Moon Posted September 13, 2003 Share Posted September 13, 2003 Hi Stikkypixie, no, sorry, the Guide and "other stuff" is not available in Belgium in retail, except CMBO and CMBB (but you seem to have the latter), and - soon - Strategic Command.

Frustrating, isn't it? I mean, you might as well throw glass marbles at the tanks for all the effect they have. I've read that the Russian 7.62 mm AT guns weren't considered bad AT guns, but the poor quality of the poorly manufactured AP rounds makes using them just another means of getting crews killed quickly. And congratulations on a rather disturbing screen name. Unless, of course, it's simply the name of another German or SS Officer that I've never encountered in my readings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that particular AT gun was nicknamed "the peashooter" gun based on its miniscule calibre. Regards Jim R. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stikkypixie Posted September 14, 2003 Author Share Posted September 14, 2003 thanks for the replies but what i don't understand is why even in the later stages of the war the velocity of the russian rounds are lower than the germans, you would think that they would improve it. I've also noticed that the lend and lease shermans have better ap cap. so why not use their shells? can you guys tell me moreAnd congratulations on a rather disturbing screen name. ------------------------------------------- Unless, of course, it's simply the name of another German or SS Officer that I've never encountered in my readings. ------------------------------------------------ nope it's just disturbing 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
