It’s Next level Over Kill, I know the Dev’s don’t really do, Realistic, but aside from the HESCO barriers on all the Map’s this is, so far, the most ridiculous thing I have seen in the pacific.
The US Basically just stuck with the 37 mm gun M3 in the Pacific, Because it was far easier to move around in the Jungles, and it was perfectly adequate for dealing with the Japanese Tanks.
it might seem overkill for the moment.
but in a few updates those will come handlier.
especially when USA forces will have to face:
( even though they get normal shermans ( tunisian one ) along side 105s )
Premium tank
the only premiums named in the editor are:
chi-Ha:
and
chi-he
( although, couple of mores will be premium probably. )
still, one of the one above ( or more ) will be in tech trees. so, a bit of firepower never hurts )
Wrong picture, this is chi he.
I think the addition of 6pdr is more for Japanese, since they have to deal with tank such as sherman. While US 37mm can pen all Japanese tank since best Japanese tank like chi nu still only have 50mm of armor.
Ya, there is no need for a 6 pounder it’s just total over kill, I get they might not want to devote to time modeling the 37 mm or the Japanese 47 mm AT guns though.
I had really hoped they were not going to Mash up 41-45 in one campaign, looks like that’s not the case though, not with the tanks they have.
What Planes are in the editor, that might be more reveling.
Although, I suppose just because there in the editor doesn’t mean they’re going to be in the same campaign???
The Type 1 47 mm AT gun was introduced to combat service in 1941, with the intent of it replacing the Type 94 37 mm (1.5 in) anti-tank gun. It was very effective for its role, with American personnel calling it "an excellent weapon
47mm gun can’t effectively pen sherman, I think this is the reason of using 6 pdr instead of it.
Their name in editor have pacific, so it will be in same campaign.
It had a high rate of fire and with AP shells was capable of perforating the front armor of the M4A6 (a slightly more heavily armored variant of the M4 medium tank[citation needed]) at 800 yards (730 m), though standard doctrine was to wait until tanks got closer if possible to ensure good shot placement.[7][8] The weaker APHE shell, while incapable of penetrating the M4 Medium’s 93 mm (3.7 in) of effective front armor, could still penetrate the tank’s side (38–45 mm (1.5–1.8 in))[9] of vertical armor),
They mess around with the values of the weapons all the time so I can’t possibly imagine that that would be if I was stopping them, my assumption is it’s much like the AA gun they’ve abstracted it by making the same gun available to everybody
You use Wikipedia as your source, but the problem is at its ammunition section, it said: Two types of shells were known to have been used with this ammunition, as follows: Type 1 APHE shell, Type 1 HE shell. So what is the AP you are talking about? Since your word have AP shell and APHE shell.
I normally don’t use it as a source, but simply for the sake of expediency I did, and many of the late war Island campaigns like Okinawa and Iwo Jima, United States armored units suffered over 100% casualties to their tanks, the reason they were able to do that was because they carried spares with them on the ships during landing operations, a significant portion of these losses where do you to antitank guns, the reason for this was largely because the Japanese would wait and fire appointment range, so their penetration values for ranges from basically 0 to 100 m would be greater than those listed in the references that are available immediately online, engagement ranges in game being as short as they typically are would fall into almost certainly less than 200 m on an average, in the morning when I have more time I can dig out some better references, but just going on memory and the information that I can dig up easily online would suggest to me that there’s no reason they cannot go with actual Japanese equipment, while generally maligned Japanese equipment was quite effective for the most part depending on what particular weapon system you’re looking at, even exceptional.
American 37-mm AT gun (idk model number) vs Japanese Mobile Type 1 47-mm gun would be great for Pacific engineers’ AT gun.
