I wonder why they ever made that happen as we all know one gun out doesn't break both...

Yes Randy, sadly the CM program isn't very good with handling two guns on a tank..

My problem witht the Grants is getting them out of hull down positions.
Hull down they fire the 37mm gun.
If I advance them a little they hit the brakes and slam it into reverse and back into hull down:(

GRANT IN ACTION
I ran these tests below to try to get some idea of when exactly it'll fire its main or small gun against which targets, but I'm still not sure I fully understand what goes on in it's crews minds..

PIC 1 - The 75mm engages PzIV's. (the 37mm doesn't fire)

PIC 2 - The 37mm engages Tigers! (the 75mm doesn't fire)
For some reason the crew think the 37 will hurt a Tiger more than the 75..

PIC 3 - The 75mm engages halftracks. (the 37mm doesn't fire)

PIC 4 - Now I place the Grant hulldown, note the targetting line clearly says 'hulldown'

PIC 5- And yet the 75mm fires even though the tank is hull down! Beats me, I can't explain it..

I think the reason for the Grant using it's 37mm against Tigers (hard target) is because it sees it's 75mm weapon purely as a howitzer. Therefore it will engage soft or "softer targets," like the halftracks with it, instead of the 37mm gun.
