Looking for a clear explanation...

[GUNSLNGR]

I'm getting killed, literally, because my understanding of couple things is foggy at best. The SPWW2 and MBT manuals cover some of this stuff, but I'm a product of the public school system - so I need a little help.

So, can anyone give a nice, clear explanation of the numbers on the information screen for Range, Warhead, Kill and Penetration? Particularly Kill and Penetration.

I'd like to know how these numbers work in the game (examples are good) and a good understanding of how they work together for the advantage or disadvantage of a particular unit type. The manual is great, but I'd like it dumbed down a bit.

I'm tired of buying what I think is the perfect AT weapon, only to watch it endlessly ping off the body of a small tank as it rolls over my helpless and often hapless infantry.

So I lay down the gaunlet. Whom ever can explain this the best wins not only the satisfaction, but also my sincere gratitude.

Thanks,

Nick S.
