Hull Down


Tanaka

Recommended Posts

It has an upper hull (were the gun is) and a lower hull. If the gun can fire at enemy targets it is exposed and it, and the upper hull, can be hit.

If it is in full defilade it cannot be hit---but it also cannot fire at an enemy target.

I believe that's what he said.

To put it simply: whatever part of the tank/tank destroyer that the gun sticks out of is the exposed part of a hull down vehicle.

No, there will be no sequels. Charles and Steve have given up wargame design in disgust and have gone off to Jamaica to invest their new-found wealth in the drug trade. -Michael emrys

By the way, I've always read it that the upper hull and the superstructure are the same thing, so the Hetzer (and all other German assault guns, Panzer Jäger, and Jagdpanzer) have superstructures. Perhaps BTS reads it differently, I don't know.
