Status: offline 		hello. just noticed that the 2 punder qhf (or so..) IX gun has different penetrating rating. is there a newer gun with exact the same name ?? see cruiser,mathila,crusader I tanks,and compare their 2 punder gun with them on the newer crusader´s !!! why haven´t the better gun another name or number??? btw: british equipment looks very good at june 1941 but seems to be quite useless in battle (cruiser tanks for example,they are not as good as Pz. III g or higher..). what weapons do you like in desert from the british (except mathilda) thanx

40mm bofors AA gun, ever since I played AH's Tobruk where it had that awesome aquired fire rate. 6pdr AT gun, I actually put together a battery of these in 1/72 scale when I thought I might change from 1/285 to 1/72 scale micro armor. Enfield rifle, the best bolt action military rifle, I liked it so much I bought one.
thanks, John.

very good infantry support vehicles. 25 Lbdr, A great gun, can be used as a Infantry gun, an ATG, or as artillery!

in my testing game i noticed that crusader and cruiser tanks are almost useless against pz. III types....if they have 2:1 or more number they got a chance i think. HEY FOLKS:i wanted your fave weapons only from 1940 to June 1941!!! any idea why the 2pounder gun has ecxact the same name,although the 2nd version is much more powerful????? now starting my e-mail game as britain in 1941. wish me luck. i will need it....

Better ammo better penetration. The British change how they build the 2lb warhead giving it better penetration.

There are similarly several version of the 6lber gun and the M3 75mm in the new OOBs. ITs a bit of a kludge, but eh best that can be done until the various round types are specified in CL.
