    Beta Map AHzVehicles_TWO_Beta1: ALLIES

    As far as IRL goes, the main reason of having a different range scale for AP (PzGr) and HE (SprGr) is the difference in muzzle velocity. SprGr were fired with a lower muzzle velocity than PzGr. Basically, the AP is virtual solid, with a bursting charge of only 70g, so it can withstand higher...

    Beta Map AHzVehicles_Two_Beta1: AXIS

    The map was Brenzina, and I was resuppling at the Village CP. Just tried it using a "listen server", with both the original and the "1941" versions, and there is no resupply at all. I guess I must have imagined the resupply of HE. I thought I'd gone to the full load of 60, but I probably only...

    Beta Map AHzVehicles_Two_Beta1: AXIS

    I don't seem able to get a resupply of smoke shells for the PzIV. I think I got a full load of HE shells, but no more smoke. It happened when I I'd fired all the smoke shells. Didn't try the resupply with 1 left.

    SERVER RELEASE > MEATGRINDER: NEW MinionWorkz Pack!!

    Liking the smoke shells on the PzIV. Covers the target area a treat. Also used it to survive a couple of encounters with the KV-2.

    SERVER RELEASE > MEATGRINDER: NEW MinionWorkz Pack!!

    Finally got to play one of the new maps. I can see the effort that went into creating the KV-2. Would TWB consider doing "Minion Workz Pack evening", to try and kick start the take-up of the new maps?

    Determing range?

    Get hold of Mormegil's tank range, and run it as a "Listen Server". Then get used to how tanks looks at known ranges. Unless you are firing "short" PzIV or JS-2, most guns have a flat enough trajectory that it's pretty easy once you get the 250m, 500m and 750m ranges straight. I use the...

    New GFX Card

    I'd say the 2 cards to think about are the 8800 GTS 768Mb and the 8800 GT 512Mb. From what I've read, I'd say that the GT outperforms the GTS, until you start turning up the anti-aliasing, at which point the great amount of RAM, the speed at which it can access shows through. Don't bother...

    [VIDEO] MinionWorkz Vehicle & Map Pack

    OOoooooo. Really, really, looking forwards to this. The only problem is I'm in S'pore and will be flying back to the UK on the 25th, and "wheels down" on the 26th. What server's are going to be running the new maps???? Going to get this loaded onto my old PC because I can't want. Then pick up my...

    Russian lend and lease numbers

    Russia built about 90 locomotives during WWII, while close to 2,000 were sent as part of the lend lease program. That's going to translate to a fair few tanks.

    Mp 40 sights

    The MP40 was know as the "schmeisser" by both the US and UK armies. I believe it was a hold over the WWI, when the MP-18 was also refered to as the "Schmeisser". I do know that one of the requirments for the Sterling SMG was to put 5 rounds (single shot) into a 1 foot square target at 100m. Not...

    Release ArmoredBeasts 2.06 beta (update)

    It was common to task captured T-34 to infantry support operations, rather than the main armoured thrust. This was to minimise the chance of a blue-on-blue engagement.

    Release ArmoredBeasts 2.06 beta (update)

    You have to watch out for angles being quoted as either off the vertical or horizontal. Regarding the side armour of the Panther F and G. It's combo of 40mm vertical plates and 50mm plates 30deg off the vertical. Now, the straight line thickness (which I know is a simplification of matters)...

    Game Modeling of Armor Penetration?

    Depending on the range and the lag / ping, the game engine can detect a hit against the "far" surface, rather than the "near" surface. So a shot to the front can be detected against, and calculated for, the rear armour. But I've never heard of or seen a Tger being damaged by a PTRD. The...
