They actually did pretty well at the operational level in '73, at least initially. Edit: losses on both sides were something like 600 aircraft and 3500 tanks in nineteen days. Imagine what the figures would have been like if the world had gone full Clancy in the Fulda Gap. Smiling Jack fucked around with this message at 15:10 on Feb 28, 2017 |

There's a definite trend towards high speed operator worship and knowledge. Decades ago poo poo like the Army of Northern Virgina and whatnot were half rumored fever dreams, now things like The Activity and what not show up in video games. gently caress, ISR has a goddamn wiki entry

Read up on the Miami Showband Massacre, it's a great little example of how hosed the Troubles were. Also the movie '71 is good and people should watch it.

Lower velocity and a higher angle, generally but now always fin stabilized.

mlmp08 posted:I could be wrong, but also my understanding is also that due to the lower velocity/ranges of mortars vs howitzers, you can pack more HE in a similarly sized mortar shell without risking integrity of the round. I recall hearing that as well, but only for fin stabilized rounds. I never hear it from a reputable source though. wikipedia posted:

Phanatic posted:Why the overcompensation? If the first round is 100m to the left why doesn't the observer just compensate and adjust 100m to the right? Gives you two known points bracketing the target (initial round, and second round) which allows for more precise correction as opposed to walking rounds on to the target. If you're in a hurry, the method you suggest can work, depending on the skill of the forward observer. Smiling Jack fucked around with this message at 19:50 on Nov 27, 2017 |

Anecdotal, but I've remember reading a few history WW2 books where tankers hated being in tanks so much they volunteered for poo poo like the SAS or airborne units or whatever just to get away from the things. Then again if you expected me to go up against a German 88 in a m3 grant or whatever I'd probably volunteer to get away from them also

When you say Sherman do you mean a plain 75mm armed Sherman , a 76mm Sherman Jumbo HVSS or a Sherman Firefly? Similarly the early T-34 kinda sucked with the 2 man turret but the T-34-85 was a huge improvement. Smiling Jack fucked around with this message at 05:23 on Jul 2, 2019 |

Yeah, a lot of the German tanks sucked for various reasons, but if you actually ran into a Panther or Tiger II on the battlefield and all you had was a 75mm Sherman things were gonna suck for you. However, PBEM games of Combat Mission were always great when you wrecked some guys Tiger I with a frontal hit with a Sherman and you got an angry email about how that wasn't possible. Edit: 76mm Sherman, of course Smiling Jack fucked around with this message at 16:57 on Jul 2, 2019 |
