Re: Ammunition discrepancies

I would appreciate it if you would stop misquoting me. I never used the word 'proof', I said 'looks like'.
I also never used the word "Poove" at any point either.

About the Maultier, there are...

Commonwealth CS thanks and smoke

I noticed that the British early CS tanks have had their smoke shells replaced with HE.

This is a critically important alteration because one of the main reasons British armour did so poorly...

Re: Commonwealth AC and tank discrepancies

OK good so I think we can agree then that unit 350 Staghound + Rkt never saw service. As far as the Tulip conversion, unit 351 I think the game text for the unit you quoted is an error, as regards...

Re: Commonwealth AC and tank discrepancies

British grant tank has the 2" smoke discharger mounted in the turret same as valentine etc.

Re: Commonwealth AC and tank discrepancies

Well the text should include the word prototype as there is no evidence these configurations saw service, but plenty to the contrary

Commonwealth AC and tank discrepancies

Valentine tanks in the game have no self defence smoke dischargers, Actually they did have them. The game picture of the Mk XI actually shows them mounted on the side of the turret. Up until Mk VII...

Re: Play balance issue? MG34 vs 50cal

That may be true Dion but probably only because HMG killing power is underrated in the game. The tripod mounted MG34 range is however definitely wrong. I think I have found a bug my bailed out...

Re: Play balance issue? MG34 vs 50cal

Yes I see your point DRG but the tripod is issued with the Scope on a 1 for 1 basis so yes they could choose to use the tripod without the scope. In which case it is exactly the same as all other...

Re: 15mm BESA and other autocannons

Personally I thought a comparison of the 15mm BESA to another similar calibre vehicle mounted autocannon would be more relevant that to infantry rifles. For example

Re: Play balance issue? MG34 vs 50cal

Hi Felix thanks for your interest. In a nutshell what I am saying is that all HMGs whether 30cal or 50cal or their equivalents should get a range of about 30 hexes. Because that is about as far as...

Play balance issue? MG34 vs 50cal

So comparing these two weapons It appears that the .50cal is overrated and the MG 34 underrated which I think substantially tips the game balance as there are so many of each weapon. US up Germany...

Re: Vehicle flamethrowers

Hi blazejos I think chemical warfare tanks had either smoke or flame installations, that is they are two seperate tank types. A smoke tank might be an interesting addition to the game
