German Tanks in PB

[Commissar Piotr]

Hi Guys

The German Tanks that are made on french chassies cannot be wrecked in VASL, is there a fix for that?

I've just checked the German (f) vehicles, looks like the 38H 735(f) & 35-S 739(f) are unWreckable. I'll get them fixed for the next release, where there any others you found?

Just use Panthers instead...then you don't have to worry about wrecks at all. :clown:

PzKw IVF2 APCR Depletion shows 5 in '42 but nothing for '43 or '44

Thx Brian. The Ch. H listing (ger veh note 23) shows only A5 in '42, but the actual ctr has A5 '42 / A4 '43. Nothing for '44, where the germ rarity chart shows the PzIVausfF2 as not available after 12/43. I'll add the A4 '43 value to his Info for the next release.

Nothing for '44, where the germ rarity chart shows the PzIVausfF2 as not available after 12/43.

I wonder why the counter shows A3 in 1944?

None of mine do. You are perhaps looking at a PzIVH?

I'm new with vehicles so I'm probably screwing something up here..
Pz IVF2 MA=75L ROF1 3/5 14MP Fast Turret Front AF=6 Side/Rear=3Square s8 sD6 CS6
BV3 and SK3 counters both show A3 in 44 for this guy.
Does PzIVausfF2=Pz IVF2?

Thanks for checking this out!

Does PzIVausfF2=Pz IVF2?

Yes, ausf. (ausführung) is German for 'model' or 'mark'.

In my Ch. H, the illustration of the back-side of the PzIVF2 (p. H14) and the vehicle listing chart (p. H10) shows only A5 '42. My actual ctrs (from BV 1st ed.) have A5^2/4^3, & the rarity factor chart (Ch. H divider) shows the PzIVF2 unavailable after 12/43, which seems unlikely to me!

Only 175 F2's were made, from March to July of '42. The ASL ctr also probably represents that half of the PzIVG production which was made w/o the add'l bolt-on armor, the up-armored IVG's are represented by the PzIVH ctr.

What does your Ch. H have to say? Since there seem to be 3 different answers to this question, mebbe drop Perry a line to get the true picture.

I just dug out my Chapter H[ASLRBv2] and see what you are talking about! The "Chapter H" that comes with SK3 however
does show the APCR numbers for '43 and '44 just like the BV3/SK3 counters. I'll drop Perry a line and see what he thinks.

Thanks for all the great VASL work!

My actual ctrs (from BV 1st ed.) have A5^2/4^3

This should be correct per the C8.12 Table, which lists A3 available in 1944 for German 75Ls.

Enjoy, Joshua

thx JOS, that's good enough justification for me to add the 'A3^4' to the PzIVF2 ctr's Info. Pert' amusin' when correcting VASL errata gets stalled by errata in the ASLRB!
