The 7.2 OOBs will be released to the public soon, along with some other "goodies", but I'm not sure of the exact date.
Is there a 7.2 vers of SPWAW? I currently have 7.1.

Wild Bill and Marauder Mel did a wonderful job with the USMC, with some input by yours truly, and I think the final version should be regarded as the definitive OOB83.

They were meant as protected troop carriers for the beach landings only. I don't think it was intended for them to become amphibious APCs for inland advance. The AMTRACS aren't Bradleys---they were originally intended to be ammo and supply humpers, so don't try to project the future onto these fragile vehicles. Simply put, if you're under fire, dismount your passengers and head for safety. There WAS an experimental attempt to mount flamethrowers on some LVTA4s at Peleliu, but I don't have any info on how successful they were. In the absence of many flamethrowing tanks, this seems to have been a desperate expedient.

This was pointed out in another thread. Weapon 2 for unit 164 should be 003. <sigh> I know the newest revisions have already been submitted, so rather than hold up the release any further, further changes should be sticky posted and let the gamers make the changes using the OOB editor. Otherwise, 7.2 could be held up indefinitely. The quest for perfection does have its limits, doesn't it?
One of the main problems with the SP series is that you only have 249 slots in oobs to make units.

Will the US 57mm recoilless rifle be included? I saw a reference that the 17th Airborne used it in the jump over the Rhine?

After many many searches I arrived at the conclusions that ALL he shells must have a penetration 1/6 of own diameter !!
And when the dividing is not precise it must to be adjusted above.
For example: an 150 mm shell have an 1/6*150mm=25 mm penetration tickness. An 280 mm have 46,66 and it must be 47 not 46 !!!! Here the mortars have to be treated like in reality not like in H2H where the values were incredible low !
I second that.Penetrator wrote:Wah!?
This is a very dangerous path to go down, if you are just examining the effect on the plate hit. A large HE shell could easily demolish a tank even if a classical penetration through a particular plate was not achieved. Seams, rivets, guns, sights blasted away. If we take a T-34 and shower it with 150mm shells, I for one do NOT like to see it suffer only scratched paint and 99 suppression. A tank would be very lucky to take a direct hit like that and continue to function in any capacity.
On the theoretical level, the amount of explosive in a shell is to the power of 3 of the diameter. Furthermore, mortar shells have a far lower explosive content than regular shells.
