Warning on Jap type 89 tank

[Weasel]

WARNING: in a game I discovered that the Jap type 89 tank WILL NOT fire AP ammo at any time, no matter what the target or the range. In two experiments I set up, this tank would not engage other tanks, even when in the same hex, with AP but only HE. Once all HE is expended (80 rounds!) then it will fire AP. It got so bad in my game that I had my rear area counter attack tanks z firing into adjacent hexes to burn off HE. THIS TANK IS :censored:

(to do the experiment yourself, buy some type 89s and enemy tanks, deploy with all weapons turn off and drive them into the same hex. Then fire with the type 89 and watch the HE fly).

Also to go with this, the FT17 will only fire it's AP ammo at 2 hex range, anything above that it will only fire HE, once again no matter what the target.

It really sucked the weenies when I bought 16 of the type 89 planning on an armoured counter attack only to find out they were beyond useless. Damn things wouldn't even sink a landing barge!
