Default 17 pounder
Is the 17 pounder AT piece already in-game? If not will it be included in the next update and will we have APDS as a selectable ammo type?

17 pounders weren't used in North Africa, they were first used in Italy. Might be in the Normandy patch, though.

Ah yes you're correct, I thought they were used at the end of the North African campaign but they first saw action in Feb 1943 in Italy. Ah well, will just have to wait to give those Tigers some 17 pounder APDS love.

Correct, I misread the wikipedia page on the 17 pounder, however my initial assumption that they were used in North Africa was kind of correct, from the Wikipedia page:

Quote:
A prototype production line was set up that spring, and with the appearance of Tiger tanks in North Africa, the first 100 prototype 17-pdr anti-tank guns were quickly sent off to help counter this new threat. So great was the rush that they were sent before proper carriages had been developed, and the guns had to be mounted in the carriages of 25-pounder gun-howitzers. These early weapons were known as 25/17-pounders and given the codename Pheasant. They first saw action in February 1943.

So is the above quote incorrect? Were the 25/17-pounders never used in North Africa?
