Playing MP game "Head On" and the British 25pd gun is seemingly more effective then I have ever seen it before. My foe so far has taken five shots with it and destroyed: 1 PZIII, 2 PZ IV, 1 Halftrack, and an 88 inside a building so undercover. there have been NO MISSES only destruction. Also I moved a PZIII in hunting mode to 2 squares of a FLANK shot at a Matilda II and it showed a "0" Percent chance of penetration (you can get better odds on a first date) and no chance of a kill. Is this right, I could see a front shot being a big zero but .... got the same percentages with an infantry unit with explosives next to a Matilda II.

One thing I could think of with the Panzers is that they may have lowered the armour ratings compared to the later war versions in BA.

88s will take out the Matildas but they are tough.

Oh by the way the 25pd gun got all it's hits by bombard not once was the gun in any line of sight. I still don't know where it is.
