Default Re: The Merkava 4 MBT

You seem to ignore that the ROF is only used in SP for determination of ROF for indirect arty fire, so it' totally useless in the case of a MBT, for which the ROF is only determinated by the experience of the crew...
Mmh, you seem to be right, I don't know why I thought the Leclerc actually had more shots than the Abrams. What disturbs me though is that I just tested the thing, but I was unable to change the ROF ratio of my tanks... Edited a test scenario, deployed some tanks, edtied their data to have a range of ROF values with constant M/E, but when testing the scenario all my Abrams were back at ROF=6. Am I missing something or have I done something wrong?

Anyway I remind reading in some help file that the actual number of shots was related to a ROF/warhead size ratio. Is that only for artillery? If so, how can there be some discrimination among similar weapons with actually different ROFs IRL?
