jclassey Posted December 21, 2000 Share Posted December 21, 2000 I know the tungsten thing was supposed to be fixed in the beta. I'm using build 22. My Sherman still wouldn't use his tungsten vs KT at 200 m (3 rounds fired before he was ko'd by the KT). Any ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Madmatt Posted December 21, 2000 Share Posted December 21, 2000 What was the target aspect angle? Which Sherman model? Do you have a save file? I just ran a test and at 200-300 meters a M4A3 (76) with only two rounds of Tungsten used them right off the bat on a King Tiger. Might want to try with b23 but the Tungsten issue was fixed earlier.

jclassey Posted December 21, 2000 Author Share Posted December 21, 2000 Matt, Head on. M4A3(76W). No save file of course. It was on a M Zoo scenario. I'll try to repeat it. And try 23. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Madmatt Posted December 21, 2000 Share Posted December 21, 2000 That's what I just tested, headon with a A3(76) and he fired the Tungsten immediately. Let me know if you see this again. I suppose there may still be a *chance* that they won't use Tungsten at once but I sure haven't seen that happen since it was tweaked.

Pak40 Posted December 21, 2000 Share Posted December 21, 2000 I've got a valid question about this and other similar situations. Suppose the KT isn't positivly idenified as a KT. Will the sherman still use his tungsten knowing that he may be wasting it on a lesser tank? Is this factored in CM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Madmatt Posted December 21, 2000 Share Posted December 21, 2000 From what I have seen the unit reacts to threat by what it believes the unit is at that time. In a test I just did, several King Tigers were misidentified as normal Tigers and the Sherman (76's) kept using AP as they thought they had a good chance to kill them. Once the truth of the King Tigers was established, (and I mean the SECOND it was established!) they switched to Tungsten... Madmatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasper Posted December 21, 2000 Share Posted December 21, 2000 Not if I was the tank commander. It'd be shoot tungsten until out. Then have engine trouble - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Drill instructor addressing class. "Ok you see this", he says holding up a photograph of a German tank. "It's on a hill 100 yards high and 750 yards away. Which ammo do you use?" The sound of pages being hurriedly turned over as cadets flip through their "Ammunition Selection Book". I cadet bruts out "APBC!" Instructor: "Wrong. This is a Mark IV Ausf D not F!" "APC" "Wrong - the evelation changes the angle of penetration." "APCNR?" "Yes, finally someone got it right. OK close your books and we'll try another one." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Beman Posted December 21, 2000 Share Posted December 21, 2000 Here's a real poser: Suppose I have a Sherman with some T rounds. I draw a LOS to an enemy tank and get hit % and kill chance (say kill chance is GOOD). During the turn, the Sherm fires all its T without a hit, and neither vehicle moves. Next turn, will the kill chance be adjusted to match the normal AP chance? DjB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
