ShiftZ Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 WOW. I was messing around in the editor and decided to add in the big guns for the hell of it on the crossroads scenario. Six BB's turned st. Martins farm, the crossroads and the bocage area to the north east to big holes. The barrage was still running when the Germans surrendered. Completely nuts, I love it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magpie_Oz Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 I wonder if the Brit Module will have the tactical use of heavy bombers in it? Now THAT would be nuts 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gunnergoz Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 While we're at it we may as well add Anzio Annie, Dora, Karl and the US Little David 36" heavy mortar...none were in Normandy, but what the hey... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 ...the US Little David 36" heavy mortar... I'd never heard of this one, so it got my curiosity up and I found this page with a movie on it. Must have taken a couple of days to emplace. The shell leaves one hell of a big crater.

Completely nuts, I love it Does anyone have some figures on the spread of both individual and successive salvos? If a BB lets loose with 6/9 barrels, typically how close do they land to each other? Given the distance and wave action, how close is the next salvo to the first? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil stanbridge Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 One thing I REALLY miss in this game is the little indicator telling you the blast radius. I used to love looking up the most powerful guns and checking out what was the most devastating unit. I find it a little difficult now to work out exactly what sort of damage something will achieve. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calibration Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Does anyone have some figures on the spread of both individual and successive salvos? If a BB lets loose with 6/9 barrels, typically how close do they land to each other? Given the distance and wave action, how close is the next salvo to the first? In 1944 a typical battleship main gun salvo pattern was about ~2% of range. e.g. at 10,000 yards you would expect the shells to land within 200 yards of each other. For a ship firing at a fixed distance towards a land target that's about the spread you would expect for successive salvos. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
