Arlo there are no "issues", like you, I'm just having a bit of fun. There was no antagonistic intent. I am sorry if it came off that way.Thought you'd have recognized that.
Ahh well carry on.

Well, to serve purpose, we could talk about Shermie and T34 variants we still want modeled. Hint hint.

Nice deflection attempt. You punted a 3 year old thread. Yay you!

Holy crap, Mashie. If I'd known all it took to knot your panties was to punt this old thread I'd done it long ago just for kicks.

What's with the negative vibes? Woof!

(shakes head)

Just glad to see the addition. I campaigned for it for a long time. Looking forward to giving it a try someday.

I was very happy to see that HVAP rounds were added to the T-34. Barring the T-34-85, those were the best possible solution to the T-34 being useless.

I am puzzled at the choice of the Firefly instead of the 'vanilla' Sherman, unless they looked at what happened to the T-34 and decided it wouldn't see any use with the 75mm.

My thoughts, exactly. It's a balance issue. Create the variant with the closest equal bang to the Panzer. They still have room to whip out the vanilla variant if it's asked for by enough players (dunno if that'll ever happen).

What do you think of a "Battle of the Bulge" ground scenario featuring the Firefly variant? Think that'd float?

Would you relax?

That would seem to make sense Arlo, but the Firefly appears to be closer to the Tiger than the Panzer in terms of performance.

I'd have to look up the 75mm guns specs, but I do think that nobody would have used it if it were modeled with the 75mm, simply because of the Tiger. That is exactly what happened to the T-34 - it was almost literally impossible to kill a Tiger in a T-34 no matter what the circumstances were, so just the possibility of running into a Tiger kept the T-34 in the hangar.
