I have noticed a distinct difference between regular flak and flakiver in the German OOB. What is Flakiver? Is it a different type of ammo or explosive? Why is it so much more effective than regular flak?

I believe the only difference is the Flakv is a quad gun. I am not 100% certain that it is the only difference. Goblin

My spelling may not be perfect, but... 1... 2... 3... 4... Ein... Zvei... Trei... (flak)VIER(ling). Flakvierling is the dreaded Virbelvind, with 4 20mm cannon dealing out death (despite some odd game mechanics ;)).

...aaand since initial 'v' in German is pronounced like 'f', you get "flakfierling" ---> fierling = fourling .. :p It's "Drei" = 3 In the same way - Drilling = triplet (for some AAA variants)

There's not much difference, they are the same 20mm cannon as in the 20mm flak guns but only there are 4 of them stacked together in a Flakvierling blasting at pretty much the same time which means a greater rate of fire than a single 20mm gun.

I've just watched my op fire take out 3, then 4, then 3 of Jim1954's Russian infantry as the 3 squads advanced through a line of smoke. That was nice to see.:cool: Don't tell Jim, but the ammo loadout is rather miniscule however.:(

Gary Tatro -> Thanks guys (5/23/2003 7:34:06 PM)
Did not think it was that simple.

Gee Bob, there's a ray of sunshine if ever there was one. :rolleyes:

Jim, you weren't supposed to see that!

Jim1954 -> (5/24/2003 12:19:31 AM)
Christ almighty, it seems like the the only place I can see anything of yours is here on the forum. I need smoke penetrating goggles for my troops on the map!!!!!!! :D

Sorry buddy, the Uhus are in my OOBs. ;) No, I wouldn't do that to you. Uhus are terror weapons that no sporting PBEMer would use on another player. Did you decorate those 2 T-34 drivers of yours that I mentioned? Lucky bast@rds!!:mad:

It'll be somewhat like this: Eins <-- s Zwei <-- w Drei <-- D Vier <-- yay! Fünf Sechs Sieben Acht Neun Zehn :) Come on, repeat after me...

Diomedes -> (5/25/2003 7:22:04 AM)
LOL! Good show, Svennemir. :)

While we are discussing the autocannons here, i have a question - is there any formula to count the HE kill of the automatic weapons (both ACs and small arms)?
