M4 Sherman 105 CS

[TMO]

Just noticed that the 105mm M4 how has aarm, aper and bombard all checked. Clicking on each gives the load values as 20, 46 and zero respectively. In contrast, the 95mm how on the Cromwell VI and Churchill VIII only have aper and bombard checked. Their loads for these are zero and 66 respectively. Are these guns configured correctly?

Yes, aper and Bombard both use the same HE round. It doesn't matter which one got seeded in the estabs.

Looking at the performance tab for weapons and it seems to me that aper implies direct fire only, whilst bombard indirect. Does this mean the Cromwell and Churchill CS can employ indirect fire?

Depends on the Force estab that the vehicle/weapon is assigned to. The Force estab has the check box "can bombard" which dictates whether the unit can call indirect fire, regardless of whether the weapon has a bombard column associated with it.

In the case of the above vehicles, no forces associated with those vehicles can bombard.

Thanks Richard.
