Re: Choice of AP or HE?
Hey this is slightly off topic, but relates to HE/AP. Wouldn't it be great if medium and heavy machine guns were handled like armor main guns in the selection of HE/AP rounds? Not sure exactly when the various munition types were adapted (might be more suited to WinMBT), but it would add to realism a bit more.
For the .50 cal. BMG alone there are regular ball, tracer, armor piercing, incendiary, and saboted sub-caliber rounds. Not sure how they were used under actual circumstances. Perhaps the results would be negligible in the overall scheme of things, but I still feel it would add some flavor. Currently all rounds are listed as HE, which I'm sure was probably the most common round at the time.
