kenfedoroff Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Hi Guys and Grogs, I remember a thread about Soviet canister ammo in the T-34. The general consensus was that the T-34 canister ammo was modeled improperly (that it was not true canister, but a timed/fused shrapnel round). In all my readings of supposed combat actions and AARs of the Germans, I never see any mention of cansiter use in AFVs (although it's modeled in the CMBB game, like the T-34 ammo). I've read of Panzer crews using sub-machine guns and hand grenades to repel infantry assaults, but never a mention of canister. Should scenario designers be editing cansiter ammo out of their German AFVs (just like the T-34) while building a scenario? Does anybody out there have a book or a report where it mentions use of canister in German AFVs? Thanks in advance, Ken 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
