RPG are relatively simple devices that can be reloaded etc. Many of the US Anti tank weapons seem alternately puny or Wayyyyy too bulky. Just cant seem to get it right...maybe until now.<br />John Galthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16708866657173222842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970975545475697571.post-90795387202826297722019-11-09T08:29:50.148-05:002019-11-09T08:29:50.148-05:00IRL mortars may adjust fire.

In general I would suggest they could run...but that MAY leave them moving under fire. VERY doubtful they could get a vehicle going much or at all before follow up rounds . Again, since a militia crew maybe. Either way though I think that Tanker is about to be a fireball.John Galthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16708866657173222842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970975545475697571.post-38893714629237047272019-11-09T01:39:30.739-05:002019-11-09T01:39:30.739-05:00I wonder if Gimp and his RPG-7 will end up coming ...I wonder if Gimp and his RPG-7 will end up coming into play. From the map and diagram, it looks like Quinn's position as spotter for the mortar is only about one hundred meters from the store and the laagered vehicles of the hostile force. If Gimp can make his way there, at that range he has a 90-95 percent probability of hitting the tanker, just in case the mortar attack does not do it. However, at 200 meters the hit probability drops to fifty percent, and at 300 meters it drops to just 20 percent.<br /><br />Since 2009 there has been am American made version of the RPG-7 that comes with Eotech sights, giving the weapon a ninety percent hit probability at 800 meters. So if it is one of these, and if Gimp can get to Jason's position on M-99, he can still barbeque the enemy tanker from there if need be. Also, from there, with his RPG-7, he could provide an effective rearguard defense against enemy vehicles racing North on M-99 to come to the aid of the task Force currently occupying Pete's store.

If they can think fast enough, they might have just enough time to disburse their laagered vehicles and escape the impending mortaring.George Truehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17352709031834067303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970975545475697571.post-5661799570063958502019-11-08T13:05:12.406-05:002019-11-08T13:05:12.406-05:00Nicely done!Nicely done!Old NFOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16404197287935017147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970975545475697571.post-69077432481072988632019-11-08T09:29:20.153-05:002019-11-08T09:29:20.153-05:00Suggestion on the sighting rounds.

That might also have some psychological effect on those about to be hammered.<br /><br />If they can get one round on that tanker, the BBQ should be epic.The Freeholderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09989697995675652792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970975545475697571.post-12175436866655865702019-11-08T07:30:46.444-05:002019-11-08T07:30:46.444-05:00I don't write these stories.
