roglea31 Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 can anyone make avalible or give us a link to the german and soviet data for wpn and ammmunition dispersion at various ranges being 100m to 3500m, currently I can locate hit percentages but want the raw data, 50% or 95% is fine unless of course there are any math proffessors out there who can convert hit probilitilties into raw data. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
costard Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 entropy denies that possibility. Second the motion for info on dispersion data tho'. Good groggy question. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck finding them -- please let us know if you turn anything up. I assume from the mention of P(hit) that it's direct-fire weapons you're interested in. Apart from a very vague mention in a PRO file from the post-war interrogation of a German scientist (who said that an average dispersion at the muzzle of about a mil is what was epxected for anti-tank guns) the only source I have is Bird & Livingston's "World War II Ballistics: Armor and Gunnery", 2nd edn. This shows values ranging from about 0.75 to 2 minutes for the lateral dispersion of 68.26% of shots (a figure chosen I imagine to correspond with one standard deviation of the Gaussian distribution). I'd be interested to know what P(hit) data you've managed to find for Russian (especially) and German weapons, aside from what's in "Panzertruppen". All the best, John. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMFDR Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Well, i'm not sure to clearly understand your question (you are searching for historical or ingame figures?) but here are some links that may help you: * Historical Gun Accuracy Data - Introduction to Weapons Data - Guns vs Armour 1939 to 1945 http://www.freeweb.hu/gva/weapons/introduction.html#Gun_Accuracy_Data *Ingame Higher muzzle velocity = better accuracy http://www.theblitz.org/message_boards/showthread.php?tid=41559&pid=223442 Accuracy/ Rate of Fire Table - ww2steel's Combat Mission site (close to the bottom of the page) http://www.ww2steel.com/CM/Combatmission.html hope it helps 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 roglea, It'll take some careful reading, but this'll provide significant help, both in additional resources and in terms of relating firing range dispersion to combat figures. http://www.battlefront.com/community/showthread.php?t=43487&highlight=wittmann+stug+iii Regards, John Kettler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
