Re: M10, Wolverine, Achilles Self-Propelled Guns

Revisit my first post - I'm saying the same thing I've been saying all along.

Re: M10, Wolverine, Achilles Self-Propelled Guns

Nah, I've done my stint of several years as an SPWW2 playtester, including a fair bit of OOB fiddling of this nature :)

Re: M10, Wolverine, Achilles Self-Propelled Guns

What I'm objecting to is the notion that Achilles should be used because it is an official name. It was, but only within the walls of the DTD. Everywhere else, the official name was SP, 3-inch, M10...

Just corroborating the notion that the PaK 97/38 was a pretty common weapon in the German Army - not suggesting what you should do with it in the game......:)

Re: M10, Wolverine, Achilles Self-Propelled Guns

Please don't :) These names were something created in the British Department of Tank Design as part of a general naming scheme for British and US tracked vehicles. They never caught on outside the...

Re: PaK 97/38

The standard German anti-tank guns like the 3,7cm PaK 35/36, 5cm PaK 38 and 7,5cm PaK 40 aside, the PaK 97/38 was probably the most numerous in terms of production of all the German anti-tank guns.

Re: PaK 97/38

AFAIK the first guns were issued late spring/early summer 1942 as part of a crash programme to provide the troops with something more adequate that the 3,7cm anti-tank gun to supplement the 5cm guns...

Re: SdKfz 222 Turret Question

The Sdkfz 222 turret and gun mount was specifically designed to allow the vehicle to engage flying targets (good old Chamberlain & Doyle: "Encyclopedia of German tanks....." says so on p. 192). That...

Re: Amazingly hard

That 100% sabot load is probably an error.

Unit 170 - the original T-18 - has a puny 37mm gun. One of those where sabot is used in order to restrict the AP range to reflect how feeble the gun...

Re: Amazingly hard

IIRC the little T-26 was intended primarily as an infantry support tank, so perhaps what you need for the type of operations you describe is something from the BT-series instead?

Re: M4 Duplex Drive question

They had landing craft with tanks on the upper deck providing fire support. The British used Centaur tanks armed with 95mm guns but IIRC landing forces also used Sherman tanks and 25pdr and 105mm SP...

Re: Valentine Tanks in NW Europe 44

According to Peter Browns tables of tanks in 21st AG, the only Valentines in NW Europe in June 1944 were bridgelayers, 33 in all with 8 in reserve.
By the summer of 1945, there are only three...

Re: King tiger turret armour

Such discrapancies can usually be explained by differences in the way thickness and angle are measured and possibly small differencies in plate thickness between different batches of armour.

Re: Panzer IV turret armour

Ausf. Ns were mainly based on Ausf L and M and had the same turret as they did, AFAIK. My references give a turret front thickness of 57mm for both types as well as Ausf. N.

Re: King tiger turret armour

The Tiger II front turret was 180mm sloped at 9 degrees. I cant get that to be more than 182-183mm, which, converted to centimeters and rounded off, will only give an armour thickness of 18 in SP...
