[ASLML] DI Q

[Kenneth Knudsen]

Actually, I said that and Seth seems to disagree, but nevermind that.

Just bare in mind that DI is only allowed if the firing weapon's Basic TK# is > the targets lowest hull AF.
So if you can't punch through it, there's a risk that DI is disallowed, in which case you can't harm that AFV at all with that
weapon.
ATR's usually fall for this one vs later war AFV's (EX: IS-2, IS-3, Tigers).

Seth came through with the skinny:

Of which I agree.  This is a pretty rare case.

If you are going to try DI and need an improbable hit to make it happen, you
are probably better off just firing normally and hoping for a CH.  Probably
a better chance for a kill than just going for the DI at that point.  Maybe
if you need a 2 or less to hit anyway and you have zero chance of punching
through if you do hit, you might want to go for DI.

Those would be some desperate times---glad I didn't have to worry about that
with my Is-2m's last weekend.  :P
