Checkmate King and I are squaring off in the AAA Round III and he asked: What's the DF stand for in the HE/DF pairing in the KV-1's loadout.

I honestly couldn't say and wasn't able to find out on the magickal intertubes.

Anyone here about know?

Thanks,

I believe that stands for "Direct Fire". So you have a HE which is for indirect fire mode, HE DF for direct fire mode and AP.

[cazart!]

gabeeg is correct. It is to differentiate between an indirect and direct weapon.

Does that mean that DF is a AP round for the KV-1, since the only other shell available is HE?

[Mad_Dog]

Looking at it right now, I think DF is the HE round, and the AP round is marked AP.

Edited 24 hours after I posted since I got it backwards the first time, sorry for any confusion. :cool:

Glad to know I was not the only one confused about whether the DF designation implied HE rounds.
