88mm Pupchen Question - herroberst - 02-13-2008 In a game with M1A1 I am using an 88mm Pupchen for close range antitank. I moved it up undercover and it has a perfect shot at a Sherman at close range but I then discovered that it only has cannister ammunition and it has not fired before. Is this normal for Pupchen... I could have sworn that Pupchens fire AT and HE and C? Search on Google was inconclusive. Needless to say, the crew is probably not long for this world. RE: 88mm Pupchen Question - PoorOldSpike - 02-13-2008 Mate, adjust your monitor definition and look again at the Pupps ammo type, it was always issued with HC (hollow-charge) ammo (no other kind) which packs one helluva punch, it can even out-penetrate Flak88's..:) Only drawback was the Pupps appallingly-slow muzz velocity and it'll therefore have a hard time actually hitting anything beyond short ranges.. RE: 88mm Pupchen Question - herroberst - 02-13-2008 Okay, that's what I thought thus my surprise. I'll take a look... maybe I was bleary-eyed from processing the 40 + games I'm playing simultaneously :happy:
