God I can't stand that stupid thing. Hit a panzer 10 times from about 100 yards. First shot does no damage (front of turret), second shot knocks out turret (front of turret). Third shot does no damage (shot at driver's vision slit), Panzer starts moving. Fourth shot and fifth shot do no damage (front side by driver, and rear side by engine). Sixth seventh, and eigth shots do no damage (rear). Ninth shot does no damage (front of the other side), tenth shot knocks out engine (rear of the other side). Panzer drifts behind a hill, P-51 comes and drops a pair of bombs somewhere within 1000 yards of me, I explode.

What a worthless POS... I still wonder why they wasted even one hour modelling that thing.

Would you like some Puma with your crow?

I only use them for what there good at, such as taking out half tracks. If I'm up against a PZR I only really go for a disabling shot rather than a kill, then move off rather than let him call an air strike on you.

Their main assest is speed so I try and make use of it best I can by hitting and running.

Not the best vehicle to be in at times but enjoyable at other times.

M8s are an LVT's worst nightmare ... fast on the scene ... fast on the firing line.

M8's are also fun to strafe ;-)

I remember, this one time, I was in an M8, and killed three panzers with only a few rounds, and then one of the dead came looking for me in an M16, only I was waiting for him, and I put 11 rounds right on the front, and his engine finally started smoking, and then he turned, shot, ping ping I dead.

Not sure if its the M8 or the game. Round 11 hit him at about 10ft away right before he drove right through me.
