Default Re: Off-map artillery

Unfortunately all my books are boxed ATM and probably will still be into early summer so I cannot compare your Hogg data to mine.

There could very well be cases where distance quoted in yards was directly applied to the range of a gun without converting to metric.

For the most part your "issues" are with gun range data that have been in place for years and aside from imperial - metric conversion errors could easily have come from sources that differ from yours. As I have stated many times..... data for something as "common" as a Tiger 1 still varies from source to source enough that , in game terms there would be a 1 point difference in speed if one source was used instead of another......... my point is we may , or may not be "wrong" in some cases and since we both relay on other peoples research all we can do is say " my source says this ". In our case we don't keep a record of every change made and the source used ( If I had to do that I can assure you there is no way the game would have gotten this far....) so while you may say that source X gives an equivalent of 212 range and we give it 210.....that's the way it goes sometimes with 60+ year old data

That said all this has been copied to the to-do list for review in the fall
