2 pdr HE?


Recommended Posts

I notice that Valentines with 2 pdrs get HE ammo - I'd always thought one of the things that brassed the Russians off about these was the absence of 2 pdr HE for them.

In the west HE for 2 pdrs was only issued in hte Pacific AFAIK - to the Australian AT regiment in Malaya in 1941/42, and to Australian Matildas and New Zealand Valentines - the tank ammo was "locally" manufactured, while the AT gun ammo was issued because the official doctrine was there would be no tanks in the Malayan jungle so the guns would be providing fire support for infantry.

Yes it was the 2 pdr - 40mm L52.

I'd be interested in the info about the 2 pdr HE shipped to the USSR too if anyone can remember it.

I don't know whether any Matilda CS's were supplied to the USSR.

The Valentines are in the CD scenario Approach to Sevastopol - Valentine IV's.
