Pan

this "scout" car ... is still killing everything... even frontal!

any words from CRS about that "old" bug ??

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panhard_178

[DOC]

What "old bug" is that ? This report needs more detail, what is being killed "frontally" by the gun on the Panhard that shouldn't be ? I see the word "everything" functioning in that role but that doesn't seem like a very accurate assesment.

quick search on google..

German tests :

The test was carried out 1/8-1941 with a 2,5cm KwK 121(f) by HWA on a 120 kg/mm2 armor plate (source : "Kennblätter fremden geräts heft 8a, Munition bis 3,6 cm" Released in Berlin 1941).

100 meters = 47mm /0°

500 meters = 40mm /0°

1000 meters = 30mm /0°

100 meters = 35mm /30°

500 meters = 30mm /30°

1000 meters = 20mm /30°

100 meters = 18mm /45°

500 meters = 16mm /45°

1000 meters = 15mm /45°

so if this is right it should be able to?

and oh.. FYI its an anti-tank gun its using

put two satchels, two not one, on rear butt plate of pan today, pan always flames with only one in that sap spot, killed driver but gunner still firing, placed another satchel on rear butt plate, it jumped over to the rear fender on its own, gunner still not dead. Sap spot changed? bug? new feature?

German tier 0 armor is mostly tin. I can kill pan with one shot almost always with any real cannon. If you're close use HE. AT usually goes right through unless it hits something.

Bugs with satchels aren't specific to Panhards

There's technically no such thing as a sap spot. There are components behind armor that can be susceptible to a shaped charge penetration (satchel). No interior components, or anything else, specifically changed for the Pan this year.
