LMG & HMG Armor Penetration


Recommended Posts

Does anyone have a table or link that shows what the LMG & HMG armor penetration is for both German & Soviet weapons (say at 100M, 200M, etc.). Maybe it's in the game, but my screen just shows firepower rating.

More or less, I'd just like to know what kind of armor I can point it at and expect to damage it. I punched out an armored car no problem, but how much higher can I go?

Go to the CMBO FAQ that russellmz so lovingly maintains and bumps. It's the 1st diagram, it looks kinda like a bullseye, and there's text to describe it.

.50cal can take out SPW 251/1 HT frontally at up to 600m (sometimes) and from other aspects out to 1000m or more.

MG42 HMG can take out US M5 HT generally only with a perpendicular aspect, and out to ~250m. After learning that, I promptly killed 2 HTs w/ 1 MG42 @ 200m, after losing all my other "real" AT defenses.
