Re: Aussie Cent MG and SB2C Helldiver 20mm models

OK, got it, thanks for the correction, I guess I got it mixed up with the .50 MG. My bad.

Re: AP rounds fired by arty

I didn't do any test on that, but I'm beginning to wonder if it isn't smothing related to the way soft vehicles are dealt damage (any damage).

Try firing against trucks or such with a tank or any...

Re: Aussie Cent MG and SB2C Helldiver 20mm models

Er, isn't that 20mm Polsten on the Centurion only used as ranging gun? If so, it shouldn't appear in the OOB due to limited ammo and no combat use, I guess.

Re: Future European Combat Systems (Germany + Fran

Well, the Germans did, and were among the first western countries doing so. A little something called Marder SPz, procured in more than 2000 units by the Bundeswehr from 1971 onwards......

Re: Future European Combat Systems (Germany + Fran

Clearly both aren't designed for the same purpose, are they? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Mods of vehicles.

IMHO how it turns out in the long run would be as much a matter of international politics, e.g. which coultries support which side. You could actually have either hard-pressed rebels or a staggering...

Re: Mods of vehicles.

Good idea, that could make a funny campaign. Go on!

Thinking about it, you can edit most of the stuff from the scenario editor, as long as you have US units swapping US weapons (e.g. an M60 with...

Re: AP rounds fired by arty

If you look at the orbats, you'll see that the AP (cluster) rounds tend to have both kill and penetration in various ratios, meaning that most are effective against both infantry and armor.

Re: MOD Project Interest

That's a very kind offer, DD, and I think that should raise some interest around here.
For one, I'd be glad to have hosting space and community support for my mod, though I don't know if it would...

Re: Metis-M & Kornet AT Missiles vs. Merkava Tanks

If you dig a bit further into it, I think you will find that NERA is another (commercial) name for a type of composite armor also called bulging armor, which uses a layer of soft non-metallic...

Re: Red Army = most effective force !

The first Russian (not Soviet) tanks to use TI sights were upgraded versions of the T-90 and T-80UM series using nonstandard imagers based on the imported Catherine sensor technology (I think). SO it...

Re: A long road

***GAME SCALE ALERT!!!***

First a reminder: one movement point in the game (i.e. one hex per turn, one speed point) equals roughly 3 (three) km/h or 2 mph.
Take that into account when calculating...

Re: Question on ATGMS secondary attack roles...

From what I recall, the Hezbollah used old-style AT-3-series ATGMs against entrenched infantry. I think it may be better and easier to use another unit class for HE-only missiles, so you can run both...

Re: Panzerfaust 3 IT-600

Given the 'improved accuracy' rethoric on everyone's website, I'd say that the IT-600 sight gives decent hit probability against moving targets out to 600m as opposed to 300m for the basic PzFSt-III....

Re: Panzerfaust 3 IT-600

Just checked the Bundeswehr website.
They make no mention of the IT-600 in their 'current weapons' page, so surely not in service yet. (here for PzFst page...

Re: Question on ATGMS secondary attack roles...

As with ATRL/RPG/LAW-type thingies, you can add values to the HE parameters of the weapon, then give HE ammo to the missile team/vehicle. As a rule, HEAT rounds will not be used against soft targets...

Re: Tank Speeds too slow?

Smersh, are you referring to game speeds as kmph?
As far as I can recall, a unit's game speed rating isn't expressed in kmphs. I've checked the OOBs and 18 is a T-55s game speed, so it will do 18...

Re: Metis-M & Kornet AT Missiles vs. Merkava Tanks

Illegal copies of RPG-29s??

Doesn't sound too surprising from the Hezbollah, at least in principle, but that one is a bit of a high-tech weapon.
