turretless vehicles have the same vulnerability as tanks, you just have to turn the entire vehicle instead of just the turret. this is sometimes beneficial, because your strongest armor is always pointed at the enemy.

I like the idea of a tank that requires escort. It would be great to have some field artillery as well.

Still disagree about overkill. Guess we should stop people from using 500Kg bombs against M3's.

It would be an effective one shot kill weapon against tigers

Raynolds, Iv seen Tigers languish wither and "just fade away", waiting for assistance. Don’t count on it. All it will be, is a good way for people to get easy parks. I can already see the jeeps lining up to vulch it.
I forgot how long it takes Ele, and the JagdT to get moving. They are from 0 to 15 in fifteen to twenty sec, Not really good off the starting blocks. They would be Vulch fodder. For the points it would cost, it’s not worth it. Especially since air units can see you even if you are in a house or barn and they are at 8g and looking in to the sun.

I wouldnt expect an escort in one, but it would give me someone to escort. I enjoy being the support unit saving others arses.

LOL 500Kg thats all??? The other day I was in the EWA and in a TBM. Only had 1 2000Lb bomb loaded for killing a CV but I saw an M3 running for our base. So I had an option, straif with 2 50 cals or welllll I think you understand what option #2 was

If the Jagd series gets done, then the Russian SU series should be as well.

Esp. the SU-100, it could penetrate the FRONT of a Tiger at 2000m.

I'll be happy with the SU-85, tho.

Bring the StuG-III!!! and for EWA Pzr-III, M-3 Lee/Grant.

Why? They didn’t give us any Japanese Tanks, or French, or how about Italian. For that matter the Sherman seen more of the war then Any other model of tank in the whole conflict but its not there. So what makes them so special? Id rather see Katyusha rockets then those.

M3 Grant would get eaten alive by any compitent tank gunner.

RJR that SMIDSY

SMIDSY · « **Reply #26 on:** September 27, 2006, 04:21:57 PM »

oh, missed your post too. please god do not give us japanese tanks. the Ha-Go's armor could be penetrated by a BAR loaded with AP ammo. and italian tanks were underpowered, under gunned and under armored.

derkojote23 · « **Reply #27 on:** September 29, 2006, 01:17:39 PM »

How about a Wirbelwind. Its got thoes 20mm every one knows and loves.

You know, Smidsy, you keep acting as if we have the old MA. With the split arenas, any of the tanks mentioned would be viable.

SMIDSY · « **Reply #29 on:** September 29, 2006, 04:59:16 PM »

im just saying, that the second these sub-standard tanks are implemented you will hear a flurry of "WTF!?! why we get these crappy tanks". i seen it happen in other games and it will happen again here.
