At the end, when you thought you weren't penetrating, you were actually overpenetrating. The shell entered on a side and exit the other. For that situation it is better to use APHE.

They had better tanks than the Germans did And more of them Tactics is where failure was found And politics.

[@carrott36]

@@jidk6565 I’ve heard, and I’m not sure of the reliability of the source, that the French tanks while they could outgun and outarmour the Germans, the Germans could drive around them. Surely a bit of an exaggeration, but shows that the French tanks were poor in manoeuvrability.

[@PatchBits]

A lot of these things are an oversimplification of a greater picture for the benefit of brevity. Germany wouldn't hugely outmanoeuvre tanks on a small scale, but on an operational level, it would be a single char versus 25 panzers, where on a grand scale it's 25 v 25, it doesn't help that one tank when all 25 concentrate on a tank at a time. It's the same principle of Napoleonic defeat in detail. This is also my personal understanding, which may be incorrect in itself!

I'd love for Sprocket to have a multiplayer, especially a Co-op mode. How amazing would it be if at the start when the tank flipped, you got to hear your friend say 'I'm stuck'?

@@bl4cksp1d3r Just tried it again, even when facing King Tigers I find they just auto-lock onto my tracks and smallest weakspots.

My mantlet as well I can get shots through when I pit me vs me, but it doesn't show any dents there. Scudding AI aimbot.

[@71tofu]

This reminds me of when I replicated the M22 Locust. But it was the M23 Super Locust and had obscene frontal armor, with additional riveted frontal armor plates, and a 50mm gun instead of a 37. I took that little meme through the entire game. One I fine tuned the engine and transmission, I was hitting a max of 120km/h over the really open maps.

[@guppiapfeljustleopardthing8756]

OK here is a lore idea for the tanks French German design... 1941 and the Germans need every tank they can get their hands on to go fight against the red army. Confident in the capabilities of the formerly French tank factory "Hotchkiss" "samour" and "Lorraine" the German WPA sends out a contract to all 3 to design a tank capable of fitting a 37mm gun and possibly being able to upgrade said gun to the 5cm kwk. As the lv tz 38 already proved its worth in the French campaign, H*tler ordered that parts of the pz38t shall be interchangeable with this project. Things like running wheels and suspension, vision slits and drive train shall be used with the tracks and overall hull design still resembling a 38t, tho retaining a French design element. As the French Ave little experience in welding tanks and casting hulls like before was too time constraining, a bolted and riveted hull design was chosen. As by sebtember of 1941 only the hulls were finished, each of the 3 prototypes received a turret of Germanys own welded 38t version. The French being French however still modified sertain parts of the turret and adding revolving periscope to the rear of the turret roof to aid the commander in seeing what's behind him. After the trials were finished the WPA ordered 10 tanks from each factory to Form a new combat group known as "Leichte Panzerabteilung 138 F" of wich the remains whould be later, in April of 1944, integrated into the Panzerlehrdivision, once more modifications had been made to the remaining 5 tanks by the lorrain tank factory. One of these modifications was to fit it with a experimental copy of the Russian 57mm zis2 gun. However in January of 1945 the old 50mm whould be placed back into it as a shortage of 57mm ammo came apparent A single tank whould survive untill the encirclement in the Ruhr Valley in 1945 and ultimately be destroyed by a highly modified American t26e1 heavy tank. In its last 3 weeks it helped to Form the spearhead that was supposed to break the remaining German forces out of the Ruhr encirclement.

Is it just me or does the final turret with the long gun look similar to the Super Pershing? It may just be the front of it though. But this whole design was just so amusing to see, shame you couldn't get it all the way through without major upgrades to the gun, twice.

[@RedVRCC]

Man that's impressive tbh. Meanwhile I'm here editing the living hell out of my blueprint files to create ultra busted modern MBTs and casually just enable the time period override cheat to use them in even the ww1 scenario. _Even better with the new geometric internals update, I can make composite armor bricks out of the new structure parts._
