Ryan Crierie Posted October 26, 2001 Share Posted October 26, 2001 We've all heard about those "horror" stories (or "miracles" - depending on yer PoV) about 37mm gun armed Stuarts K.O.ing Tigers at 300m. Perhaps in CM2:BB, BTS could implement a more detailed detailed shot display, rather than saying "turret penetration", say: "gunsight penetration", "vison slot penetration", "struck round in barrel", etc to dull the pain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I had half a brain and could come up with a few more of those hit result descriptions. -tom w P.S. Maybe, Just maybe, a 1% or 2% weak spot penetration frequency is too great and maybe we/they/BTS/Steve and Charles need to look at .1% or .5% for some chance to hit weak spot penetrations. That Allied 37 mm round seems to find more sneaky ways to penetrate than a hot and bothered adolcesent teenager in the back seat of car at a late night drive-in (sorry, it was the best I could do so late at night ) [ 10-26-2001: Message edited by: aka_tom_w ]</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
