Re: Interesting Site: Wheeled vs. Tracked AFV (US

Gee, the end-all game encyclopedia, if THAT says the M113 is in everything more versatile it must be so...

Re: Interesting Site: Wheeled vs. Tracked AFV (US

Just as I thought then, you don't know what you're talking about...

Wheeled suspensions have advantages as well as drawbacks.

So.

Re: Interesting Site: Wheeled vs. Tracked AFV (US)

Sparky alert. This guy is a known nutjob so beware.

His main objective is to immortalize himself by fooling people into thinking the M113 was ever called "Gavin", a moniker he himself invented...

Re: UK IFV Warrior, new infomation.

Err...

Yes, that is exactly the question you're answering here, and your POV is that it shouldn't be represented.

I can live you having that POV, please live with me not sharing it. ...

Mkay, here it is (I hope)

I'm currently arguing with the utility vehicles and haven't gone icon-chasing for the naval stuff yet, so ignore these.

Pics and sounds have been set though, so if you...

Perhaps less use of absolutes are in order? Never say never and all that, it brings bad luck. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: UK IFV Warrior, new infomation.

Well, we either live with a flawed representation of the system or none at all... the game mechanics do not, probably will never, support this type of armour.

The reason why I'd set the AV a bit...

Re: UK IFV Warrior, new infomation.

In truth, gun launched HEAT rounds should usually not be affected by lightweight slat armour like that carried by the Stryker. The rounds are constructed a lot tougher mainly because they are...

Re: UK IFV Warrior, new infomation.

Which doesn't simulate its expected effects very well at all IMHO. the "best" simulation would be if you could "flag" the a protected area as covered by slats or not, and induce a failure rate (0-25%...

Re: UK IFV Warrior, new infomation.

This is directed to Plasma, but I will state my opinion anyway. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

IMHO a HEAT armour of 33 is what simulates this system best within the game...

Re: UK IFV Warrior, new infomation.

I said nothing about it being "untouched, I said it the standoff distance practically possible on vehicles of reasonable size will be pretty insignificant.

Re: UK IFV Warrior, new infomation.

I believe the main intention of the bedsprings were as a stopgap measure to protect against Panzerfaust and Panzershreck. The effect may have been mainly psychological though. But as early HEAT...

Re: UK IFV Warrior, new infomation.

Regarding the slat armour, this is how I have understood the matter.

The main intention with the armour is probably not just to increase standoff distance as the methods I mentioned in my earlier...

Re: UK IFV Warrior, new infomation.

Its older than that. Russians used to tie bed-springs to the outside of their tanks to interfere with HEAT warheads.

Back then the penetrator stream lost coherence pretty fast so the standoff...
