Jugasa's Equipment Charts

[jugasa]

Hello, everybody.
Have you ever imagine an Albatros D5 flying over the skies of France at 1940?
How much airspeed could it reach?
Here are an expansion for standard 1939 to 1945 equipment charts.

First of all, the blank chart to take notes.

Hello, I am going to explain the development ratio of the charts.
Weapon development is faster in war time than in peace time.
1913-1914 years have a ratio of 1:4.
1915 year has a ratio of 1:2.
1916-1917 years have a ratio of 1:1.
1918 year has a ratio of 1:2.
1919-1920 years have a ratio of 1:4.
1921-1932 years have a ratio of 1:8.
1933-1934 years have a ratio of 1:4.
1935-1938 years have a ratio of 1:2.
1939-1952 years have a ratio of 1:1.
1953-1960 years have a ratio of 1:2.
1961-2028 years have a ratio of 1:4.
Notice that all charts are linked and are proportional.

Hello. Impressive work. I play 2 games of Shrapnel games : SPWW2 and SPMBT, based on the same model as Gary Grigsby Steel Panther WAW. I regret one thing about Panzer Corps : the range of weapons. I don't explain that, for example, the 8.8 flak have 3 hexagons in A.A. and just one in A.T. Why? The only advantage of having a Tiger with this gun is that it inflicts a lot of damage but I wish I could have taken advantage of the range of his gun. It's the reason what I like SPWW2 and SPMBT. The range is taken into account: in a confrontation between a Tiger and a T-34, the tiger takes advantage of the distance but the T-34 manoeuvres better and is faster.

Hello, thanks. I suppose that AA guns have a theoric range based on the heights its shells can reach. I don't know exactly how many kilometres or milles represent each hexagons: I guess it is 5km but I think also that there is variation between one scenario to another. What about weapon range? There are two kind of fires: direct and indirect. Artillery uses indirect fire and has a range of several hexagons. At direct fire, range is something similar to initiative: the more initiative the more range. A Tiger unit has more initiative than a T-34 unit, so it can fire first before the T-34 gets in range to fire their weapons: but it is still a direct fire combat.

FYI, the gun of the 8.8 flak was the basis for the development of the gun of the Tiger I tank:

Hello, everybody. After two weeks of editing units with charts version 1.19 I have noticed that there is too much difference between units with the same armor and with the same weapons. So, I have decided to slow the weapon development ratio of the years after WW2: until 1945 everything is ok and I haven't change anything. New weapons development ratios are the following:

1913-1914 years have a ratio of 1:4 (slow): no changes.
1915 year has a ratio of 1:2 (average): no changes.
1916-1917 years have a ratio of 1:1 (fast): no changes.
1918 year has a ratio of 1:2 (average): no changes.
1919-1920 years have a ratio of 1:4 (slow): no changes.
1921-1932 years have a ratio of 1:8 (very slow): no changes.
1933-1934 years have a ratio of 1:4 (slow): no changes.
1935-1938 years have a ratio of 1:2 (average): no changes.
1939-1944 years have a ratio of 1:1 (fast).
1945-1948 years have a ratio of 1:2 (average).
1949-1956 years have a ratio of 1:4 (slow).
1957-2048 years have a ratio of 1:8 (very slow).

Are this ratios real? According with Gary Grisby's Steel Panthers, Panzer IV's guns have an armor piercing of 135 to 140mm. Is it for 500m range? Is it for 1000m range? I don't know... A 120mm Rheinmetall gun of an Abrams or a Leopard 2 tank has an armor piercing of 400mm at a range of 500m and it has an armor piercing of 368mm at a range of 1000m. I considered that a Panzer IV's gun has a hard attack of 13-16 and a 120mm Rheinmetall has a hard attack of 36 on 1986. With v1.30 ratings different models of the same unit has similar values. According to new ratings of v1.30 we should get ratings as follows...

The chart is uncompleted but gives you an idea of modern main battle tanks ratings from the end of WW2 to our times.

Version 1.30 of the charts comes with the next posts.
