John, A question. Does a HEAT/HC round produce its lethality through a mechanism that would not be evident in your above table? Or does the mass of metal flying about after a penetrating hit pretty much sum up the round lethality? cheers, Dave

Some of us would say that it contributed to many KO'd Arab tanks...

Sure, but for the price of your Dell monitor you'd end up with a crappy tft that would not look as good. Shell out for a nice LCD and you'll love it. Plus it is much easier on the eyes for reading text on the screen, a big bonus for anyone who spends large amounts of time hacking stuff into your pc, which I suspect most people do.

1. 15th Rifle Division? Just guessing.

Right...rifled barrel, definitely. info looks like it had a barrel-launched missile on the T-55M though: "ATGM Launcher Name D-10T2S gun Launch Method Gun-launched Guidance SACLOS, Infrared laser-beam rider Command Link Encoded laser-beam Launcher Dismountable No " [ July 14, 2003, 06:19 PM: Message edited by: Lumbergh ]

I wouldn't be so sure. What about when it rains and you get uranium leeching into the groundwater? Then you have heavy metal contamination of someone's drinking water.

This is my thought too, although like you I don't have any reference to hand. Did the T-55 ever have a smoothbore gun? I simply can't recall. Michael </font>

"Sturmmörser Tiger" in the Medium class? Shouldn't this thing just get excluded? Or put into the "superheavy" since it has the ahistoric superman reload time?

Old people hobbies are great fun as a teen, especially if you get dad involved. Nothing was better than doing R/C planes with my dad, and I assume that nothing will be better than whooping your dad at CMBB.

So why don't they pay you and incorporate your magic into CMAK?? Sounds like a good idea to me.....

Yeah, it's perfect for working on your tophat-lowski or whatever it's called. The TAC AI, as smart as it is, never seems to catch on to that one!

Would not a penetrating hit of DU SABOT be catastrophic? Doesn't the uranium dust ignite inside the tank or something really nasty (not to mention breathing uranium dust or contaminating the inside of a vehicle with uranium dust)? I'd give more weight to the "it explodes" and the "it's cheap" explanations...

He must have been particularly angry at the facists that day...

Were not certain Henschels equipped with downward-firing anti-tank weaponry? A MAD detector hooked up to a cannon or somefink?

"519" tank kills?? Sure, I believe that....
