    My Gripe About M20/Greyhound Small Arms Penetration

    in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy

    Posted

    The MG-42, K98, G43 are NOT going to penetrate m20 or greyhound frontal armor, hatch or not. If you say the bullet enters viewing ports its not going to fly either the reasons are the ports are offset and the driver and radio man has to lean toward the center to use the ports meaning there is room with pretty thick hatch armor in the way. For the greyhound, the guys in the turret are out of the small arms question as the turret has the thickest armor.

    The MP-40

    Come on guys 9mm? It's not even AP. Go ahead and rule out mp-40 distance shots, You probably couldn't even hit the entire vehicle with a whole clip on an mp-40 over a certain distance let alone the 9mm smg hitting slits would be 1/100 chance and a person being in the way of the tiny hole makes it even slimmer. In the game it's an extremely high chance of hitting someone through armor in the scout cars with the mp-40, that is ridiculous and needs to be changed.

    The STG-44 Weaker than the mgs and rifles so it is also out of the question.

    The K98 and G43

    Nope again, the frontal hatch armor would stop it. hitting the slits would probably go through but the periscope is higher then what the driver looks at which is the bottom half of the periscope so low chance again.

    MG-42 / MG-34

    Frontal hatch would stop it again.. really starts to degrade over distance especially

     

    check the thickness of those hatches!

    It's fragile but behind a wall or sandbags it could really work for you. why not take out other apcs with it? I suppose you could walk around the outside of the jeep in 360 degrees the only problem manning it would be the front where there is a hood is. But back to the game.. Put a bazooka team in the other seats to hunt armor and escape fast.

    Any good jeep tactics?

    I would like to move toward enemy in reverse using brush for cover every couple of meters slowly so the engine is not exposed to small arms would this work ok?

    Or maybe the game doesn't allow the gunner to turn the MG 360 degrees?

    If not maybe a "turret face" option can be added in the future

    Now, about that SturmTiger: 

    -Moblity should be comparable to the King Tiger, which weighs slightly more but has more track to distribute the weight. The Tiger has remarkable floatation and is far more mobile and less likely to bog than say, a Sherman. Weight is not the full story. 

     

    I couldn't disagree more, The heavy Axis armor was stranded all the time in  soft ground - mud and snow and simply fell through the roads in Italy. They later fell victim to US air power stranded in the open due to the weight of the vehicle or simply ran out of fuel because of the fact they were all horrid on fuel consumption

     I think they could even be taken apart and uses as booby traps. Maybe I am wrong but I doubt they are much good against structures since its just a shaped charge like a BB pellet through a tin can, with the added molten shrapnel. It's what it does to the inside of the tank. The US AT rifle grenade did the same thing. As the tank mine Hafthohlladung did to the soviets
