Some ammunition tweaks in 1.02?

[Amedeo]

I was wondering whether someone from BFC can give some feedback about a few ammo issues that were discussed on this forum in the last months:

1) 45mm cannister

It seems that this round existed and was quite common (at least not more uncommon than the 76mm and 57mm ones). So why it's not included?

2) 75mm hybrid APC/APBC

It seems that the german short 75L24 gun didn't use APCBC rounds similar to the Pzgr.39 issued to the 'lang' 7,5cm guns but a Pz.Gr. K rot that is an APC round with a very high and streamlined cap. Why not include this particular round in the geme?

3) Italian Effetto Pronto rounds

The Italian Army issued Effetto Pronto (Promt Effect, i.e. HEAT) rounds also for the 47mm and 65mm guns. They were not very good, nonetheless they probably deserve to be modelled if they were actually present.

(There should be also a fourth point regarding Soviet 122mm and 152mm APBC rounds availability, but since it seems there still is no conclusive data on this issue I decided to not return on this topic, for now).

Comments?

I'll bump it; seems reasonable.

I thought this thread was about ammo volumes...

I think the StuG III is depicted with only half of the typical combat load of ammo;

- 46 rounds stored in racks, as listed.

- Another 44 rounds piled up on the floor, not listed.

Even with the extra ammo they often ran out during infantry assaults.
