Cardinal Fang -> Sturmtigers and Smoke (9/22/2000 9:12:00 PM)
|
Howdy folks!
I have a couple of questions.
The first in with regard to Sturmtigers. I was pleased to see that they were in SPW@W. Even though I rarely play the Germans it's nice to see some of the more uncommon (and, lets face it, neat) vehicles included. My question is about its rate of fire. I don't know much about the Sturmtiger but I did find an informative site about it. The web site is http://members.aol.com/sturmpnzr/sturmi.html
At this web site it says that even with a trained and skilled crew it could take ten minutes to reload. I notice that in SPW@W the Sturmtiger has a rate of fire of two. Shouldn't this be lower?
The other question is in reference to smoke. Specifically smoke grenades carried by infantry. Again I don't know much about the topic (which is why I'm asking the question :-) ) but it seems that smoke grenades are to prevelant. It seems like every single unit has them. Including the one lucky survivor of a a brewed up tank. Did he really pause n his way out of the tank to take a few smoke grenades with him? My only, well I hesitate to call it knowledge, ummm information (that's better) I have is from the Combat mission forum when they were asked if infantry smoke would be included. The result there was that hard info regarding the use of smoke was difficult to come by and therefor they would not be modeled. It seems that there was more evidence that they were used for marking than for masking movement. Of course that is third ( or would it be fourth?) hand information so I was curious why the decision was made to make smoke grenades so ubiquitous.
Any pointers to more information about these subjects (preferably web sites, I tend to be lazy) would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Cardinal Fang
