RickI -> Semovente da 75/18 and AP rounds (5/6/2002 5:33:54 PM)
|
Hi everybody,
yesterday I was trying to make a scenario utilizing some Italian armor, M14/41 and Semoventi basically, plus Bersaglieri support.
Against my troops were hordes of British Valentines and Matildas and some Grants, and I was shocked looking how my Semoventi were unable to make almost anything to neither of these tanks.
Then I saw the stat of the 75/18 gun and saw that Max penetration was only 56mm at close range and that the Semovente uses only few rounds of AP or HEAT rounds.
Now, I've read somewhere that the 75/18 in our Army utilized the special "Effetto Pronto" (E.P.) round and that it could penetrate around 70mm of armor and that it was very effective in North Africa, much more than the 47/32 we used as an anti-tank gun.
It was a Hollow shot, so it should be a Heat round, but they carried more rounds and it perforated more armor.
Ah... another thing:
I noticed that there are actually 2 47/32 M.35 guns in the Inventory.
The "47mm L32 Breda" and the "47L32 m35 Gun" and they have different stats and the latter has even stats for APCR rounds.
Strange enough the M13/40 uses the "47L32 m35 Gun"
while the M14/41 uses the "47mm L32 Breda".
In reality there were only minimal difference between the tanks, the engine was slightly more powerful etc.
Anyone?
