Title: Field , Naval Gunnery - AAA ranges, sighting, etc
Post by: Prospect on March 01, 2007, 07:32:50 PM

I've looked around for help on this in several different places associated with AH2, with not much success.  I've also made independent search queries, but came up dry.  Here are the questions anyway...

A)  Does anyone know the effective ranges for 37mm field guns, flak panzer, 20 & 40mm naval AA, 5-8in ship guns, etc?

B) Info on proper use of gunsights for the above?

C) Best tatics?

I actually haven't done that badly, just thought there had to be some guidelines somewhere.

Thanks for the help.

37mm (mannable guns)  6.5k out and 10k alt
20mm AI   about 5k away  10k alt
40mm not sure but id say about the same as 37mm.
flak panz can shoot about 6k away but waste of ammo beyound 3k.
5" AA guns  35k alt limit, 17k down range limit.
8" cruiser guns. 32k down range limit.

B) Info on proper use of gunsights for the above?

read the post by Zazen for flak panz, and 37mm mannable guns for how to best use gun sights.

5" just get use to leading your target. shoot where they WILL be not WHERE they are.

8"   shooting ground targets beyound 15k, zoom the map all the way in.
Hit W then use ur mouse to click on the map, on the target to shoot that
spot. when closer in (15k or closer) i put my mouse pointer on the horizon line, where the red + would be to give me a aim point. then i hit E so that i can elevate the guns but keep vis on targets. use the mouse pointer as aim ref and shoot .  even shooting ships @ long range i use the E method.

C) Best tatics?

when bombarding land targets like towns or fields, use the W mode and use the icons on the map for fields or towns or factories. Icons give u the
general bounderies of the target.

I actually haven't done that badly, just thought there had to be some guidelines somewhere.

Thanks for the help.
