Subject: CC #39 - Guias Visuais - Tanques Pesados
Link on message: #8070969

Capitao_Desastre_: Comandantes!   Criar guias é uma arte. Juntar informação útil e a transformar num texto educativo é das atividades mais importantes que um membro da comunidade pode fazer, quer seja para apoiar um principiante ou ajudar um veterano a melhorar o seu jogo.

No entanto, nem sempre os jogadores têm paciência para ler. Se apresentássemos a informação para os jogadores de uma forma mais visual talvez fosse mais fácil.   Para este concurso, o foco dos guias é sobre os tanques pesados. Apresentem a mesma situação de dois pontos de vista, um deles o certo e outro o errado, ilustrando-as com capturas de tela e um texto curto e direto. Um exemplo seria mostrar como fazer sidescraping, com uma imagem mostrando como o fazer bem e outra imagem mostrando como não o fazer, cada uma das imagens incluindo um texto curto comentando a situação.

Regras :   O objetivo deste concurso é criar um guia com imagens, uma indicando a ação certa a fazer em batalha e outro apresentando a errada, acompanhadas com um pequeno texto explicativo. As entradas deverão ser feitas como respostas neste tópico. Uma entrada por participante. Se o participante apresentar mais que uma entrada, apenas a primeira será considerada. As entradas serão aceitas até às 23 e 59 (hora de Brasília) do dia 17 de Novembro. Entradas que tenham sido editadas após o término do prazo não serão consideradas. Cada entrada deve ser composta por duas imagens acompanhadas com texto. O texto deve sempre que possível usar linguagem correta. Entradas com texto usando linguagem grosseira sem um contexto claro não serão consideradas. As entradas serão julgadas pela equipe comunitária. Dúvidas e questões relacionadas com o concurso serão respondidas neste mesmo tópico.

  Os prêmios serão os seguintes: 1500 gold para as duas melhores entradas e 400 gold para 5 entradas escolhidas aleatoriamente.

The_Chieftain:   The TC's override, if fitted, looked like one of those old-fashioned electrical switch handle from a Frankenstein movie. People getting into a Sherman keep going for the TC's pistol grip thinking it's the override, in fact that's just the handle for the spotlight :P

Capitao_Desastre_:   Punições não sei, mas se está tendo quedas constantes causadas pelo ping alto talvez seja melhor verificar o estado de sua conexão para poder melhor diagnosticar onde está o problema.

