FOR my VEHICLES The equitable option for HEAT ammunition expenditure reduction on AFV weapon systems is to limit AFV soft target response range to a low setting. An exact hexagon limit of the response radius to the maximum range of enemy anti-armor weapons systems. FOR my 'Crunchies' The equitable option for HEAT ammunition expenditure reduction on crunchie weapon systems is to disable powerful weapons until they are needed. I'm not really sure how to use the the fire filtering feature as my game manuel that shipped with my CD does not mention it. Thank-you Imp for replying so promptly. Sincerely, Andrew Nault |
Re: Wasting High Explosive Anti Tank Rounds
The details of using the op filter are in the online manual but yes generaly if I set it for armour & no RCL ATGM jeeps around I either limit range to close or set to ignore.
A platoon of 3 or 4 tanks if you really wanted to Set 1 to engage Heavy armour only 1 or 2 to engage heavy armour & APCs 1 to engage everything The choice is yours. As I said apart from flame weapons rarely switch weapons off filter applies equally to troops. But if you want to fire at soft targets with squads without using the RPG then switch it off. Vs any armoured target just set the range if you want. To be honest though most of the time I find routines work well enough but do set for certain situations. |
Re: Wasting High Explosive Anti Tank Rounds
Also the "Overwatch hex" feature may be useful, if you wish to assign fire sectors for your unit in order not to have say 3 tanks firing at enemies in one spot and then being overran by enemies coming in via a different route.

Or just open the GG with the Game Options -> Help Tab-> Game Manual route, and then save that as a favoutite for future reference. It is not "on line" but it is HTML. You can easily read it side by side when playing if you play the game in Windowed mode. Cheers Andy |

If most people are the same as me I have much better search capabilities in plain text or PDF format than HTML. If this is the general case providing a copy in one or the other (no need for the pictures) might cut down the number of questions as I have asked a few as did not find the answer on a quick browse. Mind you this assumes people actually bother to look first I have a feeling a lot don't:D Actually probably the easiest option if anyone knows a good HTML free search engine please post a link & it can be included in the Guide or as a sticky |

Re: Wasting High Explosive Anti Tank Rounds
You do realise that HEAT is used against soft targets alot in real life, non emergency situations? Lets take Israeli tanks, as its my only area of real first hand knowledge:
There is no such thing as a HE 105mm in israeli tanks. There is HEAT, HEP/HESH, Flachette, and APAM. Same for 120mm. HESH is an ancient ammo now almost never used. An IDF tank usually has a HEAT in the chamber, to fire at any immidiate threat. This is because heat has an AT and anti-perssonel abiliety. So you end up shooting alot of HEAT at inf, soft vehicles and what not. |
