Gyrene Posted April 13, 2001 Share Posted April 13, 2001 This has probably been discussed before, but does CM take into account that AP rounds, if fired at Trucks, HT's and other light vehicles would most likely punch right thru and do little real damage? I'd think the odds of the round hitting a vital spot (Driver/Engine, etc.) versus hitting dead space would be pretty low. Gyrene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gyrene Posted April 13, 2001 Author Share Posted April 13, 2001 Abbott, from this very site, under "resources": We also got to watch a US 57mm AT gun go to work on the wreckage of the prior day's shoot. But it wasn't very interesting. The AP rounds passed right through the bus and impacted in the hill directly behind. Although there was much to hear (dang that thing is loud!), not much to see. I'd wager a fair amount that it happened a lot when shooting AP's at soft targets. Gyrene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abbott Posted April 13, 2001 Share Posted April 13, 2001 I understand your statement. I was thinking along the lines of Morale effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morale effects would be: The next 3 turns, said soft skinned vehicle would be moving at a fast rate the other direction. Gyrene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadmaN Posted April 13, 2001 Share Posted April 13, 2001 Yeah i think it does, ive fired AP at HTs a number of times and just gotten "Side Hull Penetration" or something, but no real damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
