Arty question

Would giving armor to off board artillery have any effect?
I am thinking about off board SPA artillery vs counterbattery fire here. Also is the size parameter a factor in off board counterbattery?

Re: Ideas how to improve WinSP MBT/WW2 !

I would wait before having the team spending time and effort on a program which has the guillotine hanging upon it while there is so much else to fix. Until units are actually issued with them I...

Re: Seeking info on .50 cal SLAP ammo

Then why were appliquè kits for the side armor issued in Afghanistan? It was vulnerable to HMG fire on the sides, that's why. Remember that it was supposed to float as well so trade offs in the armor...

Re: Ideas how to improve WinSP MBT/WW2 !

I guess he actually means that non paratroop infantry should have an increased death rate at landing and the machine translation mangled it.

Re: Body Armour

Sort of. They could be used to supplement tanks and regular infantry in a Fallujah style scenario I guess.
A limited number might be useful as an intimidation "don't mess with us" factor even in...

Re: Body Armour

Not so fast. For a start developing these unarmored exoskeletons into powered armor will still take some time, probably several years. Then even once that happens you will not be able to turn...

Re: Chemical Weapons

I think that in the latter case one could modify the various "searching", "rout/rally" options to simulate that.

Actually it is not a B1 equivalent as far role is concerned. The TU-160 in its basic configuration is a dedicated strategic missile carrier. It cannot carry bombs, only Kh-55 and Kh-15 missiles (and...

Re: Ideas how to improve WinSP MBT/WW2 !

I haven't studied the problem in detail but, from some WW1 sources I have read, it would appear that more often than not artillery would simply kick it around without opening a breach in it.

Re: Body Armour

On a purely anedocte basis it seems that you can get shot at with an AK-47 and if the bullet hits the hard plates you can get away with minor bruises and be still combat effective, but this of course...

Re: Body Armour

Re: Body Armour

Re: Iraq errors report

Game wise I think that weapon n.158 in the iraqi OOB would be a good fit. That would also avoid using up another weapon slot.


EDIT
In reality what type of ammunition has been purchased so far...

Re: Iraq errors report

The new iraqi army has been using T-72 since the end of 2005. Judging from the pictures they appear to be T-72M/M1 variants (mostly T-72M).Hungary was the supplier.

Re: Iraq errors report

Unit 351 Jeep/106 RCL, availability date 2005-2020.

Incorrect availability date. As described in the previous post it should be changed to something like 1/57-4/103.

No such thing currently in service. To be honest it is unclear what this unit is supposed to represent. ASTROS rockets were used by truck mounted MRLS...
