legend42 Posted September 19, 2002 Share Posted September 19, 2002 How come in the Citadel demo scenario the Russian at guns never use their t-rounds at long range?Would'nt you use them first then switch to ap rounds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mud Posted September 19, 2002 Share Posted September 19, 2002 Tungsten was scarce, and in real life you wouldn't have a "turn count" or other artificial limitations on whether or not you were going to have to make do with what you just have left against /another/ attack. Imagine using tungsten rounds to pierce a tank that you could have KOd with AP, and then not having any left for a subsequent wave of tanks that deserve it more (perhaps they've got tougher armor, perhaps they're standing off beyond your AP's capabilities, et al). Just the possibility of this happening might discourage being too free with the tungsten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxbat Posted September 19, 2002 Share Posted September 19, 2002 The effectiveness of these rounds drops off pretty badly with range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mike Posted September 19, 2002 Share Posted September 19, 2002 Like Foxbat says - have a look at het penetration figures at longer ranges - normal round are better!! Also accuracey falls off dramatically even at medium ranges, so they're less likely to hit at all! Better used at short range to ensure the hit AND get the benefit of increased penetration.
