"I was hoping to get links to guides that covered all aspects but to be specific, how effective allied guns are against axis tanks and how to identify them:
Battleground Europe is a very complex game from a vehicle weapons combat perspective, mostly because we use a sophisticated weapons ballistics and consequential damage outcomes game engine. An understanding of what weapons can damage or destroy what vehicles, and how they achieve such outcomes, is crucial to success in the games combat environment. In the past ... and currently, due to the fairly realistic nature of the modeling of this that we have attempted to create in the game, and the huge task that producing a comprehensive guide to these things would cuase us to undertake, we have relied on players using existing real world stats and guides that they can locate on the Internet and in various books on the subject, which by and large are a fairly reliable guide to the games ballistics outcomes because of the accuracy we have coded into this area of the game engine. Coupled with experimentation and experience in game this method gets players up to speed with regard to what does and doesn't work in game relative to the weapons and vehicles they will be shooting at. It's not ideal however. A lot of players don't know where to look for these types of guides and information, and when they do, some don't know exactly what vehicles and weapons to referance with this material. They can get that information from the WIKI on Battleground Europe's website in many cases but many don't realize they can do this. What we need to do in the future, and this remains an on going project for us in fact (underway as a work in progress at the present time and expanding as we go) ... is to include in the Battleground Europe WIKI a more comprehensive guideto the weapons and vehicles which will include basic penetration data for the weapons and armour or protective value of the various vehicles. Naturally this will be slightly abstracted comparedto the real life vehicles as the games models are not able to be built as complex as the real ones were. We hope to have this part of the Battleground Europe WIKI information done sometime soon, and this should be a huge help to those who struggle undertsanding what can damage or destory what and why it can or can't. |
