Lurkur Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 In a current game I had a number of Stugs take partial penetrations or spalling on the front armor. They're still in the fight, but after the battle, what would they do with the Stug? Would they have to cut out and replace the plate, patch it, or put in armor putty and hope it doesn't get hit there again? How long would a tank be out of commision for that kind of repair work? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 By coincidence there's another 'patching vehicles' thread starting up on the CMBB side. From what I can tell from my reading nothing much could be done for compromised main hull armor on a tank or sp gun, short of flame-cutting out the injured area and welding a new armor patch back on (I came across photos of just this procedure on a Marine Corps LAV-TOW vehicle on the official Marine Corps website). This is definitely not a simple undertaking, and I suspect armor that just had a few flakes spalled off the interior would simply be ignored. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwolf Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 If there's a hole it gets a patch, described, e.g. by Cooper in "Death Traps". If there's no hole they most probably don't do anything. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GWDWD Posted November 13, 2003 Share Posted November 13, 2003 Oh geez, not ANOTHER thread about what happens to Lurkur's tanks when people fire shells at/into them. It's really getting old. Maybe you should leave 'em parked behind a hill or something where they will be safe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, in that game the issue with my tanks wasn't so much internal spalling as internal spalling, external spalling, cracking, blistering, multiple ventilation ducts forcibly drilled through the armour plate, system failures, large parts of the transmission being ejected out of the vehicle, a fierce fire, and any parts remaining being pulverized into it's base atomic particles. Completely different circumstances. [sulks] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or just get lots of guys with bazookas. Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurkur Posted November 14, 2003 Author Share Posted November 14, 2003 Nah, I usually do okay with them. I was just having a *bad* day in that game with GWDWD. A really bad day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harv Posted November 15, 2003 Share Posted November 15, 2003 *snicker* Like you've ever had {chortle} a good day [hysterical laughter] in a CM game. You're funny Lurk. Very funny. Harv Ps. I'll get that setup away shortly. Possibly. Pps. This wouldn't have been our game that you died-a-lot in would it? Or just every game you have armor in? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
