Re: Bugs in WW2 and SPMBT

Perhaps another way of putting it would be that HE represents ammo that is intented primarily for anti-personnel work: regular bullets for small arms (up to 15 mm in calibre or so), explosive rounds...

Re: Fortification and crewed guns

Back to the original topic of providing bunkers with AT capability, in the WW2 variant OOBs there readily exists a good number of bunkers armed with anti-tank guns. I haven't played SP:MBT for a...

Re: "Just Curious" about something else

Perhaps what the person meant is the lack of ability to have "no unit (at all) selected" at a given time?

The current set-up where you always have a unit selected can sometimes lead to unfortunate...

Re: close combat tactics/ideas

As regards using machine guns in close terrain like forests, the best trick might be to keep them a bit behind the main infantry advance (so that the enemy does not have LoS to them) and then in...

Re: SP gun vs. Tank

SP guns (at least AI controlled) in the game can become bit of sitting ducks if you manage to immobilise them.

If they are sitting in a static defensive on their own, overwatching some crucial...

Re: close combat tactics/ideas

I would like to second the comment about using light indirect fire, especially the smaller calibre infantry and field guns (around 75 mm) available in many armies can be handy, as these cause limited...

Re: favorite scout units

A bit late to the discussion, but a big favourite of mine at the moment are spotter planes, when available, since they can easily access pretty much any area of the battlefield. Drawback being that...

Re: Fortifications German

If I am not mistaken, the game manual states quite clearly somewhere that the German OOB stretches to the end of 1946 in order for the players to generate various "what if" scenarios/campaigns based...

Re: Regarding medium para mortars (US and Commonwealth OOBs)

Thanks for the clarification, I was not aware that it was a design decision to limit the range of these particular weapons in this case.

I noticed that they are of the para mortar unit class,...

Re: Czechoslovak OOB37 and Slovak OOB01

Considering the way the OOBs are organised, it is not that trivial to just copy and paste formations from one OOB to another. You will need to add the weapons, then you will need to add the units...

Regarding medium para mortars (US and Commonwealth OOBs)

I have noticed that there are two para mortars in the game OOBs that do not seem familiar to me. These are "Abn 81mm mortar" in the USA OOB and "3in para mortar" appearing in various British...

Re: Soviet OOB 11: miscellaneous observations

Keep in mind that the light AA-guns in the game (as well as historically) fired bursts rather than single rounds. This is represented in game with a limited ammo load and high HE kill rating.

Re: Soviet OOB 11: miscellaneous observations

At the risk of being considered as a nit-picker, I would also like to take the opportunity to add in a few comments about various units and formations:

a.) Unit 358 (T-26TU M1932) is armed with a...

Re: Czechoslovak OOB37 and Slovak OOB01

Would those infantry units organised in the British pattern differ from British infantry units in the British OOB, which can already be purchased as "captured allies" by anyone wanting to construct...

Re: Soviet OOB 11: miscellaneous observations

Regarding the ranges of the off-map artillery, it should be described in the Mobhack manual. Essentially, after 200 the range values use the reduced scale. This is probably due to the range being...

Re: Great source for Early War Soviet Scenarios

Looks like there was quite a colourful mixture of tanks involved on the Soviet side:

- 10 x T-34 tanks equipped with 76mm guns (delivered from Kharkov)
- 7 x T-34s with 76mm guns (delivered from...

Question: Spotting

Re: Spotting

My understanding is that also movement affects the chance of spotting - the faster a unit moves, the easier it is for other units to spot it (and the harder it is for that unit to spot others).

Re: Facing - Infantry

With infantry, facing affects spotting of hidden units, which is most effectively conducted in the forward arc. Thus, sometimes you may spot new units by simply rotating your observing unit on the...

Re: Rifle/SMG Effective Range

Regarding the presence (or not) of the DP LMG, historically there were two types of SMG platoons in the Red Army: those that were fully armed with SMGs, and those that also had an LMG in every squad....

Re: Rifle/SMG Effective Range

What year was this? There are SMG companies and platoons in the Soviet OOB, but they only become available around 1942 or so (you can check the exact dates from Mobhack).

Historically, the pre-war...

Re: Rifle/SMG Effective Range

Even with small arms, the chance of hitting seems to be quite significantly affected by the range. Long range rifle fire is great for suppressing and causing a casualty here and there, but if you...

Generally bolt actions were considered more...

Re: Steel Panthers-Individual Soldiers

Especially the two man anti-tank teams tend to be vulnerable, and their rate of fire is usually badly affected when they take just a single hit.

Anyway, in a WWII battlefield combatants acted in...
