Re: Italian tankettes
Hi Pat G
It does look as though sights are the reason for the short range which I accept for the twin 8mm, the fore-sight used seems to be a lump of metal about the size of a thumb. However I cant be sure without a picture but Id put good money on the 20mm cannon coming with something a bit better. So I would think the standard 30 range would be better than the current 10 for this weapon.
I also notice that the cv carrying the 13.2 mm MG has a range of 20. Now in the old days (v6 of the game) there were quite a few guns with 20 range for example from the British OOB units 001 Mk IIa, unit 002 Mk VIc (coaxial gun that is) and unit 126 Rolls Royce A/C. Like the CVs these are very early war vehicles and probably had very poor or no sights at all which is why they got range of 20. After v6 it seems all these weapons just got allocated the same range as the tripod MGs for some reason. To me it looks as though the the Itlaian 13.2 MG (weapon 231), missed out at this time and should have a range of 40 not 20. Personally I would prefer the weapons that used to have range 20 to get that range back again, as i think this better reflects there rudimentary sights.
Best regards Chuck
