RE: Less or no MGs in German vehicles

<t> The SPW 251/1 for example had one LMG assigned to the SPW that could be mounted either at the front or at the rear on a swivel mount. The PzGren. section could mount one of its two LMG in one of the unoccupied mounts. I just took a look at one of the Pz.Gren.Kp from Pz.Gren.Rgt 901 Pz.Lehr on 16 ...

RE: Estab Editor XML File Structure

Hello,

could you please explain why the MG151/15 has a lower percentage to hit at 500m than the .50 cal which has a percentage of 85% at 500m while the MG 151/15 is 76% at 500m?

RE: changing night groups to day



I did the same, changed the WS units in early 44 for some Ju-88 then onto He-219. The WS units performed a lot better once re-equipped.

RE: WWII FIGHTER ARMAMENT EFFECTIVENESS

<t> I gather the USAF took the wrong approach by arming their modern day fighters with a 20mm Gatling gun firing HE shells? As to falling in love with the "Kannon" no I just know the destructiveness of a HE shell compared to a bullet. Shrapnel is deadly, you have a greater chance to strike a lethal ...

RE: WWII FIGHTER ARMAMENT EFFECTIVENESS

<r> Thank you for the welcome Rob. Yes it is a very interesting read. I'm a cannon fan. You are very right that this debate has been around for many years. I walked away in late 90's from the study of WWII air combat as it was consuming to much of my free time. I have been following EDtBR since I ...

WWII FIGHTER ARMAMENT EFFECTIVENESS

<r> Hello all,<br/>
<br/>
I might be a new poster but have followed the EDtBR forums for months. I just wanted to share this great read about AC weapons in WWII. I'm sure it will raise some questions as to the game stats for AC weapons. <br/>
