Late war armor
« on: September 24, 2006, 06:13:14 PM »
Now I know its bloody unlikely, But since you ask and I want, here are some Id love to see.
Matilda; Was a sweet British tank that could give a PZR4 a good run

Stug III; Mid to late war, a good sterdy lil tank killer

King Tiger; Would have to be a 90+ perk tank But would be fun

Churchill; a perk tank, not as expensive as the tiger 1 thoe

M26 Pershing; Perk tank thoe not as expensive as the Tiger

Hummel or nashorn; We need Arty in the game and thies or the M7 are good ones to use.

Sherman; thoe not the best make it low EMY and no cost and it can swarm as thay had to any way. Or the super Sherman as a rivle to the Panzer.

I would say not to perk the M26.

1: its shoots low velocity rounds

2: Very little front armour

Give the sherman a high ENY.

1. not much armour

2 low volocity rounds(gotta get to 800 or so to penetrate)

What are you smoking?

M-26 Pershing.  High velocity 90mm gun with HVAP rounds.  IIRC, 4 inches frontal armor (twice that of Sherman).

You must be confused with another tank, buddy.

So the M26 not as good? I don’t know, not much record of T 1 or T 2 running in to one for a comparison. I did fiend a book that may settle this. Its title is Tigers in the mud. A Tiger commander authors it and he may have run in to one. Id love to fiend any reference to any duel they had.
 O and as for the Sherman O Ya Vary high ENY, that was a typ-o I ment high not low. Thanks for the corection 68.

Last I was in the LWA the Tiger I cost 114... and we were the low side. 90 for a king is retarded!

Yes, and Iv seen it for more, thats why I sed 90+. Iv seen a tiger for 30, so KT would start at 90, and that would plase its other end around 135 or so.

instead of the KT, we should have the Elephant. it has better armor and a slightly better gun, the tradeoff is that it has no turret. however, i see this as a good thing, because it will prevent some fella who has saved up perkies from completely dominating the battlefield.

How about a Jagdtiger or a Jagdpanther.  Both would be formidible tank destroyers, and very effective against towns, and hangars.

Jagdtiger's gun would be overkill in AH. i have heard stories of a shell from one going through 3 shermans that were lined up just right.

No such thing as overkill in this game.

Iv seen the effect of a JagdTigers main gun on an M1a1, It took the turret off so Yaw Id say it would be over kill. But the ela was way slow and its turning as well was slow, add in no turret and it would be to easy to kill. No the KT was the cut above the rest. It was slow but it had the ability to turn its turret fast enough to stave off attacks. Since its not common practice for others to set up around a Tiger in proper defensive cover I doubt that the Ele would receive any better help. But SMIDSY I do agree Ele was a Munster but the Hunting tiger would be better as an alternative still.

Not a vid  SMIDSY, although I’m sure they filmed it. I was in Germany for summer games some years ago, while in the USMC. We watched them do a live fire test on a T72 a Leopard and an Abrams. That flipping gun is some potent sh--. If aimed at the right pleases its as effective today as it was then. Well now the M1A2 has a grooved hull and is not vulnerable in the same plase, but I doubt you will fiend any Vid of it for at least 20 years.
 Well I suppose you might try looking though, you know how things get out. I wouldn’t be surprised if you can fiend some footage.
 Any way Yes the Jag is overkill BIGTIME. But the JagdTiger that wasn’t so bad but same trouble No turret to slow easy kill with out escort.