90mm Gun Motor Carriage M18

Subject: 90mm Gun Motor Carriage M18
Link on message: #8066787

The_Chieftain: There is a somewhat tantalizing amount of information on the conversion of an M18 Gun Motor Carriage in mid-1945 to mate with the turret of the 90mm Gun Motor Carriage M36 in Hunnicutt’s Stuart, but it doesn’t really go very much into the background. I’m going to fill in a few gaps. The Tank Destroyer Board gave the matter some fairly serious consideration at the beginning of the year. Army Ground Forces had asked Tank Destroyer Branch to look into the effects of having TDs with bigger guns and heavier armor. The response was dated 18th January 45. Although the study actually looked into more depth in general configuration (Responding that if a TD was created to 12th Army’s requirements of guns, machineguns, armor, you’d effectively have a tank), the following was pertinent to the upgunning proposal.  To convert the present considerable stock of unassigned M18s to 90mm vehicles would require, after development, experiment and test has been completed, an unpredictable number of months. This would tie up this stock of an admittedly efficient weapon. The weapon resulting from the change would have, with present ammunition, about 1” greater armor penetration in the zone at which dependable sighting against tank targets is possible – out to about 3,400 yards. This additional penetration will not include the front plate of enemy heavy tanks. These front plates, now penetrable by the 76mm gun Hi-Velocity, T4 round out to 1,200 yards, would be penetrable by the 90mm with the same type round at ranges above 2,000 yards, possibly to the limit of the hitting ranges mentioned. No change in the M18 is necessary to make it destructive to the enemy’s heavy tanks through hits on any part other than the front plate – Combat reports indicate its full capabilities in this respect demonstrated by actual combat. The advisability of tying up completed, capable vehicles actually ready for combat assignment appears questionable. Further increase in the enemy’s frontal armor in new models might readily defeat the 90mm gun. New construction to effect a caliber increase should be carefully considered before a change is decided upon; also, the full possibilities of penetration of the frontal armor of the Panther and Tiger by the 76mm gun using still higher velocity projectiles, either half-weight or sabot, should be exhausted before the present M18 is radically modified. However, in anticipation of exigencies as the war continues and of possible resumption of manufacture of the M18, which is a proven vehicle with no counterpart as a combination of fire-power and mobility, it is believed advisable that steps be taken now to explore from the design viewpoint the possibilities of replacing the 76mm gun on the M18 with the 90mm caliber, especially any improved versions of that caliber. So, in other words, TD Branch didn’t think converting the M18s was a good idea at the time, unless the Germans came out with new vehicles they hadn’t encountered yet. As a result of this submission, by the end of February 1945, Army Ground Forces sent a request to Army Service Forces a study to mount a 90mm gun onto M18. (Interestingly, with a coaxial. .50 MG machinegun) By June 1945, the lads at Aberdeen had, for the sake of the experiment, managed to put the M36 turret onto the M18’s hull. The turret floor had to be lifted 2” by cutting and shortening the supports, the slip ring had to suffer a similar modification. The raising of the hull floor seems to have affected the range of elevation, as the mounting allowed only 17 degrees as opposed to the 20 as we believe would be found on an M36. In order to get any of the driver’s hatches to open or close at all in all conditions, a couple of inches needed to be shaved off the small doors, the larger doors remained unable to be opened if the turret happened to be in certain positions. The converter cooler blower’s discharge air vent needed to be cut back a bit to prevent interference. The vehicle weighed 43,075lbs without stowage, about 3,000lbs more than a standard M18. The first thing they did, after the obligatory photographs and measuring, was to drive the vehicle around for a bit. Aberdeen reported “[T]he performance of the vehicle was not noticeably affected by this small increase in weight; however, due to the shift in the center of gravity, the rear of the vehicle rode lower than the front.” Then it came time for live fire. This firing indicated very definitely that the muzzle brake should be used. Two shot groups consisting of five shots each at 1,000 yards range were fired with the muzzle brake installed. One group fired to the front of the vehicle was 12” x 7”, the other, fired sideways, was 10” x 10” [Chieftain’s note: M36 GMC would expect about half that at that range]. In firing to the front with the brakes off, it was noted that the vehicle only moved backward ¾” or less. In firing without the muzzle brake the vehicle rolled backwards 22” when fired to the front, and rocked excessively when fired to the side. The testing was not over yet, however, it was time for the endurance tests. They scraped up a travel lock from an M26 to hold the gun in place and put it onto the rear of the vehicle, and given the “considerable” increase in ground pressure caused by the heavier turret, they decided to put on the 21” wide T82 tracks which had been, unfortunately, rather well used in earlier tests. This required new sprockets and idlers be mounted. They got about 25 miles into the 1,000 mile test before the track fell apart. They reinstalled the original running gear, and continued on. Incidentally, in a later attempt to create a more reliable 21” track than T82, they developed the T86 and tested that on an M18 as well, see image below. That test, undertaken in early 1947, indicated that the wider tracks showed more rolling resistance and less hill-climbing ability than the standard T69 track, but the whole project was cancelled by Army Ground Forces in April 1947 before full testing was completed as there didn’t seem to be any point in expending the effort. The vehicle passed the endurance test fairly handily, the only significant problems being that the volute springs kept being knocked off or damaged, presumably the heavier weight of the vehicle causing more significant impacts resulting from higher motion of the roadwheel arms. Final damage tally in 1,000 miles was three springs, one thrown track, and one link somehow bent 90 degrees about 3" in from the end. Once the vehicle was considered generally mechanically capable, it was to be sent off to Armored Board (Not TD Board, curiously) for further tests. If it ever made it that far, I have not yet encountered the records. It was considered that in the event that the modified vehicle ever made it into production, or more likely, conversion in the field, the ammunition stowage would be provided for some 50 rounds. This would have involved the removal of the assistant driver and installation of ammunition racks. Overall, it was concluded that the conversion could be done in the field if required. Of course, in the final analysis, none of this ever happened. Track me down on Facebook and sometimes I even stream on Twitch.

pizzastorm:  You wake up on a hard, cold floor. Brushing the dust and cobwebs from your clothes, your eyes slowly adjust to the darkness, revealing a dingy unfurnished room. Surveying the ancient, torn wallpaper, the lack of windows, stacks of partially collapsed boxes, and foul, musty odor, you determine you are somewhere in the midst of old house; perhaps the attic.
 
