Well, I'm back - maybe to eat a little crow. I just looked at all the various personal AT weapons that are available in SPWAW. While the bazookas are not the most powerful (the german weapons are), they have by far the greatest ranges. The M1 bazooka has a range of 6; the M9 bazooka has a range of 7. (The Panzerschreck has a range of 4.) Perhaps these are a little too much, especially considering how ubiquitous the bazooka is among US squads. This does kinda fit with the max ranges I saw quoted for the bazooka, though.

Now I haven't tested how range affects the 'to hit' probabilities, though I know I generally won't let my squads shoot a bazooka at anything more than 3 hexes away - it's just a waste of ammo. (Actually, I like to wait for a two-hex shot.) I guess if the accuracy is consitantly poor at the higher ranges I'd be less inclined to lobby for a change in the OOB.

Thanks,

The 47mm is a rifled, vs the Bazooka smooth bored rocket, if there range was cut down to four or even three then I would not have a problem. A op fired the Bazooka will fire more shots than its max, that and the range are my chief complaints
( Sorry Chief). I don't no how op fire is caculated, and if its a bug someone let me know:p

It's not tactics, I've played way too many good opponents. I know when the sheets are pulled over my eyes. Armor being killed with one shot does'nt fly, weather playing as Axis or Allied at 25+ hexs. I have found that playing with Historical values off set to 100% for both sides however has made it possible for the German armor to get a kill or two before dying. This has made it more real for me. I never said I wanted a super armor force. just an even chance to win with the right tactics. Yes this spwaw7.1 is the most historical one yet. Good work. I keep forgetting most want accurate battle. I like the" what if " they had better leadership.
The campaigns and scenerios play fine. I was merely talking about "live" games or email build a battle. So say what you will and most have here. have a Good Day and Battle on......
