.45 ACP & 9mm FMJ

Subject: .45 ACP & 9mm FMJ
Link on message: #8325016

The_Chieftain: I think this argument is missing, for a military-themed forum, the most important question. "What effect are you trying to have with your pistol?"   You've been all rabbiting on about terminal ballistics and incapacitation and whatnot. I submit that for the typical grunt, this is irrelevant. The average Joe (not MARSOC elite or whatever) using his sidearm isn't trying to kill or incapacitate anyone. The chances are that the reason that someone like me is using my sidearm is because something has gone seriously wrong, and I'm just trying to make my way back to my tank/get the hell away from wherever I am/get to a bigger gun. I'm shooting for suppressive/psychological effect. Round A may be less effective than round B, but does that really matter to the guy on the receiving end? He hears lots of bangs, and impacts near him, is he going to think to himself "Ah, it's just a 9mm, not a .45, I'll stick my head out, it won't hurt as much if it hits me"? I doubt it. And, put simply, one gets more bangs from a 9mm than from a .45.   So as my sidearms in the military context, I'll take the 9mm over the .45 please.

The_Chieftain: We do our damndest to get to things within 24 hours, more often than not we beat that. (The average is actually substantially lower). However, it's not unheard of for us to take over a day, depending on ticket loads and staffing levels. With lots more people taking time off work and time off holidays (and thus playing more games), even though we don't let too many people take their christmas holidays at the same time, this doesn't surprise me. PM me your ticket number, I'll make sure it's actually in the queue. If it is, the lads will get to it when they get to it.

The_Chieftain: I might point out that in the game we are a little flexible with the whole autoloader thing.... T57 for example should have an 8 round drum, AMX-13 12, T54E1 about 10...   By those standards, IS-7 would have about three rounds, then a long reload. Think AMX Foch 155.

They seem to be deliberately placed at specific points that would make it very difficult to get onto the tank or to hose down the back if they got there.

The_Chieftain:   No, they'd be too easy to avoid. And besides, if troops are that close, you probably don't know they're there. Better to have your back scratched by a colleague.

I assume their restoration is not a priority, but even preservation seems to have been largely neglected.   Also, what's that square thing over/just behind your head in the driver's position?

The_Chieftain:   No, it hasn't been a particular priority. Some of the sights etc have been coated with grease, and I wouldn't be surprised to discover that the vehicles don't actually need a hell of a lot of work (by restoration standards) to get back into running (as opposed to combat) order. I honestly can't remember what the square thing was.

The_Chieftain:   Heh. You don't think we've trawled through those resumes before to see what of interest may be out there? :P We found the first two, or at least, what's left of them that we could find in the Archives. The M6A2E1 file has fidelity thicknesses (You know, those squares that the US paints on its turrets for measuring) for some reason for only the turret sides and rear, nothing for the front. The 8" T28 ballistic report is quite literally a firing report, and it has some written specifications as to thicknesses at points of impact, but no drawings or photographs, so we're sort of guessing. I think it's enough for implementation, however. I don't recall the third one.  

View Postshapeshifter, on Dec 25 2014 - 09:02, said: You talked about them testing M26 suspension for the T29 before chief on dtic, was it this report?  

The_Chieftain:   Yes, I made reference to this test in the Sturer Emil video. I did run across the actual test report, didn't have time to copy it.  

View Postcollimatrix, on Dec 25 2014 - 15:48, said:   The_Chieftain mentions in voiceover that there is reference to a rammer, it was either removed or never installed on that particular IS-7.   Ensignexpendable translated the instruction placard for the loader thingie in IS-7, and it clearly references turning the device on and there being a rammer.  It probably has a manual backup mode (T-72's autoloader does too), and I suspect that The_Chieftain was using that when he rotated it over.   The_Warhawk mentioned that people have stolen bits out of IS-7 while it's sat there all these years.  Factory drawings clearly show a roof-mounted sight for the gunner (The_Chieftain correctly identifies where it used to live in the video), the commander's optics are missing, and the miscellaneous electrical bits and bobs near the gunner are most likely the remnants of stabilization gear.

The_Chieftain:   No, the projectiles and charges are definitely cranked into place onto the conveyor. I didn't see any indication of a motor, or a place for a motor to have gone. Bojan agrees that the electonic boxes are stabilisation gear.

The_Chieftain:   Heh. http://worldoftanks....ional-archives/  

Quote Let’s say someone has a Great Idea™ that they want to fit an autoloader into the T30 Heavy Tank. They kick it up the chain, and the project gets approved. The end goal’s nomenclature is “Tank, Heavy T30E1”, but the Army doesn’t work that way. The Dept of the Army assigned it the project number 545-07-005, probably to track the funds. Somewhere along the line, as a new tank model, it got assigned to the Ordnance Branch. The Ordnance Branch gave it the internal project number TT2-479C.  Why TT2-479C? Because it came after TT2-479B of course! So even after you find the document stating that TT2-479C is the T30E1, you have to find the document cross-linking with the Dept of the Army project number. Got a box ID for that? No? Hmm…

The_Chieftain: Such a document may exist, but I haven't come across it yet. That said, have you seen the Aberdeen test resumes? Some good info on these, at least it lists pretty much every test Aberdeen conducted with a two-line summary of the result. We've found it very useful in discovering if a test was even done. Unfortunately, just because a test is listed, doesn't mean the report still exists or is easy to find. Unfortunately, I've only been able to track down these three volumes. 1, 6, 11. (Click the numbers)

The_Chieftain: The tank has a 51% win rate, or something of that nature, on the server. I ended up finishing the tank with 46%, so obviously it didn't really mesh with my playstyle, but I'm not going to go about calling it a bad tank because I personally do poorly on it.

Lert: More or less. By the time the guy with the highest ping finally gets updated, the guy with the lowest ping has gotten two or three new updates. Then there's the discrepancy between what's shown on the screen and what the server 'sees', and since it's the server that decides all the important stuff, sometimes things come across broken. Try server reticle for an example, so you can see the difference of where your gun is aiming and where the server thinks it's aiming.

Yeah maybe with a dead commander and several bushes, but not 'in the open' and with a live commander.   Now, I fully understand that things like lag and packetloss might interfere, and that in-game ranges are often thought to be way shorter than they actually are. I also can clearly see that you're a better player than I am, so I am honestly curious as to what is happening to make you make the claims that you make.   Now, care to explain why you're so opposed to posting a replay of it actually happening?
