Author Topic: GV Help? (Read 465 times)

Anyone know of a site that has help files for GV related stuff? I know there are a lot for aircraft, but don't know of any for GV's. I'm looking for hints, helps, etc. Stuff like how to estimate range of vehicles, trajectories, etc.
Every time I try to take a tank, i feel like a complete moron 'cuz I have no way to estimate range. Also, it appears like the enemy gv's are just black dots in the distance - is there some setting I'm supposed to use to see them better?
I'd like to learn to operate in tanks as well as planes, but could use all the helps, hints, tricks, that you know of.
Thanks for your help!

Thanks Hammer - these were just what I was looking for! Now, if I could find something explaining the use of shore batteries and big guns on ships......

Good write up Hammer. The only change you might consider is the info on the LVTA4. Our squad has found that in AHII the LVTA4 is very effective against town buildings. Two hits and the building is down. Although that's the same as a Panzer, the rate of fire with the LVTA4's 75 mm is much faster, and it carries 100 rds of HE. It can take down 50 buildings in record time.

I haven't timed the difference yet, but I'm sure a LVT4A can take down buildings faster than an Osty too.

It might be interesting to time and list how fast the Tiger, Panzer, Osty, T-34, and LVTA4 can take down 10 town buildings. I'll run the test and send you the results.

Two x LVTA4's and on one LVTA2 can take down and capture a town in just a few minutes. Much faster than 2 Panzers and a M-3 can do the same job. The LVTA2 has better armor than an M-3, has two machine guns to help with the town take down. The lack of speed is not so much an issue as the M-3 can't get too far in front of the slower Panzers anyway.

Of course if the enemy has a Panzer at the town, it's all for naught....

Good info mosq. I've been in an LVT maybe once so I basically went on what I remember from AH1 (only been back in country a couple of months now!). I'll update on the LVTs and look forward to seeing your test results.

I was wrong. The LVTA4 has the same rate of fire as a Panzer, and the Osty is still the fastest way to take down a town. Hammer, I'll send you a quick table for your site.
