Yeah maybe if your loader was Superman.  100mm AP Shell is huge and heavy, and the cramped confines of a Assualt gun does not give you much space to work with.  You would have to have the shells out of the racks and lined up.  So maybe for the 1st minute under ideal conditions you could fire 4 rounds, I'd say more like 2 -3 rounds max.

I wouldn't rule it out. HTC's barely scratched the surface with GV's.

Asides from its tranny problems, I love to see this.
I regret doing business with TD Computer Systems.

It'd be really cool to see something like that walk to a target shrugging off hits all the way, and only die after trashing a good part of the opposition on its own..

Id have to go with Hetzer,M18 or Archer before I wanted the big boys Hetzer and m18 espically one that is small and has a decent gun and the second can hit 55mph with a good gun. Archer would be different, more as a base def. TD but we already have the dual role Firefly with the same gun so its somehwhat represented already.

Small like a Hetzer, or big like a SU-100, the turretless TD's would have advantages, and disadvanteges, that would make for funny gameplay. They would have a small, low silohuette (except for perhaps the Jagdtiger) which would make them hard targets, at a distance. The lack of a turret, however, would make them difficult to use in built-up areas' like TT city, or in a densely wooded area. Actually as far as gameplay, they would not be so uber as would first be suspected. As for the Turreted American TD's, they would have the advantage of a turret, but they would have thin armor, so they would have to rely on being quick on the draw, so to speak. TD's would contribute greatly to gameplay, IMHO.

Even though I am not a gv'er at all, I'd like to see some additions to the GV set. This is because I am not a gv'er because of lack of variation.
Even if it seems certain that you will lose, retaliate. Neither wisdom nor technique has a place in this. A real man does not think of victory or defeat. He plunges recklessly towards an irrational death. By doing this, you will awaken from your dreams.

One round every 10 - 12 seconds?  I love it!  Better than the gatling-gun tanks we have now, heh...what is the Firefly?  One round every 4 sec or so?  Anyone time it yet?

Man, I wanna see the Is-2 (Js-2) in some simulator. Not even AHII. I wanna see what it can do. Or see a thing on the Military Channel about it hopefully.
