That was fast. Thanks.

I know that historically they were at a disadvantage, but how do I fight their armor? I've found the 2-pounders are having difficulties even knocking out the half-tracks. They penetrate easily enough, but the tiny warhead does little damage.

Alby, is there any chance you can rehost the patches on Megaupload? The mediafire isn't really cutting it.

Doesn't work for me either.

<t> I've managed to complete one, as the US Army on the Western front. Right now I'm in December of 42 as the Germans in the West (oh god these tigers are fun.

That happened to me once, only it was the first battle in Africa. Early 41 I think?

<t> I just hit May of 1941, and I have two choices. The 50mm Pak, or the 75mm RCL. I'm wondering, what role does the RCL play? It's far less accurate, has much less ammunition, smaller crew size, same weapon size, much less penetration, same movement speed, and costs more. The 5cm's AP round has bet...

I just noticed that unlike every other HE round I've looked at, the HE for their 2cm gun has a pen value that decreases with distance listed. Why is that?

I've recently read about wire meshes and other such things being added onto tanks in order to try to defeat shaped charge explosives by prematurely detonating them. How effective was this, and how widespread was its use?

Them being listed in pounds makes it harder to quickly compare them with those of other countries.

Thanks.

Such as, with a 3.7cm Kwk38 L48, what's the length? 48 cm? That seems awfully short for a cannon.

No thanks, I think I'd prefer learning how to manage to get better than a draw against the AI before playing a human opponent.
