MtTodd Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 After reading many threads regarding how realistic 17pounder & 76mm is simulated against Panther & Tiger 1 frontal armour, I am still confused if this is modelled accurately. I would be interested on any opinions on this matter 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Carr Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Greetings, Funny that you should pose this particular question to the CMBO forum. The answers you get may vary but it has been my experience that although CMBO is a dynamite game and great fun to play, compared to CMBB and CMAK, its realism from a main canon standpoint cannot hold a candle to the two games that came after it. Again, its a great game and lots of fun to play but I have lost Tiger IE's to Stuart 37MM's frontally in CMBO. It happened regularly as well. I have never had the above happen in CMBB or CMAK, I think the Russian's have the lend/lease Stuarts if I'm not mistaken. I'm sure someone will come along and slam my response but its content is based on my experience with CMBO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MtTodd Posted January 11, 2005 Author Share Posted January 11, 2005 Thanks for your reply. Does anyone know if the other games model penetration diffently to CMOO? Is US 76mm & 17 pounder tungsten performance accurate v Tiger & Panther frontal armour? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throwdjohn Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 correct me if i'm mistaken, but is the 17 pdr much higher velocity than 76mm? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingfish Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 Originally posted by throwdjohn: correct me if i'm mistaken, but is the 17 pdr much higher velocity than 76mm? Correct. IIRC, the 17 had a MV in the mid 800s while the 76 was in the high 700s. The best all around was the German 88/L71, with 1200+m/sec. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roqf77 Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 well other than the improved consistency the values are different. on beyond overlord the 17pdr at 100m penetrates about 170mm on afrika korp it penetrates about 207mm of coure it depends on the round. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
