New Range Stats for Tank Gun AP

[SmokinLoon]

Currently, the charts show penetration data for 0, 1000, and 2000 yards.  IMO, while the 1k and 2k are worth while and useful ranges to document, I think listing the point blank (zero range) is wasting 1/3 of the available data.

Instead, I propose the listing of the 400, 1200, and 2000 yards ranges.  First, it shows ranges that match the reticule marks in all of the tank guns in AH.  Secondly, it reflects more accurately the ranges in WWII in which tank guns were fired (400-1000 yards).  Not many tank guns were fired at point blank into enemy tanks.  Sure, there were more than 1 German tank destroyed by a 100 yard or closer shot, but for purposes in AH I think 400 yards would be a better representative to the real deal than zero yards.  The 400/1200/2000 yard ranges have intervals of 800 yards instead of the 1000 yard intervals.

I am being a devils advocate here, but you can make all the pretty graphs, charts and penetration tables, but still the best thing to do is hit it where it hurts the most.  guess what I am trying to say, is all that work and only a few people actually look at it.

Not that that information is not important, but I dont select a spit8 due to the alt/speed graphs added to the game.  I select it because it is a damn good turner, and someday I'll be really good in it.  same as the tanks, I dont care what the penetration tables are at 400,800 or whatever, I know that it will hurt it the most by hiting it on the side or the tail and I sure as heck dont have time to be checking no penetration tables, because for one, I dont have my true fire angle and second I dont really know his true elevation angle. 

Ok back to getting my meds ,
