57mm RR

[Sunray]

I am putting together an OOB for  1945 US Marine unit . and was checking BKC list (p.50).  No sign of the57mm RR.  Does anyone have the AT and AP for this weapon ?

Gordon - if inapproprate to this section, kick it to the rules

Hmm - not sure: in CWC it's given as 3/30 (H) - ie treat as howitzer which means that it can only fire at AFVs within half distance...so I'd go with that, or adjust it down [Pete tends not to do 5cm increments] to become AT 4/10 & AP 3/30?

It's roughly same as the M9 Bazooka, bit more accurate if on a tripod. Didn't see service until 1945 if I remeber right, and lasted till the late 80's in minor armires. The Chinese also copied it.

Not as bad as the Korean war thread on this forum- some poor sod looking for info on the battle of the Inchon landings,  clocks in......and gets a tutorial on Henry IV !

Sunray off to roll dice with his 57mm...a potential game changer !
