By the way, I'd like to bring your attention again, to some recommended changes to the ammunition of the early-war panzers:Quote:I've been trying out the early-war German tanks armed with the 50mm L/42 KwK 38 and 37mm KWK38(t)L/42. Sad to say, these guns are badly under-powered using the stock in-game settings.
Let's put it this way: you know they're underpowered when their shells persistently bounce off lightly armoured targets like the T-26, BT-5 and Panzer II
I've addressed the situation a little by making the following changes to their ammunition in the 'common_res.engcfg' file:
PZGR(t)umg_37,0x01,%SHELL_AP%,KWK38(t)L/42,750,42,0.7,0.1,0,1,1,0,0.82,0.008,0.3,8,1,1,0.1,0,1,1,1,expl_gndl*,expl_techl*,expl_buildl*,expl_water*,expl_human*,fly1,0,1500,1,txt_shell_pzgr(t)_37,ap_expl_pat,rico_pat,piece_pat,0,1,1,1,1,0xffff4040,2,1,14,SHELL_MED,SHELLC_MED;
Upped the 'armour-piercing factor' from 0.55 to 0.7, slightly less than the PZGR_37.
Gravity factor changed from 9.81 to 8, consistent with the other shells in the game.
Effective range from 800m to 1500m, same as the Soviet B240 45mm shell.
Reliability changed from 0.8 to 1.PZGR_50,0x01,%SHELL_AP%,KWK38,683,40,0.7,0.1,0,1,1,0,2.06,0.01,0.2,8,1,1,0.1,0,1,1,1,expl_gndl*,expl_techl*,expl_buildl*,expl_water*,expl_human*,fly1,0,1500,1,txt_shell_pzgr_50,ap_expl_pat,rico_pat,piece_pat,0,1,1,1,1,0xffff4040,3,1,21,SHELL_MED,SHELLC_MED;
Upped the 'armour-piercing factor' from 0.5 to 0.7, slightly less than the PZGR_37.
Effective range from 800m to 1500m, same as the Soviet B240 45mm shell.Here's one that I prepared earlier! It's based on the common_res.engcfg for 'NTA 1.4 (Eng)'. You might want to check it out:
http://www.4shared.com/file/Rn-pIb_l/Popguns.htmlI just want to emphasize that the guns
haven't been suddenly transformed into invincible tank-killers, Just more competent in dealing with lightly-armoured opposition. Not too much to expect, I hope.
If anything, I suspect they're still a tad under-powered, but it's already a substantial improvement. If anyone could fine-tune the settings I'd be grateful,
ps. I forgot to mention, this affects the Panzer IIIkz and the Panzer 38t.
UnquoteDo give it a try and let me know what you think!
