Zenophobe Posted September 9, 2002 Share Posted September 9, 2002 In the tutorial scenario the T-34's have HE, AP, and C ammo, what is "C"? I was hoping it was smoke, but alas, my poor troops had to brave the enemy positions without that luxury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SnarkerII Posted September 9, 2002 Share Posted September 9, 2002 Cannister, AFAIK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffsmith Posted September 9, 2002 Share Posted September 9, 2002 Yup a Tank Sized "Buckshot" Round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KEEF888 Posted September 9, 2002 Share Posted September 9, 2002 Yeah, it's canister - an anti-personel round. As Jeff said, it's like a huge shotgun blast. The entire "Ammo Code Changes" can be found in Matt's "Changes Since CMBO" at CMHQ. They are: HE - High Explosive / AP - Armor Piercing / HC - Hollow Charge (HEAT) / T - Tungsten / C - Canister (anti-personel) / S - Smoke / F - Flame.....C-ya.

ARRPEEGEE Posted September 9, 2002 Share Posted September 9, 2002 Actually, i think it stands for 'Confusion' as it causes your opponent to wonder where that squad he was damn sure was there a second ago went There's nothing like seeing a single tank round cause 28 infantry casulties..I wish I'd have taken a screen of it...My jaw hit the floor.

edgars Posted September 9, 2002 Share Posted September 9, 2002 I haven't managed one of my tanks to shoot "c" round just yet. How do you do it? Should the tank be really close to the enemy infantry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conscript Bagger Posted September 9, 2002 Share Posted September 9, 2002 Try moving to within 100m, and they don't seem to fire canister at troops in foxholes or craters (which I suppose makes sense). But a squad that's nearby and on the move becomes a canister target very quickly. Several times I've seen a dug-in infantry team take HE/MG fire without casualties, break, flee a few steps, and lose 3/4 of its men from a "c" shot.

gunnergoz Posted September 9, 2002 Share Posted September 9, 2002 Granted it's a different period depicted and a different weapon, but for fun, check out the scenes in the movie "Gettysburg" where the Rebels approaching the Yankee line get hit full on with a canister round from a Napoleon gun. Talk about sweeping 'em down. Awesomely well done filmmaking... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
