Era

[geoff]

Hi

I'm wondering, in real life, whether exposive reactive armor such as on the soviet tanks can be "set-off" by machine gun or cannon fire, and therefore whether it is a vaild tactic to engage a tank with machine gun or cannon fire before engaging with a "proper" AT weapon.

And if so, is this modeled in Win SMBT? I see in the game guide that ERA can be used up by repeated AP and HEAT hits, but cannon fire or maching gun fire isn't mentoned.

Secondly, how easily can used ERA slabs be replaced? Again, a real life question - I know this would be outside the game scale of Win SPMBT.
