two questions


Recommended Posts

In some pictures I've seen (mostly Normandy ones) I see a panther shooting at some targets in the

distance (tanks). The thing is the panterh has its rear turret hatch open and there are some

people hanging out and loading in shells through

there or maybe dumping empty casing I don't know.

How common was this, how long would it take to

get up and ready for all around combat, and given

that the place was probably crawling with Allied

vehicles of sorts....why?

Second of all, what do you think about if an AT gun gets knocked out, there's a chance there might be some spare ammo around and if a tank with the same gun comes around, you could command it to scavenge (a risky thing, but if you are short on ammo) and it becomes rather vulnerable/for like a few minutes....

No clue 'bout #1.

As for #2, very unlikely, since A) an HE round hitting a gun emplacement would probably set off the ammo and B) it is too hard to model. If that tank can scrounge, everyone can scrounge, so if an infantry squad passes an eliminated squad with the same weapons gets an ammo boost?

C) It seems very unlikely that the crew would bother in the first place anyway.

This isn't generally possible. The Pz IV L/48 gun and the L/46 PaK have differen propellant casing, the Panzer one is shorter but thicker. I don't know about StuGs and Jagdpanzer. The Marder is probably compatible.
