Field mods aren't exactly production are they Sent via BlackBerry from T-Mobile -Original Message- From: John Pittelli jpl...@yahoo.com Sender: rctankcombat@googlegroups.com Date: Sun, 9 Feb 2014 21:07:49 To: tank clubrctankcombat@googlegroups.com Reply-To: rctankcombat@googlegroups.com Subject: [TANKS] Minor upgrade to T-79 Spent a few hours today adding an upgrade to the Abomination. An observer mumbled that it would be outlawed. Oh well, I leave that to our forum to decide. Check out the last page of T-79. On another note, while reading a roster for Operation Hercules , it seems that one of the 12 Pz II Ausf J's in the Bethke Co. was field outfitted with the 75mm short barrel howitzer from the early PzIV's. I found this photo of that tank . PzII is on the left While unfortunately the gun is not visible, you can clearly see the standard 75mm ammo box stowed on the right rear fender. To the rules committee: I will be making this variation. Please upgrade the ammo allotment from 30 rounds to 40 rounds. Thank you in advance for your consideration.

Furthermore, i suspect adding the 75 l24 would handicap the vehicle in other ways, such as limited traverse speed on the turret... And as a side note, the 75 l24 was an infantry support weapon. Its capabilities against enemy armor are negligible.

Re: [TANKS] Minor upgrade to T-79
Don't think we want to get into this about the function of a particular gun - as in whether or not it was used against vehicles or personnel or bunkers. If that were the case, my Sturmtiger would be considered arty. Even assault guns can be fired as direct fire weapons. An HE round fired at a hard target can do damage even if it's only to the crew. Take out the crew = worthless tank.

Re: [TANKS] Minor upgrade to T-79
The issue here is not whether a gun is a mortar or not. The rules do not differentiate between gun types. The issue is whether a field expedient applied to one vehicle constitutes a new class of production vehicle. I say it does not. If you want to open this door, than any tank with a logged tied to the front of it by its crew (as extra armor) would bump it up to 4 hits.

Re: [TANKS] Minor upgrade to T-79
Before everyone gets their panties in a twist, there are a couple things you should know: John posted the story and picture as a joke because (a) the list has been quiet recently and (b) he was reminding me to post the following: At the recent Tank Expo held in Annapolis, a Rules Committee was convened to discuss a number of proposals, with the following results: a) Joe Sommer officially proposed Derek's suggestion to grant 40/4 ratings to all tanks, regardless of model size, gun size or armor thickness. That proposal was an alternative to others made in a lengthy discussion on the mailing list back in December. Joe has also made similar suggestions over the past couple of years. After a short discussion, the Rules Committee voted to PASS the rule change, implemented as updates to the Offensive Rating (Rule III.3) and the Defensive Rating (Rule III.4) rules. b) Doug Conn proposed that Armored Cars be granted the same frontal hit exemption as tanks to encourage them to be built. Other members had no problem with that change, provided that the speed of Armored Cars was restricted. The Rules Committee voted to PASS the rule change, implemented as an update to the Frontal hits definition in the Defensive Rating rule (Rule III.3) and the addition of the following rule: Rule IV.6.e - The maximum speed of an Armored Car may not be greater than the maximum speed of the fastest tank participating in the battle. c) To maintain the balance of the game, the speed limit on Armored Cars was also extended to Support Vehicles, resulting in the addition of the following rule: Rule IV.7.k - The maximum speed of a Support Vehicle may not be greater than the maximum speed of the fastest tank participating in the battle. d) The Rules Committee discussed Doug Conn's proposal to limit the rate of fire for all markers. No consensus was reached, other than to conduct some battlefield experiments to see how it might work. To that end, the Navarone Gun, and possibly other artillery pieces, will be converted on a volunteer basis to electronically restrict their firing rate (e.g., 1 second pause after firing each paintball).

Re: [TANKS] Minor upgrade to T-79
I like it. Well, mayhaps not the all 4/40 thing. heh. But the armored car change is welcome. I suspect the speed limits will be by challenge, i.e. someone will mention that the armored car (or supply vehicle) looks a little fast. Someone will then drive out the fastest tank and an impromptu drag race will ensue. :) The rate of fire thing is nice also. 1 second is still fast enough for most folks. I think there is some electronic timing circuits out there in the model warship world that would work perfectly. Mike PS I knew John was pulling our leg with that post.

Re: [TANKS] Minor upgrade to T-79
Simple: We'll kneecap any AC driver who goes over the speed limit :-) Seriously, it's been a gentleman's game for over 10 years without any serious rule infractions or conflicts. We trust each participant to police themselves. If the sad day arrives that such trust is not sufficient, then I'm sure a simple speed gun/gate can serve as the necessary enforcement mechanism.

Re: [TANKS] Minor upgrade to T-79
Actually, we've got a couple fairly easy solutions to choose from. I've created an R/C switch board that can be used to control an electronic trigger. The board can be field upgraded to change the delay time after each shot. The Navarone has been converted to use that board. Given Doug's programming skills, I have no doubt he can add a similar feature to the Bofors controller for experimental purposes. Mike Lyons has also developed a simple board that can be used between an R/C receiver and a servo to enforce the time delay. That could be easily retro-fitted to any servo-actuated trigger (like Marty's Flak88).

Seems as though quite a few folks swallowed my misinformation , breach , barrel and phony ammo box. LOL. Stay tuned for further updates. Sorry to see that T-40 will not be at battle this year. Especially since you did all of that work Steve .

Mine works so I probably won't change it though. I think Surplus Center has these pretty cheap, right?

Oh well, I leave that to our forum to decide. Check out the last page of T-79. On another note, while reading a roster for Operation Hercules , it seems that one of the 12 Pz II Ausf J's in the Bethke Co. was field outfitted with the 75mm short barrel howitzer from the early PzIV's. I found this photo of that tank . PzII is on the left While unfortunately the gun is not visible, you can clearly see the standard 75mm ammo box stowed on the right rear fender. To the rules committee: I will be making this variation. Please upgrade the ammo allotment from 30 rounds to 40 rounds. Thank you in advance for your consideration. Strength through a better Abomination. Oberst Johann -- -- You are currently subscribed to the R/C Tank Combat group.

Re: [TANKS] Minor upgrade to T-79
with the new roller your using do you have any concerns with them jamming due to dirt or crap from game play? can they be taken apart and cleaned if need be? wouldn't something of a hard material like that make a ware ring after a short time of use? chris -- -- You are currently subscribed to the R/C Tank Combat group.
