  1. Don't need a computer to this just know the time of flight from each battery and have your watches sync'd. Especially since WW2 predates the portable computer:)

    My grandfather was an artilleryman(105mm) in the 1st Infantry Division and he's specifically mentioned firing TOT missions when in North Africa. He seem to think it worked.

    Far as I know only the Americans used it.

  2. Did you have detailed armor hits(shift-D) on? About the only way I could see it happen would be a weak point penetration.

    All the armor penetration data I can find suggests that the 37mm equipped Stuart or M8 greyhound would struggle to penetrate a Tiger frontally (and without Tungsten ammo to boot), yet in CMBO...

    Ingame the Tiger has weak points on at least on the front upper hull and front turret. That's only frontal Tiger kills I've ever seen by a 37mm, unless you count gun damage.

    I've played around with a lone Tiger vs. Stuart hordes some since seeing simliar comments on this forum. On average it's taken around two dozen frontal hits to get the weak point kill but I've had it happen at as low as 2 and 5 hits. A few of the penetrations were no effect or 1 crew casualty so even a penetrating hit isn't a 100% kill. I wouldn't bank on gun damage either as one of my test Tigers took 5 gun hits for no effect.

    In an even points battle, or even on attack, I don't think I'd bank on a few 37mm's taking out a Tiger.
