Paul Lakowski Posted August 21, 2000 Share Posted August 21, 2000 <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Fionn: Time, You get an "almost grognard" sticker insofar as you've spotted one interesting datum BUT have failed to research and check relevant related facts. The answer is simple. The JagdTiger was the only WW2 German tank gun to fire separate ammunition BUT it also had TWO loaders. One for the charge and one for the projectile. End result.. Loading speed wasn't compromised as much as you'd think. Nice try though.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> I thought the Jagd Panther also had two loaders? Whats a 'normal ROF' 7-8 RPM ?

Fionn Posted August 21, 2000 Share Posted August 21, 2000 Ah but Paul, I never said the JagdPanther didn't have two loaders. I merely said the JagdTiger was the ONLY German tank to use separate ammo. As for "normal". I figure between 4 and 5 rounds per minute is "normal". Given that each loader in the KT was putting in 1 component of the "shell" and could do so at the same time as the other loader put in the other component ( with the obvious caveat that the projectile must be placed in after the propellant bad) they shouldn't have had to slow the ROF much below the normal AFAICS.

Simon Fox Posted August 22, 2000 Share Posted August 22, 2000 <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>He never posts there, but Simon reads the Peng Challenge thread, aka The Cesspool<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Yes, working with viruses and bacteria I have a passing interest in observing the antics of the lower forms of life. Of course I wouldn't want to stick my hands in their habitat and stir it around or try and start up a conversation with them there. Fortunately some of them seem to be able to drag themselves temporarily out of the primeval slime and interact on a higher plane (ie Andreas). One wonders if perhaps they are degenerated from a higher form rather than caught in evolutionary stasis. On the other hand some of them (ie Peng) seem incapable in this regard. ------------------ "I never saw such a dejected army, even the Italians carried themselves better in the old desert days.
