Bone_Vulture Posted March 5, 2003 Share Posted March 5, 2003 I've lately been playing alot of the Soviet side, and noticed that the early T-34 models seem to always carry an ample amount of canister rounds. I was wondering, has there been any research on the factors that dictate whether the tank will use this ammo type against infantry? Range, target cover, experience? Also, do the tanks use the canister rounds against other "soft" targets, like field guns, or even trucks? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParaBellum Posted March 5, 2003 Share Posted March 5, 2003 I think it depends on several factors. Most important is the number of cannister rounds the tank carries. The more rounds the tank carries the more likely he is to use them. I think tanks prefer using cannister against infantry in open ground, preferrably moving infantry. I haven't seen many tanks using cannister against dug-in troups. I've never seen tanks use cannister against trucks or guns. Cannister? Love 'em! In a PBEM against Nollof one of my KVs killed two assaulting infantry squads with one cannister round... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bone_Vulture Posted March 6, 2003 Author Share Posted March 6, 2003 In today's 30+ turn axis attack, my defending T-34 raked 25 infantry casualties... Those super-sized buckshots can do some real harm. :cool: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
