Looks nice, hope we get chance to play all these new maps soon if this is the final map for the patch.

Like a Stuart will change anything. 37mm HE has a shit blast radius and the Stuart be taken out by every panzerfaust, AT gun, and PzIV that will probably be included on this map.

You can never "really" support infantry in FH2, because there is just too many AT threats.
Ligth tanks can be intact or immobile, but never both
Give me the stuart and i shall create more allied bias

One thing concerns me is that how come the stuart's HE round seemed to be weaker than a German Stick Grenade... why don't they just shoot grenades instead?

It is I suppose, even for the explosion radius.

In that case Mils-nuke is even more better than HE round.

What were the engineers thinking when they designed the M63? Might as well use AP as the only way you can kill someone is directly hitting them.

But the blast should injure people at least?

Yeah that must be a waste of explosives if it is weaker than a grenade. Frankly, why not just install a coaxial grenade launcher instead?

Just the amount of explosives tells very little, the weight of the fragmentable shell would be more interesting to know. As half of this board knows already, the German "potato masher" was designed to be partially a concussion grenade, that kills and/or stuns by blast wave and doesn't send much shrapnel so that assault troops can charge while the grenade is still flying, so naturally it was mostly TNT and very little shrapnel. Most of the lethal power of any grenade comes from the shrapnel, as the blast wave dies off rather quickly - inversely cubed in relation to the increase in distance.

Bingo.  The 37mm HE has a smaller blast, but it would have far more shrapnel potential.

ah! So the HE rounds in FH still lacks that kind of shrapnel thing.

I would like it at least to injure people within a reasonable radius of where the shell landed. At least forcing them to use their bandages right? (for mills bomb you also only get injured when far from the explosion)
