a while ago I read that aiming with a stug was faster than with a tank and the accuracy was greater. Can anyone elaborate on that?

hi, thanks for the replies yes in polish we call tungsten wolfram :D for some reason russians started to use phosphorus (P) and sulfur (S) at the end of the war. Wondering how this improved the armour. It would be nice to have also german stats for the beginning of the war for comparison - whether t...

Just wanted to clear up my earlier post when I cited the following [quote="file"] [quote] [b]Volframium [/b]is by far the best element to increase Rockwell or Brinnel number to maximise resistence and to absorb stresses and chocks. However is highly expensive and used mostly in gun barrels...

thanks for the replies. I found the following data on another site but I don't know if it is true. The following are the compositions of german and ussian armour in 44 in %: german: C - 0,41-0,49 Mn - 0,80-1,20 Si- 0,50-0,80 Cr - 0,90-1,20 P - lower than 0,03 S - lower then 0,03 Fe - rest russian (%...

[quote="Tim Rossiter"]I have a copy for sale through Amazon.com.[/quote]

Is this the one for 99 dolars?

I was hoping to find a copy for around 50 dolars. At least thats how much it costs on the Frank Cass site.

PS Is your copy a special edition?

PS2 Its also out on abebooks.

hi,

anyone knows where I could by this book. It appears to be out of stock everywhere.

oh and one more question...

if someone could answer what is the difference between the rockwell and brinell hardness.

ps. Darrin does this study broadly decribe the armour and armement of the 2ww.

thanks.

hi, thanks for the replies. I just found this info on another forum [quote]Armor Fe-C alloys are develloped to have maximum resistence to impact. The quality of a Binary Carbon Steel alloy can be incresed with the presence of Nickel ( also excellent rolling properties and strengness ), Molibdenium, ...

thanks,

and what minerals made the armour stronger? any bhn figures for germans and russians? i found "only" this http://web.archive.org/web/200003111300 ... ction.html

Hi,

does anyone have any info on this organisation and its successes and failures?

thanks

Yes it did... thanks a lot

nope.. why?

hello,

did the german tanks later in the war have lower quality of armour. I keep reading about some material shortages which supposedly caused this but the bhn for the plates didn't seem to drop a lot. How did it compare to russian armour?

thanks in advance

hello,

can anyone explain the differnece between the Beob and the Befwg, and how they were used.

thanks

Thanks a lot for the replies. Jentz also states something about the manulas for F2 which actually added to the confusion.
