Re: Bug smoke available to destroyed mortar

Chuck,

It would allow you to plot the smoke missions, but would it actually fire?

Thanks, Ross

Re: Moebelwagen & SdKfz 251/1 Rak

And, just notice a similar deal with the Vielfachwerfer in spob16, OB Slot 399, where the Fire Control should be 0 instead of 5.

Thanks, Ross

Moebelwagen & SdKfz 251/1 Rak

While digging around in spob16, I found two items that should be looked at:

unit 175 = Moebelwagen : Weapon Slot 1 should be a weapon 29 - 3.7cm Flak 43 instead of weapon 11 - 3.7cm FlaK 36. ...

Re: Russian infantry guns.

The part above about a minimum range for indirect fire got my attention. I don't see that value as a characteristic set in Mobhack. Is that something automatically calculated? Is it perhaps a...

Re: The sound of the MG 34

Looking at spob16 (Germany) in Mobhack, the majority of the appearances of the the MG-42 have the sound set as 117. So, why is 54.wav in Cross Sounds 1.0 intended for the MG-42? To match up with the...

Re: Speed of M10 GMC (US Army)

In addition to spob012 USA units 016 & 020, there are some other WinSPWW2 OOBs using the M10/Wolverine/Achilles that will need to be taken care of, as well:

Re: Early War AAMG's on German Tanks

Fair enough. I hadn't picked up on it before since I normally focus on the '43-'45 timeframe. Over the past couple of weeks, I added Cross Sounds 0.9 and did a unit by unit review of spob16 to...

Early War AAMG's on German Tanks

That was from the thread "Starting core battle points" currently running in the WinSPWW2 root forum page.

Got to ask... what is the basis for some of the early war German tanks having an AAMG? I...

Availability Dates for PzKw IIIn, unit 944

Stumbled on this one: spob016, Unit 944, PzKw IIIn has availability dates of 1/44 to 8/43.

The other varieties of PzKw III's that are in that same unit type of "Infantry Tank" are available until...

7.5cm PaK 40 L/46

In the German spob016, the 7.5cm PaK40 (Weapon 052) should be L/46 instead of L/48. On the surface, the 2 calibers length difference doesn’t seem like much, but the devil is in the details. Below...

Re: Sound Mod for WinSPMBT

Good timing on this discussion! I've been doing some investigation recently into the sound files and MobHack to better understand why certain weapons have the sounds that they do in the game.

Re: all man, I am getting destroyed here.

I've played around with this scenario a bit, and tried flanking assaults to the right over the bridge, and up the direct route along the water. Not pretty either way. As Andy noted, it's a kill...

Re: Restricting smoke discharger fire

Tim,

If you select a unit, then right click, it presents a unit info screen. Just below the four line items of weapons, you have the line for Smoke Ammo. It will have a number of 0 or greater,...

Thanks for the clarification on the scenario specific edits.

Any ideas on what I'm seeing where an AAMG on an immobilized vehicle may not be able to fire 360 degrees?

Re: Stug AAMG\'s???

Fuel for the discussion on both the AAMG and the Finnish StuG with a coaxial MG:
