bodkin Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Don't know about that but found this interesting test. http://efour4ever.com/57mm.htm 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieseltaylor Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I think there is evidence that the US cadged around 130,000 rounds of HE from the UK for the 57mm. The 6pdr was more effective than the US 57mm because of the British ammo - APCR and APDS with were around 25% and 50% higher velocity than the US shells. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holien Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Is it correct that this unit is not equipped with binoculars? It does seem odd but the Brits seem to have fewer Binos altogether and this makes playing with them quite a bit different. I try and keep them in C2 to help minimise the issue of not having Binos... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wokelly Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I'd honestly expect the British Anti-tank guns to have binoculars at least. I mean the British were able to issue a radio to every platoon, their tanks had optical eye pieces for the hull gunners, and their vickers had optical indirect fire sights. I don't see why supplying binoculars would have been hard. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see why supplying binoculars would have been hard. Plus, there would be those they would swipe from POWs. The Americans would also be doing this.

Holien Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Perhaps it was an oversight? Anyway if it could be changed in future that would be good as I think it will have an effect on the use of British AT guns... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
