How would you rate a 57mm recoiless rifle (range, HE hit number, burst size, etc)? I've read the effective range is 450 yards and capable of firing HE, Cannister and HEAT rounds. Any thoughts appreciated. |

Hmmmm, just a guess, but perhaps like that of the early US bazooka, e.g. the 2.36" model. |

Sorry Im not that familiar with CD. The 57mm and 75mm were obviously meant to be an improvement on the Bazooka. I don't think they were that successful. Maybe class the 57mm as a Panzerschrek with a bit more range. Canister as 37mm AT Gun? |

There is a description and range bands for the 57mm in the Combined Arms modern rules variant of CDII? It is listed under the weapons charts for Turkey as a hand held anti tank weapon. It basically has a range of 20", bear in mind this is before modifiers, 1 inch=50 yards, for direct fire and the penetration is 2xdie10. The HE affect against soft targets/infantry is 3. Bear in mind that the penetration values for CD and Combined arms might be different. |

Howdy, I did not have Combined Arms handy. Using above, In Test of Battle (CD v.4), would probably look like: HEAT: 6"/7/2x 12"/5/2x 18"/3/2x
HE: 6"/7/H 12"/5/H 18"/3/H Ponder on, JAS |
