Hi,

I noticed that the Geballte Ladung has varying ammo types depending on the unit equipped with it. Many have purely HE but a few have a mix of HE and AP. Since HEAT rounds have a secondary HE effect in ver. 2 should they all be AP only now?

Thanks,

Adrian

I think geballte ladung is a german term for satchel charge and should have same stats, i.e. HE penetration for anti-tank use. So no AP ammo for it.

The "Satchel Charge" is weapon 84 (Sprengladung =Explosive charge )not weapon 229 (Geballte Ladung == loosely translated a clustered bundle of explosives). The Satchel charge should be weapon 84 in all the OOB's. 84 is called "Geballte Ladung" in the Slovak OOB but that's a (minor) error

So... should the Gebaltte Ladung be HE or AP or both? Becuase all three variations are present in the German OOB.

Thanks,

It can be either or. It's set up to be used that way. There is no "right" or "wrong"
