<t>Hey all<br/>
<br/>
Wondering if you can help me out here. I am doing research concerning the American army's doctrine and decision making process from 1941-1944. Specifically, why Torch in 1942 Husky 1943 and finally Overlord in 1944?<br/>
<br/>
I am familiar with the predominate historiography ...

Kluckenbill - The "team" MGs DO kill a lot. The LMGs the squads carry I find do not do nearly the same damage to troops in the open than the primary infantry weapon. Since the squad is only carry one, this makes sense. The SMGs will typically wipe out 6 or 7 men if ...

Check out the United States Marines maunual (and the Army as well) in the Pacific campaign. You you find lots of flamethrowers.<br/>
<br/>
The reason why they were not used so much on the Russian steppes and the plains of Aquataine is because of two reasons. Like in the game ...

Possum -

I guess not. I am guessing the support weapons are hardwired as I was messing around with the OBBs and making the LMG the primary weapon and still had the same results. Thanks for the info.

<t>My vague recollections from old sources - <br/>
<br/>
ACC - effective accuracy (I believe range) of the weapon<br/>
Kill - How good it kills infantry<br/>
Pen/Heat - armor penetration<br/>
Range - Doh!<br/>
<br/>
Looking at my German Special Ops I see:<br/>
Weapon ACC KILL Range<br/>
MP39/40 SMG ...

Easier said than done. If an 88 - or even more annoying a 40mm AA gun - is sniping tanks from a range of 25 hexes, then there isn't much one can do. HE rounds and MG that miss the infantry are shrugged off. Any suppression resulting from artillery will be rallied. I find smoke ...

<t>I think the flamethrowers are representative of what really happened. Flame tanks are thin skinned and must be *very* close to do their job...from my experience they are only very good at mopping up already heavily suppressed and unsupported units (i.e areas you already effectivly control and ...

<t>First off - This was very well thought out and SO much better than any of the previous incarnations of steel panthers, I cannot imagine how I liked them before. There are a few things I'd like to bring to your attention.<br/>
<br/>
When Infantry move, they always register as 2 MPH, regardless of ...

<r>This is the first time I got to play the new version of Pacwar (dont ask) so forgive me if this is a dead issue. Anyway it is May 1942 and I currently have a saved game where on the very next turn 5 US carriers take on the 11 Jap Carriers of Ceylon. The Brits have Columbo, the Japs have the other ...
