37mm ammo

[Musti]

So
2.4 patch removed special ammunition from tanks..Amongst them was 37mm APC
I think it should be back. Its not really "special" since its not tungsten-core, and it was fairly common.
It would give vehicles armed with it a chance to defend against heavier tanks, and with current angle system it certainly wouldn't make it OP.
I don't know how common were they with M8 Greyhounds, but i think it could also use it, especially on Bulge maps.

Second thing is 37mm Canister shot.
Right now its pretty much useless, because it shoots small amount of pellets, and has high spread.
Increasing the number of pellets would make it a lot more useful (and make it more historically accurate).

Seconded


Special ammo should have been removed from Sherman 76 and most german tanks. But not the 6PDR on Churchill or APC on stuart. Unlike the HVAP, this was pretty common ammo

And the allies pretty much need all the firepower now that they can get

[Hjaldrgud]

I second the canister shots! Right now, a regular winchester seems more powerful

[VonMudra]

Gotta agree, the canister needs a lot more pellets with more spread to be any more useful than the MG.

I tried to shoot down a plane with it and even after a couple of good consistent hits, it wasn't even smoeking

After googling around some, I found this thread! Anyhow yes, it seems that 37mm, as well as most other allies projectiles, had their AP replaced by APC or APCBC starting in 1943. For the 37mm, this gives it an extra 10mm penetration.

Uncapped AP was used for training only in 1944 from what I've gathered. However many are also mislabeled ingame, statistics for an AP shot may be taken from an APCBC, especially true for German tanks.

Edit:
In addition, tungsten wasn't used by Germans except special cases post 1943.

Faith=RESTORED!

I hope you guys also consider the APCBC ammo of 6PDR!

Churchill with special ammo would simply makes it wins Tiger/Panther without PZG40

[Paythoss]

Nope ... they gonna be on equal rights 

And when we still talk about a 37 mm ammo ... FFS how long i must wait for buff for 3.7 cm PaK 36 ? Its totaly demotivating , when  you cant kill anything from side hits ... specially a M3 Stuart    with  25 mm thick vertical armor

Something beating a German tank! Outrageous!

[Kelmola]

Yea, the PaK36 is at the moment practically worthless on every map it's on. Sure, you can take potshots at infantry with HE, but firing at a tank only serves to attract unwanted attention.

Speaking of Churchill, just put the AVRE with its Gun'o'Doom ingame already so we can hear cries of ALLIED BIAS.

[Battlefieldfan45 (CroPanzer)]

Meh, I don't care for bias and that kind of talk BUT PLEASE, an AVRE IN FH2? That would make my wettest dream come true (just like the sturmtiger ^^ )
And wasn't there some kind of a shaped charge that would be muzzle loaded onto a Pak 36? I think I've seen somethink like that in some recreation footage.

[Ts4EVER]

The AVRE is already ingame, just not on any map.

Any PICS? I dont remember that it has been already announced...

[G.Drew]

Doesnt need to be. Theres no map for it.
