I have a few questions on the topic of AP/HE Equivalency (C8.31). See the relevant text below:
Let's start with AP.
1. I believe that this option exists for when a gun only has AP (no HE) and the target is Infantry hiding behind a wall or in a bld/rubble/pillbox? Is there any other time that one would desire to shoot AP as an "HE equivalent"? Just wondering...
Let's move on to HEAT.
2. I understand when to use this (HEAT vs. Personnel hiding as per above) - the first three column are clear in which IFT columns to use for which weapon. But the last column ("Other Ordnance") is for guns that have H# (not H9 as per note #3), but the column that I should use is not clear.
Let's say that the gun is a Russian 76L. Normally, on the IFT, this ordnance (not halved) would use the 12 column and if shooting HE (halved for Area fire), would use the 4 column. According to C8.31, if this gun was shooting HEAT at a Personnel hiding as per above, would I use the 2 column (left of 4) or 8 column (left of 12)?
Thanks, in advance.
