why did it explode mid-air?

[Dragehest]

it does that to spread the shards as efficient as possible. this shell could take out a whole platoon, camp or group of light vehicles

@PyrotechnicTom

Yes, you just turn a dial to set the number of meters the grenade will travel before detonating.

[PyrotechnicTom]

@Dragehest How does the user know when the shell will detonate? Is their a fuse that must be manually set?

[KarILsson]

@imohammed2 ...it was suppos to do that...HE(high explotion) can be fused to either detonate on impact or as an airburst..The HE round has about 800 steel pellets that are realy effectiv on soft targets in airburst.

@Dragehest How many meter increments, 50m? What is the difference between 411B and D?

@John234pwns As long as you set the distance on the scope BEYOND the distance set on the projectile.....
