<t>Hi,<br/>
<br/>
Just to complete about the HEAT rifle grenade developped by Brandt (I never said they invented the HEAT concept) :<br/>
At the end of 1939 Brandt developped a 50mm HEAT rifle grenade. It had a range of about 100m and an armor penetration of 40mm. It entered in production during May ...

<r><QUOTE author="AmmoSgt"><s>[QUOTE=AmmoSgt]</s> Bazookas may not seem germain to the 1940 period for the French , but they were a key French weapon in 1944 ( and much of the Bazookas development is based on French research ).<e>[/QUOTE]</e></QUOTE>

Of course Bazookas have been used by the French ...

<t>Hello,<br/>
<br/>
At the beginning I started that thread to expose elements about the French equipment, just to discuss equipment datas and certainly not to start a debate on "are Germans or US over/under rated" and things like that. I just try to bring in elements to improve the accuracy of the ...

<t>Wow ... I never intended to trigger such a heated debate about nations' discrepancies etc. My single point was just to post details/info/proposals about the army I know the best, that is to say the French army which I like to study as well as I do for the German army. I already sent many ...

<t>For the 47mm AT gun I have an old French official army document about dispersion and ballistics of the 47 mm gun on TEST MOUNTS ...<br/>
<br/>
1) dispersion :<br/>
<br/>
At 500m 10 shots in a square of 55x53 cm<br/>
At 200m 15 shots in a square of 10x20 cm<br/>
<br/>
Seems not worse than German ...

<t>Hello,<br/>
<br/>
I am just wondering about the poor AT capabilities of the French tanks in SPWAW. The best tank AT gun in 1939/1940 on the French battlefield seems to be the German 37mm which is wrong. For many reasons (1-man turret ...) the German tanks might be slightly better but the 47mm ...

This page is full of "errors" and above "errors" just free insults and that's just free anti-French rant ...

David

Yes I agree with you but I lack reliable info about that precise point. As I said the single example I know of napalm use in France is against the Germans entrenched in the French and Anglo/French islands. Perhaps also against few Britanny pockets.

David

I think napalm had been used massively in WWII since 1942 but mainly on the pacific TO. Nevertheless napalm was largely used against the French islands still hold by the Germans after D-Day. On the western TO white phosphorous incendiary bombs had been more massively used.

David

H2H better simulates the artillery, as well as MG and mortars fires. Just my opinion.

Just use the @ key.

<r>Hi,<br/>

David I am just currently sending you different files I wrote/compiled, hoping that could help somewhat.<br/>

<r>Hello everybody,<br/>
<br/>
I have made a document about the French Army in 1939/1940 in order to eventually improve the French OB in SPWAW. I already send it to Jörg Löwenstein for the H2H patch. It contains also several notes, comments, pics, a small weapons "database" that could interest the ...

Hello,

here is the url of the French SPWAW addicted

ok that means that by designing the map you have to use the nations, year, month and deploy you think will be used further in the pbem game.
Thanks !

David

yes I managed to play germans against US in july 1944 and they are deployed on the left part of the map.

David

no ... on some maps I had alternatively germans in 1944 on the right or on the left with their retreat hexes ... damned editor ... something is random or I don't know ...

I don't manage to have that thing working, something seems to be set randomly too .... <br/>

<t>Hello, <br/>

I already posted this topic in the tech forum but I will more likely get a response in this one ...<br/>
We encounter serious problems when using the pbem mode of the game (version 7.1). The fact is that the retreat/reinforcment hexes are very often, almost always, on the bad ...
