What's a Mauser 30mm?

Ostwind is too damn hard to strafe, it still doesn't seem to know that it has no armor on top.

Lame. The real question is what is a "mauser 20" the slash means or, with a seperation, not a combination of the previous adjective.

barf.

Note that it is the turret that is weak..
Otherwise it is  PZ-IVs hull, but with turret replaced to 37mm AA turret, which gun crew and gun you might strafe.

Fishu,  well since it is based on that hull, do you know how thick the armour int the "roof" of the hull is?

I gather quite thin. Something for the gunner to stand on

Did some tests in the MA again, hehehe...

Eggs:

50KG "on top of the head" . No damage
250lbs : No damage
500lbs & above : Damage/death

Rockets:
2to8 in Ripples
Some damage (Turret or Pilot wounded) but the Osti never blew...

Cannons :

LW/JPN/RU:
30mm : NO damage (Over 500rnds in TA) Pilot wounded
20mm : NO Dmage whatsoever
12mm : ...

US:
20mm: Over a  5 seconds burst on target before the Osti explodes. a  1-2 seconds on Tgt will damage it.

NB: All these were done right on TOP of the Oostwind, meaning Damage was inflicted on top of the "O P E N " Turret...

You can put the Thickest armor on that thing, it's still OPEN TOPPED & even a BBGun should disable the gunner if fired from above... let alone, a Bomb...
