughout the years. [ February 17, 2004, 10:21 AM: Message edited by: Keke ]

In short, why do guns that were presented in CMBB have 10% or more penetration power with their 'regular' AP-rounds in CMAK? For illustration purposes I list a few tank guns and their penetration values (@ 100 metres, slope = 0). _________CMBB_____CMAK 75/L48___131_______144 75/L70___176_______194 88/L56___154_______170 75/L38____90_______104 76/L52___123_______142 Based on info available at various armor sites, the values of CMBB seem to be closer to reality. Now was there a game engine related reason to boost those values for CMAK? :confused:

In reality Pz-III's spaced armor (50+20) was execptionally resistant against APHE-ammo, even that of Soviet 122mm. I don't know how well this fact is modelled though, but I do know that late Pz-IIIs have better front turret armor than Pz-IVs, and in this game, it means a lot.

Of course they would. I'm sure that Mr. Glantz has enough work dealing with Soviet archives, and in order to actually produce something he has to make some short-cuts. It's undesirable, but quite understandable.
