Second part of post I have been seeing the photo and (excluding the rust which it has in some zones :lol::lol:), it hasn’t cap. Initially, it was intended to be a field gun, but the ballistic qualities were so good that It was changed to AT gun. The preliminary trials showed that it...

Hi to all ¡ two parts post :oops: The MG 151 was necked up to 20 mm from the original 15 mm. It was relatively common practice. Both captured Soviet Flak guns, the 76, 2 mm and the 85 mm were necked up to accommodate the standard HE and APCBC-HE shells from the Flak 36 88 mm gun when all...

Hi to all ¡ The only differences between the PzIV Ausf H and the Ausf J was that the Ausf J carried more fuel and more armour in the turret at the expense of the automatic turning mechanism of the turret (It had to be hand turned, which could be very exhausting), but It didn’t changed (as...

My God :shock: ¡ The threads have avanced very fast until last time I connected. Very good stuff ¡¡ I will check but It was an enlarged cartridge, althought both fired the same shell. Yes, it was the same round. Slightly off topic, but It was different cartridge, altough same shell...

Hello to all :D No problem, my friend (If you know how many times I have made mistakes). Hehehe :oops: :thumbup:. It was experimental. They tried to extract all the maximum performance without too many changes I suppose (If I remember well, Soren posted sometime ago a scale model of the...

Hello to all :D I am happy being useful. :D It was probably a very good reason. The sabots tend to jam the gun when it included a muzzle brake. But also may be from the ejection of the sabots from the gatling gun spinning. Truly I don’t know the exact reason/s behind. I don’t know...

Hello schwarzpanzer ¡¡ :D Germany didn’t have this calibre. It was the 15 cm (really 149,1 mm). It was briefly considered for the Maus and E-100 in the form of the KwK 44 15 cm L39, although I think that It was dropped fastly in favour of the new 128 L66 PaK 44 (enlarged barrel) and the new...

Hello to alll ¡ No, It was a true APFSDS shot. You can see it in the diagram: Completely true, Schwarzpanzer. The various types of PzGr40 were filled with Tungsten Carbide, with hardened steel, with SOFT IRON ¡¡¡ and also with uranium cores (ultra-limited quantities)...

In fact, It was made an APFSDS shot for the 37 mm PaK36, but I don´t know If it took this designation (PzGr 44). It was known as PPS (Peenemünder Pfeil Geschoss). But this shot was only experimental. Not necesary. The first 115 mm APFSDS-T for the Soviet gun were of maraging steel, so It was...

Thanks Vincenzo :oops:(faster than me aswering :oops:) Prove that all the data I have given is false with original documents and with those books which I have cited. Do you t know about the trial data (not theoretical) obtained by the prototypic "Seetakt" in 1937-38? You would probably...

:evil: That is becoming quite anoying. Now you try to justify all the things that you have said by confound the metric surface search radar type 279 (which you didn´t mentioned previously in none of your previous post) with the gunlaying centimetric radar Type 274? You have said all the...

If You like, I would suggest better the book "GEMA" from Harry von Kroge, original German documents like AGR, or the manual of the FuG 224 (or If You like FuMO 81) "Berlin" series radar sets, books like "Blitz und anker" (both 2 volumes) from Joachim Beckh, some books about radar technology like...

The last post of my answer. Again not. Taking into account only the frequency (or the equivalent, wavelength) by itself, means nothing about overall accuracy and definition of the set. There are a lot of other parameters far more important than wavelength. If this would be the case, the SCR...

In fact, the writer of the webpage has no idea about the ship, as She was classified ever as a fast battleship by Germany and built as such (Schlachtschiff, not Schlacht Kreuizer). That’s not correct. “Naxos” was tuned to catch emissions in the range of 10-9 cm as direct response to H2S...

In this battle probably yes, but those sets were of less capability than the installed in heavy cruisers and battleships, so I don’t know If really were effective in the so rough sea of these days and, also, They had very limited range (given the reduced height of the aerials) of some 10-12 kms...
