Default Re: Shurzen

Heres something else of relevance.
see

4 bazooka hits on Panther road wheels. All made a hole in the wheel but left -no- impression on the inner wheel. ie the space between the wheels absorbed the blast, working exactly like schurtzen. The space between the wheels is less than the space schurtzen stands off at.
This is of course additional to the test mentioned in the first post (showing schurtzen defeats bazooka)
I still hope that one day schurtzen could be modeled correctly in the game, ie the HEAT value of the armour being greater than the bazooka/PIAT pen value.
I mean is there any example anywhere of a bazooka or PIAT penetrating shurtzen and the tanks main armour behind, no.
