Re: Aircraft weapons

DRG,

I know that most all air gun attacks start a 250 to 300 meters in the game.
The longer range figures are to enhance the effects of the sabot rounds at close range. And it worked. Some of the...

Re: Aircraft weapons

DRG,

There are pick out there on the net you just have to look. One of the sites I looked at had a pic of a Serbian M-84 that was destroyed by the GAU-8. No big holes just the turret blown off...

Re: Aircraft weapons

Again I ask, why mount the huge GAU-8 whan a much smaller weapon could do the same job? If it did not have a distinct advantage why not just use a 20mm Vulcan?
With all the research that went into...

Re: Aircraft weapons

As I said before ALL DU penetration stats are CLASSIFIED. The 69mm at 500 meters figure just does not add up.
Again why would the US invest all that time and money to create this huge weapon and...

Re: Aircraft weapons

Look up the book by Bill Gunston called,

Re: Aircraft weapons

From what I understand the Navy no longer uses a DU round.

The only inovation between the GAU-8 and the Bushmaster is that the Bushmaster has a built in fuse setter for its HE rounds that the...

Re: Aircraft weapons

Then we have a problem of inconsistancy in the game.
In the USMC OOB weapon number 077 30mm Bushmaster has a Sabot Pen of 12. Weapon number 190 the GAU-8 mounted on the A-10 has a HE Pen of 9.

Re: Aircraft weapons

DRG,

Re: Aircraft weapons

All I'm saying is that the way it is set up now I have in MOST scenarios played seen NO tank kills and NO immobillizations. When it does happen only one or two MBTs are effected in a given scenario....

Re: Aircraft weapons

DRG,

Tried to tweek the A-10 with some results as far as the gun goes without adding PEN. As you said in an earlier post it may be how the game handles multi-barreled weapons on aircraft. I'm glad...

Re: Aircraft weapons

DRG,

The two kills with on shot has only happened twice in three test runs of a 1992 scenario {US vs Iraq} with the Iraqis having over 200 tanks. So this as you said is not common.

Re: Aircraft weapons

I had a Maverick kill two tanks in different hexes, so this is a problem. But why can't the A-10's 30mm gun kill a tank? After all was'nt the gun was designed to do this? At least once on occation?

Re: Artillery smoke question

How about guns larger than 105mm and hoitzers 155mm and less can fire smoke?

All but the biggest of mortars (81mm and up) should be able to fire smoke.

Re: Whats your opinion on experimental gear in MBT

What about the M113 mounting Hellfire missiles, or the M1A4 Abrams with the 140mm gun? Im not sure if the game can model a guided tank gun round with a 8000 meter range though!...
