Thanks Pyro...there doesn't appear to be any reason that the 88mm Tiger AP or the 75mm Panzer AP rounds should not get a kill from hits on the sides of the turrets or the sides of the hull.




I don't suppose there is any chance of getting 20 rounds of depleted uranium HVAP sabot rounds is there?

Found a bug in the Shermans that is putting additional armor behind the gun shields.  This will be fixed in the next version.  Avoid shooting them in the gun shield for now.

No wonder the Sherman's ability to shrug off turret hit after turret hit did amaze me for years.
