Hehee!  Ill be looking for my respected Panzer enemies at base 27!  Especially you, Ripsnort!  Salute to your fellow tankers, Deluxe,  and Bullzi, to name a couple.  

With improved cannon penetration, you will be in serious trouble.  But I think I remember reading somewhere about AA for tanks.  Hmmm, could be very interesting.

Oh yeah, we have the local Knight civilian population digging an anti-tank trench around Base 27.  This should be completed in about 2 weeks.  A rather simple and backward people these Knits, but good workers!

Mickey, I do end user support for 10,000 techs and engineers.  They use a CAD/CAM program  that designs and "virtually builds" commercial and military aircraft.  I support them, and I multi-task using 14 computers for Alpha, beta and production testing.  The Internet sits in the background while I work, since we use the net for applications, troubleshooting, communicatinos, etc etc.

Wtg Aces High!!!!!!  I am pumped for these new features!!!!  NINEZ ....  Attacking 27 down the "BIG HILL"  will be more fun then ever!!!! I will just jump that tank ditch you are building around 27 by going 200 mph when I reach it.  lol   Sounds like we will have fun tank battles there too w/ no icon ranging in a tank.  Sounds like 27 is in more trouble now.

Um. Why do y'all think the "problem with mk108 penetration" is that it doesn't penetrate well enough?
The problem is that it's a low-velocity, HE shell.  So right now it penetrates TOO WELL.

That is my understanding too, Mk 108 is too good tank killer, it should be downright pathetic.

After Mk 108 has been fixed, Lufwaffe does not have anything to attack tanks with than bombs. Hopefully we can get Panzerblitz to Fw 190 someday.

Let's include the whole quote  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)


Reformulated aircraft cannon characteristics. Fixed some problems in relative 20mm values and the problem with MK 108 armor penetration.

To me this reads quite clearly that the German 20mm won't be a tank busting weapons *and* they've been taking a look at the *relative values* of all 20mm's.

For those flying Geman irons, odds are that it's for the better Lower lethality 20% for Germans, it won't make much of a difference. Do the same for Hispanos and it will  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

I could be wrong... but i thought the 30mm cannon as is currently modelled is TOO effective against tanks, and would likely be toned down...  In reality the 30 wasn't a good anti armor round i believe
