What AP Ammo is used in our Hispano

Krusty doesn't like to be wrong.

I'll take it due to the genisis of the game and it's original focus our rounds today are a legacy of a cluged HE round. Air to Air combat as the original driving force would have dictated the round.

Now...today on the farm.

We have a barn full of GV with specific armor tables from the drop down. Why is it unthinkable for Hispano ammunition to become job specific? The british saw a need to develop Hispano rounds that could pentrate 42mm of armor in North Africa/Med 1943 and India/Burma 24mm 1942. HurriC were used for ground attack duirng those periods.

I have no clue what round the U.S. NAVY decided would be loaded as thier default in the AN/M2. Anyone got a reference document for the NAVY?

Krusty, if you want us to have to wait in the bushes for 30 minutes for camoflauge to be set up, then you should have to fly 150 miles each way to your target, and for over an hour in each sortie.

Almost every aspect of distance and time has been compresed in Aces High, specificly to help fights. There no difference between giving instant-effect camoflauge to tanks, than to giving the fighters a short 25-40 mile flight to combat instead of the 100-200 miles that could be seen in real life.


And your pictures of all that open open terrain is completly misreprasentative of the maps. You'll find that type of enviornment maybe 1 time out of 40. The rest of it is more like this:


Or like this:


Just admit you're wrong Krusty, it will end up saving you some face later on.

tell me when the last time was, when you saw a tank hiding behind a building without aid of an icon? i guarantee if that icon was off you would have completely missed it.

You guys must actually play the game even less than I do.  Last time I went GV hunting, the icon disappeared any time I did not have direct LOS to the tank.  If he was behind a tree or in one of those open barns, or inside a hanger, he was invisible.  Wow, kind of like what you are asking for . . . .

Moving objects as large as a tank in relatively open terrain are very easy to make out from the air.  A tank sitting still in the open would also be easily identified if the pilot happened to focus on it.  Since the game does not offer a true 1 for 1 scale on what you are seeing, let alone complete color spectrum and lighting effects, icons (whether on the ground or in the air) are necessary to compensate.  Especially for those of us with 17 inch monitors and 8 year old graphics cards.

I've been playing for close to 6 years, and I haven't noticed the icon actually 'disapears' when the tank is under cover. Oh sure, maybe the object hes hiding in is larger than the icon, but I almost always have sight of the icon, even if the tank itself is hidden.

I can see tank icons perfectly fine when they are under trees and in barns, its a nice big red icon that usually reads "PNZR" or "M4".

I gather Tank-Ace will hijack any post he can to grant himself license to whine at HiTech until he gets the name of the game changed to Tank World. Along with the only bombs available 100lb practice dummies and aircraft bullets solid lead. At the same time GV invisibility paint perk mods for 3 points each sorte.

Tank-Ace what a sad existance that you are incapable of starting your own "Whine" post directly at HiTech about tanks and keep it populated with like minded players willing to challenge HiTech directly. From past experience I've gotten the impression if you want something in the game, HiTech may favor listening to those with the moxy to make their own posting and intellegently support it. Rather than those who show the character flaw of thinking by hijacking every post they can to whine their point incessently, that will force HiTech to pay attention to your personal displeasure with his game. I suspect it just gets you on his dweeb meter next door to his ignor meter in the same building with his Krusty meter.

Why don't you and Krusty get a room together and explore your differences Corporeally? I'm sure they are infinantly more facinating to yourselves than the membership of this forum.

[Krusty]

Don't lump me in with them.

Hey, it's your ankle Krusty, and he is in love with it.

Just pickup some "Ankle Love Begon" at the drugstore on the way to the motel. It's on the shelf next to the industrial duty cans of "Bear Begon". No one will hold it against you if you pick up the wrong can. In a hurry they look exactly the same on that shelf. "Ankle Love Begon" uses concentrated skunk extract and concentrated capsium while "Bear Begon" uses concentrated capsium. Just tell the judge you were in fear for your ankle's virtue.

Hey, dont look at me, i didn't start the hijacking. Its arguably not even a hijack, really we just went off on a parallel discussion. Seeng as this thread is about AP ammunition in the hispanos, which would increase their effectivness against vehicles, discussion of vehicles and how this could be kept from being unbalancing is perfectly reasonable.

And really buster, maybe 1 thread that I've hijacked. I don't care if its your time of the month or what, but don't take it out on us.

thats funny. you do realize you've hijacked more threads than almost anyone here right?

[Tank-Ace]

Lol, hardly son. I go off on tangents, I admit that, but the discussions are almost always connected in some way to the OP, or a related issue.

[Ack-Ack]

The funny thing is that GVs are already easy to spot from the air without the aid of icons.  They do tend to stick out like a sore thumb, especially the bright green M3s.

ack-ack

even funnier! half of your hijacks are nowhere near to the OP.
