Be careful about teaching Grandma to suck '7mm' (Spanish?!) Mauser eggs indeed, lest ye be teaching her to suck '66mm' bazooka rounds as well Ammo.
66mm? I assume that was a typo and you meant 60mm, i.e. 2.36"... Must be Murphey's LAW striking eh? <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0">

Is there an icon editor out there somewhere, or perhaps an icon guru?
I feel the need for obscure aviation (among other things) Brit Westland Whirlwinds and Soviet (as opposed to Spanish or Chinese) I-153 Tchaika's and I-16 Ishak's... <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0">

<t>A possible solution to this involves a bit of simple hacking of the OOB's. <br/>
Duplicate the offending weapon(s) and set the duplicate's class to '02- Secondary Infantry'. Then ensure that the units that have these extra weapons in slots 2-4 have the class 02 weapons in there. I think you'll ...

<t>SVT = Samozaryadnya Vintovka Tokareva. Or to give it it's full title: Samozaryadnya Vintovka sistemi Tokareva obrazhets 1938g/1940g which translates to Model 1938/1940 Tokarev self-loading rifle system.<br/>
Lovely gas-operated, tilting bolt self-loading rifle in 7.62x54Rimmed feeding from a 10rd ...

<t>Both, sort of.<br/>
The 'stinger' on the nose of the bomb is where the fuze is mounted, providing the correct (hopefully) stand-off distance to allow for proper jet formation.<br/>
One other nasty problem of the PIAT, (there are more!?) was that the safety arrangements for this fuze were pretty ...

<t>PIAT = Projector, Infantry Anti-Tank in the usual garbled UK military nomenclature... <img src="wink.gif" border="0"> <br/>
It is actually a spigot mortar, one of the family of designs attributable to Lt-Col. Blacker. Derived from the 1941 'Baby Bombard' the PIAT uses a HUGE (think jeep ...

<t>Admittedly this is a bit of a generalisation, but as the game has been updated with newer versions point costs for equipment have increased. (Perhaps this will change with V7.)<br/>
For example in V6.1:<br/>
M5A1 Stuart; 110pts<br/>
M4A3(76)W Sherman; 160pts<br/>
M10 Wolverine; 125pts<br/>
M4A1 ...

<t>Um, Pantherblaster that list of equipment comes out to nearly 4000pts worth in V6.1! (Actually around 3800pts depending on infantry squad makeup...)<br/>
The campaign starts you with only 1400pts at best, plus 400 for each battle to replace losses etc... What version are you using?<br/>
Lost my ...

<t>Currently on 'Bogeyman Hill' after 7 missions (6DV and 1MV)... My core force is now:<br/>
A US Armd Engineers (HQ)<br/>
B 1x Platoon (5) M4A3(76)W Shermans<br/>
C 1X Very Mixed Platoon (2) M5A1 + (1) Captured Tiger IE + (2) M36 Jacksons<br/>
D 1x Platoon US Armd Inf (2 rifle sqd + 1 Eng Sqd + 1 ...

<t>How on earth are you people affording all of this??? I am currently playing UtR (Ver 6.1 truetroop ON, rarity ON, all values at their defaults except for search which I set at 120% US as this was mainly going to be advance missions, and I know what WBW's campaigns are like...) all I could afford ...

<t>Oh boy, here we go...<br/>
I see the 2pdr argument is flaring up again. The simple fact of the matter is that the 2pdr was, unquestionably one of the best AT guns of its generation.<br/>
Now before I get abused I must stress: OF ITS GENERATION! i.e. PAK35/36, Type 94, 20K m1932/34 etc... It is ...

<t>I too would like to see the T-54 ingame, so here is some info not in the previous posts:<br/>
<br/>
T-54 MBT (from Jane's Armour & Artillery 1995/6)<br/>
Prototype completed in 1946 (Obiekt 137 or B40).<br/>
Pre-series production commenced 1947 at Khar'kov.<br/>
Full scale production of initial ...

<t>I suspect the main cause of the problems people are having with ATR's of any type, is (as mentioned earlier in this thread) that the warhead size of these weapons (or most of them) is 2. The penetration values seem to be fine for most weapons. The oddball of the bunch is the PzB39 which gets a ...

<r>The Sten Mk.IIS is indeed a silenced weapon.<br/>
Interestingly enough, if you go poking round the UK OOB in the weapons section you can also find the DeLisle Carbine. The DeLisle was another silenced weapon (basically a bolt action silenced carbine which took .45ACP ammo from a standard GI ...

<r>I have to agree with Paul and Mike T. on the point of this thread (ATR penetration). ATR's seem rather less effective than they used to be. Watching the AI take out later model PzIII's (from the side mind you) at ranges of 4+ hexes regularly with PTRD's was quite a sobering experience in previous ...

<r>The .55cal Boys ATR using the AP W Mk2 cartridge (steel core, mv 3250f/s) should theoretically penetrate about 29mm of armour at pointblank range and 0deg impact angle. (This is extrapolated back using the geometric ratios of the game engine from the datum: 20mm/500m/0deg, which is the value for ...

If there is space available in an OOB, I see no problem with hypotheticals (of any nation.) They can be relegated to the "Dec 49er" slot and will therefore be available to scenario designers and so on, without being available to the masses who are trying to play a 'realistic' game.

<t>The pen of 178 for the M9 in SPWAW 5.01 was there for game mechanics. If I understood Paul's explanation, most of the time HEAT pen will be 3/4 of the listed maximum (with some exceptions). This meant that Infantry HEAT should be performing near optimal r/l performance (120 odd mm for the M9 ...

D'oh, double posted!
Guess that makes me elite too eh?

LOL
Sven, you are too evil!
Remember though, only early war Russians should be considered elite. Later on they get rather worse or is it better????
