Hi All
I would just like to draw attention to an anomally in the American OOB, the M8 and M20 share the same hull, however the M8 unit 028 has hull armour values of 3,2,2 while the M20 has 2,1,1. As they have the same hulls, obviously one is wrong. The actual values are
Hull Front (Upper) 16 mm at about 70 and 50 degrees
Hull Front (Lower) 19mm at about 40 degrees
Hull Sides (Upper) 9mm at about 40 degrees
Hull Sides (Lower) 9mm at about 30 degrees
Comparing the real values with the in game values using the formula Y/cos(Z)=X, it appears the M20 2,1,1 values are correct.
By the way I did bring this up in the DOS forum but it appears to have slipped under the radar.
Best Chuck.

It appears the M8's hull should be 2-1-1 and the turret on the M-8 (not listed above) 2 all round. On the to-do for all WW2 users, and for MBT users as well.
