Two -weekers is a frame of mind rather than a set date

I originally voted Me-410. But when that dropped out, I switched to the B-25. Still hoping to get a 75mm spud gun with it.

B-25H will be the scourge of GVers. Anyone have any data on whether a 75mm shell will penetrate the roof armor of a Tiger? Also, did B-25Hs have both AP and HE shells?

Ostie and M16 K/D numbers are going to go up in the future..... at least for a couple of weeks. LTARs gonna love the release of that patch.

B-25 vs Osties and M-16s, now that will be a nice match up.

Doubt very much that a howitzer would have AP rounds.

Found the data:

Armour penetration (M72 AP shell, 457 m, at 30 degrees): 76 mm
