pardon my ignorance, but what's a bore cannon?

[BenDover]

Adjusted large bore cannon lethality against non-armored targets.

eh?

[paulieb]

"Large bore" referring to the size of the cannon... probably the 75mm in panzers, etc.

[BenDover]

so does that mean the panzer's AP rounds will be even weaker against m3s/m16s?

U got bore and smooth bore.

With a bore gun the bullet or cannon round leaves the barrel turning radial on the axis this helps stabilize the round.

With smooth bore the projectile needs other way off stabilizing for example fins would be added.

smoothbore guns can get higher velocity because the projectile doesn't have to follow the curling patern within the barrell.

bore is equivalent science speak for "inside diameter"

Big bore just another way of saying large caliber

[BUG_EAF322]

hmm

Yes, now large-bore cannons will be totally inneffective against non-armored targets.

Actually, it sounds like the lethality is being increased so that the large cannons are more effective against non-armored targets.  Why else would an adjustment be needed?

because half-tracks can't kill tank easy enough?

[Wotan]

try 30mm 37mm 40mm vrs m3 m16

[SunKing]

probably meaning Tanks vs Buildings that everyone complains about.

A cannon that talks a lot about things you have no interest in.

Yessir, that's why we recruited him-that razor sharp wit of his.

An artillery piece that uses Lasz for ammunition.

"Bore" actually refers to the process of drilling/boring the barrel. Just like the bore of the cylinders in your car.
