SpitfireXI Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 When did the British start manufacturing HE ammo for their tanks? And when can I get it in the game? I really hate taking out those pasky at guns without HE ammo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingfish Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 The CS tanks carry a small loadout of HE, but the 3" gun is somewhat inaccurate. The exception to that are the very early CS tanks, which fielded only smoke rounds. The Honeys started appearing in Nov '41, and they carry a good mix of HE / AP. The Grants followed in the spring of '42, and the Shermans in late '42. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpitfireXI Posted June 8, 2004 Author Share Posted June 8, 2004 But when did the Matildas and Crusaders get HE ammo? Matildas in CMBB have HE ammo pretty early in the game, when do they appear in Africa? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 6 pdr doesn't get HE til you reach Italy. 2 pdr (for Daimlers and such) I'm not so familiar with. I believe* it shows up once you hit Italy, as well. N Africa doesn't get HE. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergei Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 You get 40mm HE before Italy, but I don't know what date. Why not just check in the editor, Spitfire? Let us know as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arthur Krupp Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 the brits were a bit slow with their tank ammo.....for instance giving a tank nothing but smoke shells......"lets do their lungs in!" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
