RE: Be aware of the Gun-launched missiles

<t> I'm of the same opinion.<br/> <br/> I don't think 125mm gun launched ATGMs would be as effective as other, bigger bored ATGMs.<br/> <br/> The penetration ability of a HEAT round, including ATGMs, is proportional to the diameter of the round.<br/> <br/> So the penetration of a 125mm gun launched ...

RE: Helicopters won't fly straight

<r> I remember reading about F-15s when they first got to Germany picking up speeding Porsches on the autobahn with their pulse-doppler radar.<br/> <br/> I also heard that helicopter drivers found about this and then would fly above traffic on the autobahns so as to make it more difficult for the fi...

So sorry for your loss Jim.

Family come first and you'll need to concentrate on them. Doubt if you'll be able to think of anything else anyway.

RE: Campaign changes

RE: Looking for some information to help Souther Storm!

<t> The Brits are just about exactly the same as US.<br/> <br/> Some British Army battalions use strange terms for Sergeant, eg Corporal-of-Horse, the origin of which is deep in unit history but everybody else just understands it as another term for Sergeant, so just ignore it and use Sergeant.<br/>...

RE: Russian Tank Battalion Tactics

<t> I like a bit of chaos and randomness in a battle.<br/> <br/> I like the World-at-War boardgame series where if you roll a 2 or 12 when checking a unit's morale something weird happens, eg roll on a chaos table.<br/> (Yes, I know other boardgames have a similar mechanics, eg Squad Leader).<br/> <...

RE: Faith in the game.

<t> I think I've seen that paper. My boss had a copy, usually on his desk. I used to rib him that he had a hand in writing it, but with at least 6 feet head start when saying so. (I don't think he started work on tanks till the 80s so a bit before even his time).<br/> <br/> My boss also produced the...

RE: Faith in the game.

<t> It's interesting reading that US M-1 crews used only one or two rounds to 'qualify' a tank.<br/> <br/> In some ways that's good in that you're using less ammunition. <br/> <br/> It's also good that you're using a fleet average as the benchmark to judge against. Even better if you can get all veh...

<t> It was quite easy.<br/> <br/> In the scenario editor click on a unit on the map and then click on the right hand panel and get the OB display up. The OB helps with selecting the units I find.<br/> <br/> Now click on a unit you want to change. Right-mouse click and top of the list is 'Unit parame...

Voodoo = MPI(x), MPI(y), SDs, 3m square with 9 aiming marks, wild rounds, fleet average?

<t> Thanks Jeff, I feel happier knowing that a boatload of relevant experience is in the team [:)]<br/> <br/> On Soviet tank gun accuracy they don't use an MRS (muzzle reference system) on their guns. <br/> An MRS really helps with long range accuracy but also for maintaining accuracy after 10+ roun...

RE: Faith in the game.

<t> Yep, winding down the defenders initial responsiveness to about 50% and upping the attackers starting responsiveness from ~90% to 100% is having a big effect on the scenario, but quite a good one.
