In the reality, could the Grant fire his 75mm when hulldown? I think this give him a to big advantage over german, specially in the desert. Reactions ? ------------------ xaal

I will check, but think this is fixed in Version 4.

If the Grant is going to be prevented from firing its 75mm hull down Paul then this should probably also include the Char b and an Italian tank of the M13 variety. They also have thier main gun in the hull. ------------------ McGib Ready Aye Ready

There is a general problem with tanks that have an "SPgun-like" gun and a turret mounted gun. Looking at it again I don't think there is a fix right now.

Good point. One of the complaints from the Brits about the Grant was the inability to assume a hull-down posture. The best they could do was a "lower hull-down". Yes, the other vehicles mentioned should have the same penalty, but I believe you refer to the M11/39 which had a 37mm gun in a hull sponson. Maybe simulate this by reducing the hull-down benefits for vehicles like these?

This seems to be a problem with some non-standard design tanks not fitting in with the standard fire routines. Since there aren't all that many vehicles that deviate from the standard, perhaps a look-up table or case can be added to modify their results. ------------------ An old soldier but not yet a faded one. OK, maybe just a bit faded.
