It isnt the M1 I have issue with, it is the T64s. Spotting something that small, while being shot at and jockying around is a tall ask. Likely why shots this long are not the norm in combat. Good news is that I think the guys have already addressed it.

600mm would be an M1A1(HA) which is in the game as well. As noted the two M1s are fall outs as non pen "kills". There is a RoF bug William found that will drop the rounds and possible kills down some for both sides.


Not according to Zaloga, he has a different line for the M1 (HA) which shows ...

One comment on the range.
In Bil's save game, the distance between hex centers was 3700m. Given 500m hexes, and the game modeling the vehicles being spread across the hex, some of the engagements will occur at 3200 (both vehicles 'forward' in the hex, so two times 250m closer to another), some ...

So to follow up on the targeting challenge. Using a simple relative size calculator:

At 4500m with the naked eye, a 3.3m tank is like spotting .73mm at a 1m range or a lead pencil tip. Now the guns of these tanks are firing so you will see sparks of light, which is going to ...

Ah, so it is possible to do some damage. A gun kill or mobility kill (although HEAT or HESH have a better chance than AP), but those are pretty small targets at 4500m.

I am also pointing at the M1 results. Those are 10 effective hits out at what was historically a record making ranges. This entire ...

If I may jump in here there are things that do not seem to be tracking here with respect to this example:

- 4500m is extreme long range for tanks of this era. In fact it is within a few hundred meters of the longest recorded tank kill in history (https://www.wearethemighty.com/mighty-history/the ...
