Re: Limited Fuel

Yes, especially considering SPWW2 is about WW2 equipment which has been obsolete for decades. There's absolutely no reason to hide or give false information about WW2 equipment.

That said, SPMBT...

Re: Tigers vs Shermans

Well, as for Poland, the only produced tank (not counting tankettes) received a state-of-art AT 37mm Bofors. Other designs also were to be armed with newer AT guns. Even the tankettes started to be...

Re: Tigers vs Shermans

Both the B1bis and KV-1 had good enough guns to destroy any German Panzer in service frontally, the B1bis of course with the 47mm SA35 gun in the turret, while being completely impervious to German...

Re: Tigers vs Shermans

Yes, of course tank killing was a major part of the breakthrough tank role, but it was not the sole purpose of the Tiger as designed. Conceptually the Tiger had many fairly close predecessors, the...

Re: Tigers vs Shermans

Interesting clip mostly for the veteran interviews and "tank porn" (despite the T-55 based "Tiger" on action shots). Some sloppiness typical to documentaries for general audience such as the Tiger's...

Soviet 14.5mm ATR and 12.7mm HMG armor penetration test data

Like the title says, real data from Soviet WW2 archives:

Somewhat mysterious is the "DK" bullet for 12.7mm DShK MG. It's probably a...

Re: Gatling Guns

Re: A couple of noob questions:

You have already been given good advice, so I won't repeat that. The spotting ability of your tanks will get better with higher crew experience. Tanks crews with experience less than about 70 (green...

Re: A question

I have noticed that as well. The normal sound played with non-destructive penetrations is 22.wav, but the sound referred to by the OP is 72.wav (IIRC). The latter happens so rarely that I am not sure...

Re: Soviet OOB11 corrections and suggestions

Useless against tanks, yes, especially later in the war. The Soviet ATRs also appeared relatively late in numbers and by that time the Germans were already retiring the Pzkw I and relegating the Pzkw...

Re: Polish OOB2 corrections/suggestions (v.6)

I have to object to that, Don. The corrections I suggested for the Finnish OOB hardly qualify as a "rewritten OOB". A large part of them were just small modifications like artillery range...

Re: Finnish OOB35 Corrections and Suggestions PART 1 -- Weapons

I aim to please.

Bunker stuff:

Re: German OOB 16: minor corrections

Those penetrations numbers are the same as given by Chamberlain, Doyle & Jentz in "Encyclopedia of German Tanks of World War
Two". They also give 40mm at 500 meters (same angle). I did make a stupid...

Re: German OOB 16: minor corrections

The AP/Sabot penetration of this weapon is also quite generous at 10. Hogg gives 94mm at 100 meters, which is the best number I could find for this gun, but since the penetration does not drop from...