You shuffle forward, delicately making your way through the darkness towards the door. Grasping the door, you quietly turn the knob only to hear the click of a stuck lock. Behind you something growls deeply.
 
Heart beating heavily, you run out and slam the door shut behind you. Once you catch your breath, you realize you’re not alone in the hallway. Several pairs of eyes stare at you, but at least these are human. Suddenly a loud crashing comes from the end of the hallway. The other people jump into defensive positions and prepare to fight. It’s going to take all of you to overtake this monster.
 
The group defeats the monster and cautiously makes their way into the next room. You peer around the corner and down a long staircase. Sliding your way to the stairs, you’re thankful the dust muffles your footsteps. That is until you kick a small, hard object and it tumbles its way down the stairs. Thud. Thud. Thud. Surprisingly, the noise stops on something soft. Relieved, you let out a deep breath a little too loudly. Suddenly dozens of eyes stare up at you and a chittering screech fills your ears.
 
Your group succeeded in defeating the mob of monsters, but their combined weight piled onto the stairway collapsed it. That path closed off, you headed further down the darkened upper hallway, searching for another way out. A soft light spills across the floor around the corner, beckoning you into an empty concrete room with a door set into the far side. As you enter, the door behind you slams shut, and the walls begin to close in! Churning symbols you cannot understand burn like heatless fire above the door at the other end; in some strange corner of your mind you realize that there are gaps in this ethereal script. Something calls to you to fill them in, to stop the walls…
 
"A giant spider lurks in the deep recesses of the library, facing true north. It looses a sob of madness as it's all too human eyes search the shadows.  The willow wilts, it's gnarled roots grip the grey portcullis and turn to dust. At the stroke of 3 am, the commander descends."
 
The words framing your answers become clear, but to your rational mind they make no sense. And yet, whatever madness touched the person who penned this paragraph must also have gripped you, for in some alien way your words fit. The walls stop, and the door on the other side of the room opens…
 
The walls have stopped moving and you’re able to catch your breath. Glancing around, you’re not sure which way to go. A promising beam of light emanates from the door on your left. Slowly, you creep your way over and open the door, dreading that inevitable creaking hinge. Beyond you the room is full of sleeping monsters; low snores and rotten breath fill the air. However, you’re confident you can find a way to blend-in and go unnoticed.   The monsters didn't buy your disguise and now they’re angry you woke them up. Very angry. Unfortunately you left your weapons behind in hopes you could speed up the pace. Desperately looking around the room, you grab the nearest object and prepare to defend yourself.   Wiping the sweat from your eyes, you exit the room and come upon the main entry way. The grand double doors, covered in cobwebs with sunlight gleaming through the stained glass, means victory is close. But not close enough. Something stands between you and the front door and you can’t tell what it is. You won’t let anything stand in your way.    You blink and the creature blocking your path is gone. With silent steps, you creep forward towards the door, drawn to the light.  When you pass a darkened doorway,  you feel like if you turn fast enough, you will catch something there, staring back. Working up the courage, you look... and see nothing.  The door is only steps away when you feel it approaching behind you. There is no time to defend yourself so you scramble for the exit. It swings open easily and you are bathed in bright sunlight. You hear a scream as the thing behind you is hit by the light, dissolving into smoke and nothing.
Disoriented by the brightness, you shut your eyes for a brief moment. When you open them, you are back in your room. Sunlight streams through your windows and you feel unbearably tired. Something is wrong but you can't put a finger on it. What were you just doing? Something exciting and impossible that you quite can't remember, the memory already fading from your mind. Rubbing your eyes, you head to sleep.     This concludes the World of Tanks Mystery Mayhem week!   We are in awe of the amount of participants this time around. Due to the large amounts of entries, it will take a little longer than normal to sift through entries and pay out the prizes. We are estimating completion in a business week, hopefully by Friday! Please bear with us as we work through over a thousand pages of entries!   We will also make an additional post to list winners of premium tanks!   Thank you again for making this event a success. We would love to hear what you thought about it below. Would you like to see more like it? What can we do to improve this?
