Kill: how many troops a round can kill in one shot. here it's HE = 3 and AP = 0.

Pen: Maximum armour penetration for HE/AP rounds

HEAT: Maximum penetration for HEAT type round

APCR: Max. pen. for APCR type round.

Range: Maximum ranges, first value for AP/HE/HEAT rounds and the second value for APCR rounds.

Warhead: the size of the actuall shell. used to deterimine for example the chances of extra damage when a round penetrates a tank. Probably also determines the chance for broken gear when hit does not penetrate.

Survivability: Determines how well a tank takes damage, this value is in effect when you fire several penetrating hits to a tank but don't cause any visible damage. (this correct Paul?)

Rate of Fire: afaik the maximum number of shots a unit can fire in one turn. I think to reach this amount you need an elite crew that has been stationary for a few turns?

IIRC, survivability is the chance of the crew living should the vehicle have a bad day. (like several penetrating hits, that do MASSIVE damage.) I may be mistaken, but I seem to remember having read that somewhere.

[Paul Vebber]

Good answers When a penetration occurs the size, survuvability, Warhead size and teh "extra penetration" left in teh round all factor into the hit chance applied to each system that can be damaged, or crewmember killed.
