dano6 Posted November 2, 1999 Share Posted November 2, 1999 I just watched a test battle where the 3 M18s fired 18 rounds total at the Tiger I at 800m and they all bounced off except one. I am just wondering why the gunner didn't use the special round which I am assuming is APCR ammo. These rounds could easily penetrate the Tiger at this range. Seems a problem if they won't use this type of ammo. Again I am assuming that the s: catagory refers to special ammo in which they have between 3-5 round apiece. None of these round are used during the entire battle. dano6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Jones Posted November 2, 1999 Share Posted November 2, 1999 S refers to smoke ammo I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike D Posted November 2, 1999 Share Posted November 2, 1999 Yes, I believe the "S" is for smoke, not special ammo. Not sure what the designators for that are, although I know special ammo types are included in the game. Mike D aka Mikester Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fionn Posted November 2, 1999 Share Posted November 2, 1999 A= Armour Piercing ( usually APCBC or Panzergranate 39 ) H = HE S = Smoke T = Tungsten-cored ( HVAP, APSDS, Panzergranate 40 ) BTW the tungsten-cored appelation is just my quick way of remembering it.. not official. ------------------ ___________ Fionn Kelly Manager of Historical Research, The Gamers Net - Gaming for Gamers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dano6 Posted November 2, 1999 Author Share Posted November 2, 1999 Thanks, I thought that the APCR might be a little early. If I remember right it became available sometime in late September. Anyways it is my mistake. dano6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
