ParaBellum Posted December 20, 2002 Share Posted December 20, 2002 I just played a little defense QB against the AI. AI purchased forces, AI force+100%, AI level+1. I got a weak (2 Plts)company of Panzergrenadiers, a marder, a 20mm HT, a Flak truck and a 81mm FO. Ah, forgot the most important: a regular 105mm gun. This puny force was pitted against a soviet infantry battallion with light armour support. I guess the gun crew deserves an extra Schnapps this evening... Being in command of a moral+2/combat+2 HQ might have helped a bit, too... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanonier Reichmann Posted December 21, 2002 Share Posted December 21, 2002 Tell me ParaBellum. What are those badge like symbols on either side of your unit information screen? Are they CDV's moniker or sumfink? Regards Jim R. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eden Smallwood Posted December 21, 2002 Share Posted December 21, 2002 So... Should we conclude that "Wall" can be excellent cover even for a large gun? Eden 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PiggDogg Posted December 21, 2002 Share Posted December 21, 2002 Para, Darn good. Iron Cross with all the salad to that crew. However, I don't think that anything like that would happen against a competent human. :eek: Indeed, it is some cool.

Sargon70 Posted December 25, 2002 Share Posted December 25, 2002 105mm is nice. 150mm might be even better... (QB German Defender against AI with +200% troops) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olle Petersson Posted January 3, 2003 Share Posted January 3, 2003 Remember that the 105mm howitzer was commonly used to tackle KV tanks (with direct fire) before PaK 40 became available. Cheers Olle 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manchildstein (ii) Posted January 3, 2003 Share Posted January 3, 2003 ok... say it's 1941... both the 150mm ig and the 105 art have HE only (not counting smoke)... i've noticed that, when targeting t34s, the 105mm gives a greater chance of kill, and in practice also seems to kill better.... my theory is that... even though the 105 and the 105 are both firing HE, the 105mm's longer barrel gives it some kind of 'punch' which, against armor is greater than the loss in blast value relative to the 150... i'd first thought that the 105 would be less effective against the likes of t34s, but in practice in the game i find that the 105mm is more effective.... first of all it gets the '1st hit' sooner, and secondly it seems to kill more quickly... so even though the 150 is better against softer targets and lighter vehicles... the 105 seems to be better against t34s and such... another thing i was wondering... how come no kind of "AP" for the 105mm in 1941? didn't they have some kind of 'concrete piercing bunker busting' ammo in 'real life?' i mean.. not that i'm complaining about their HE-only performance against tanks (which is quite good) or anything... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SgtMuhammed Posted January 3, 2003 Share Posted January 3, 2003 During one of the first encounters with the T34 the 17th Pz Division lost several PIIIs and 37mm AT guns as well as a headquarters to a single T34. The 34 was only stopped by a shot from a 105 that it had overlooked. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
