How well does an M8 do against a Panzer going head to head with it? Not well at all. but we still have them and they are still FUN and allow for a different "venue" in terms of GVing.

 

Actually the M8 can do quite well if you stay moving and learn to run N gun on the move.
I often take particular delight in running around in an M8 and popping the turrets on panzers then moving on to the next while friendly armor moves up to finish em off.

I dont get the kill but I know it must aggrivate the hell outa some people:D

Is that the Tank Destroyer  model that Audie Murphy  was serving on when he won the CMH while defending a crossroads?

Audie Murphy was infantry, not a tanker.

Audie Murphy was a Second Lieutenant, U.S. Army, Company B 1 5th Infantry, 3d Infantry Division.  While in a battle near Holtzwihr France, 26 January 1945, 6 German tanks and 250 Infantrymen approached. Being greatly outnumbered, Audie ordered his men to pull back. Audie called in artillery on the approaching enemy but did not stop them.

Audie decided to take action. Near his position was a burning M-10 tank destroyer. Audie climbed on top, and turned the machine gun on the approaching Germans. As Audie fired from the burning tank, the artillery began to land in earnest and the German advance faltered. For almost an hour, Audie continued to lay down fire on the Germans. When he ran out of ammunition, he dropped into the snow and discovered he had been wounded, his third, in the leg. Enemy soldiers lay dead just 10 yards from the tank destroyer.

What?! You forgot the Bachem Natter!!

The only plane which should be negatively perked

[DieAz]

He forgot the P-26 Pea Shooter , and that should give you perks just for flying it

and to even make it better the hellcat was the fastest tank in the war topping 60mph, imagine running down m3's with this thing

what was the name of that german bomber used in the war for sinking ships i think it had four engines

[Edbert]

Not quite true IIRC: they were enclosed but they had no roof armour (i.e. the top was just metal sheeting not armour).

The M10 (tank destroyer) was completely open on top like the Marder was, although the Marder was also open to the rear and had no turret The German infantry had a nasty habit of attacking them with simple hand grenades, made possible from their extensive experience in fighting armor with infantry out in the East. That is why the M18 had some metal on the roof, stil easily strafed to death in the MA.

The latter Shermans (Easy8 and Firefly) were at least equal to if not better than the MarkIV, yet still outclassed by the Panther, at least in the armor department. The M26 was more than a match for the Tiger-I, how many of them actually saw combat?

Lastly, I am American. I fly mostly american planes. Call it a 'sentimental' thing I guess. That would be the only way I would put it. Its just like Taki and his squad choose to fly all Japanese planes for the most part. I am sure they do it for some of the same reasons I do. For that reason, good or not, I would like to have an American Tank. I honestly think its a bit odd we do not already have one that can go head to head in the game with a panzer or at least stand a fighting chance against it.

Well I think if you get that thing the we should get the churchill, also the reason there isn't an allied tank to match the germans is because in real life they were so much better at making tanks than us!! On average it took four shermans to take out a tiger!

fw200.


make that a new goon.  our ship ack is to strong to even think of bring that to AH2.

[MOIL]

I think those tanks would make a great addition to AH2. It would be nice to see some American armor in there, along with the T34 tank.
Also being the ground pounders we are HTC needs to seriously think about adding LTAR's favorite, The Wirbelwind

Same way, reason, and place my grandfather died... Kind of an odd thing IMO.
