Title: Best HE Rounds
Post by: Yarbles on April 28, 2008, 01:06:41 PM

Probably easy for the old lags but does anyone have info on the relative strength of the HE rounds in the game?

Having looked briefly at the table, I would say the 17lbr HE is probably the same as the 3inch HE.  At any rate, it is less powerful than the 75mm of the LVT or panzer and less powerful than the 76mm on the T-34.

hmm incomplete list (although it says v2.12), i'd guess the 5" is ~150lb and 8" ~3x200lb

shame the website doesnt always get updated with patches, climbrate/speed charts for B25H and F4U-1A spring to mind...

Six inch shell on Ajax and Achilles (As in battle of the River Plate) weighed 100lb and an Eight inch would be dissproportionatley heavier. I would guess 250lb as Graff Spee 11 or 12" was 700 Lb so 8" about 250-300 ish.
