Croda Posted December 28, 2000 Share Posted December 28, 2000 I was discussing AP munitions with a 10th AD vet and he mentioned something to me about the Sherman 105s having AP rounds. Naturally, my first thought was given to the 105s in CM, and whether or not they carried AP. I'm pretty sure that they don't. If I'm not mistaken, then only carry HE and Smoke. If that's the case, then was he mistaken? He mentioned the 105 AP taking the turret off of the German tanks, though I suppose that the blast from 105 HE could do so to the smaller tanks anyway. Does anyone care to comment on this? We had a very interesting discussion about his experiences observing tank battles. (He mentioned Sherman 76s "chasing away" what he thought were King Tigers, though I suppose he could have been mistaken. Your comments please. ------------------ WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!

Dr. Brian Posted December 28, 2000 Share Posted December 28, 2000 I can't think of a 105mm AP round being listed anywhere. Maybe it was a canister round? ------------------ Doc God Bless Chesty Puller, Wherever He Is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L.Tankersley Posted December 28, 2000 Share Posted December 28, 2000 He may have meant "anti-armor" rounds rather than AP specifically; the 105 can fire HEAT that is pretty effective. ------------------ Leland J. Tankersley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Germanboy Posted December 28, 2000 Share Posted December 28, 2000 They are the 'C' rounds, shaped or hollow charges and the 105s have them in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
