(I'm guessing the 37mm is an AT weapon and can't be elevated high enough to shoot at aircraft??? )

I agree on cupholders.... Heated seats will be necessary after we rercieve some winter action (maybe some winter russian front?).

But I disagree on the gun! IMO every gun can be elevated high enough to be used as antiaircraft weapon...

I like to shoot down incoming planes from Panzer's Main gun using HE shells... Thats what I call 1 ping kills!

The 37mm is manually loaded weapon, but was capable or fairly high-angle fire (I think something like 60deg). ROF should be somewhere around 25rpm. Don't expect to take down many planes with this one. The M2 is your better bet.

37mm fires HE and AP, or APBCR. Could likely take AA guns, Osties and M16/M3's. Can take a PzIV from the rear or very close in the sides (the PzIV wasn't well armored for '44/45, with 50-80mm in the turret and front).

Armor is thin, mostly around 16mm.

It was, and will probably act like, armored cav.

The tires should be vulnerable to cannon fire no?

Already found several scale "issues" with it

cc Jigster, unacceptable, barely looks like an M8.......

HTC what about an M20, it be easy as hell to do now and could be used as a light transport of some sort?
