noob Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 In a game im playing at the moment an SPW Stummel will not switch to AP rounds when firing at an abandoned but intact tank, its inneffectually firing its HE rounds despite having 5 x 75mm AP rounds 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vergeltungswaffe Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Probably refuses to use them on something that is not a threat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarquelne Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 How about the range? The longer the range the more AP penetration decreases. IIRC the Stummel has a pretty short gun: It may rightly estimate that the odds of AP inflicting damage is even lower than the chance for HE. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FragerZ Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 I've seen this a few times against real targets with different vehicles. In bois de baugin, my JPz IV fired 3 HE shells in a row against a Sherman. In a quick battle online, I had a StuG fire HE shells at the front of an abandoned Sherman, despite having full ammunition. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hpt. Lisse Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Yeah, the SPW 251/9 Stummel needs some attention. In the final battle of the Panzer Marsch campaign (taking the town of St. Jean De Daye), on 3 separate occasions I watched them expend their coveted HEAT rounds on soft/speculative targets instead of HE rounds. This was manually targeting a house or building. The first time I was thinking, uh, I guess that could happen. By the third time, I was thinking, bug. Thanks for listening. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
