Formerly Babra Posted November 12, 2000 Share Posted November 12, 2000 Not that it affects anything, but... I understand that some vehicles are more prone to brewing up due to gasoline engines, dry or poorly located ammo stowage &c. The question is: Does the probability that a unit will brew up decrease as its ammo is expended? If my dry-stowage, diesel engined Sherman takes a hit through the bins, will it go up like a Roman Candle if the bins happen to be empty at the time? ------------------ I remember it perfectly: The Germans wore grey; you wore blue...

Moriarty Posted November 12, 2000 Share Posted November 12, 2000 Dunno about the ammo expenditure, Babs, but I do know for certain the 150mm Inf Gun we had in the original VoT will light one up. ------------------ "I came to Casablanca for the waters."

109 Gustav Posted November 12, 2000 Share Posted November 12, 2000 Well, if it's a Sherman... To learn about the probability of Shermans brewing up, go to http://www.battlefront.com/discuss/Forum1/HTML/011379.html Not even very many grogs know the true story of the Sherman's numbering designations. ------------------ No one but the enemy will tell you what the enemy is going to do.

But I'm not certain. ------------------ Most people assume that the M in US vehicle designations means "Model". Thus, the Medium Tank M4 Sherman would be the "Model #4" Medium tank. This is incorrect. The M actually stands for "Mortality" and the number represents the life expectancy of the vehicle in minutes. - Bullethead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Formerly Babra Posted November 13, 2000 Author Share Posted November 13, 2000 I strongly suspect that too, but again, it's just cuz I wanna know. ------------------ I remember it perfectly: The Germans wore grey; you wore blue... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
