Re: AP rounds fired by arty
Made some test (I love doing tests with SPMBT...):
the poor English were the target, firing unit was US paladin.
Target were grouped by 8 (vehicles or team), with two paladin firing at each target group. Target were immobile...
Here are the losses ratio[%], with (20)= roof anti-heat armor:
Challenger 2 (20) [50%]
Warrior II (5) [90%]
Spartan (1) [90%]
LandRover (0) [35%]
Medium Truck (0) [35%]
Infantery (-) [15%]
(I got these figures after 5 tests)
I may have the reason why there is a lowest ratio of destroyed unarmored vehicle: the ammo are AP and it seem that unarmored vehicle are easily destroyed by HE but not by
AP...
A test with MRL confirms it: for MRL cluster ammo are HE ammo and it's able to destroy easily unarmored vehicles...
Does anybody know more about how SP deals with unarmored vehicles hit by AP rounds?
