rexford Posted April 6, 2003 Share Posted April 6, 2003 Amedeo Mateucci sent me an e-mail regarding Russian cannister which seems very valid. http://www.geocities.com/Pentagon/Base/1852/57mm.html#24 lists three different cannister rounds for 45mm guns during WW II. http://www.battlefield.ru/guns/project_1.html has cannister for 45mm, 57mm and 76.2mm guns. The game system should be revised to incorporate something on 45mm cannister, and maybe 57mm cannoister. Amedeo appears to have read some things about 45mm cannister use during the GPW and the ammo appears to warrant some consideration. If more info is needed I can ask him for references and additional data. I have not discussed 57mm cannister much with Amedeo but will ask him what he knows about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amedeo Posted April 6, 2003 Share Posted April 6, 2003 Rex, if I'm not mistaken the 57mm cannister round already is in the game (as the 76,2mm is). So it seems that the only 'forgotten' round is the 45mm one. Regards, Amedeo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonC Posted April 6, 2003 Share Posted April 6, 2003 The 76mm ammo listed is Sh-354, which is shrapnel rather than caseshot. Note the presence of a bursting charge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amedeo Posted April 6, 2003 Share Posted April 6, 2003 Actually the only reference to a 76.2mm case-shot (not shrapnel) round to be found on the RB site is here . (look at the ammo table) Regards, Amedeo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
