We don't really need these types right now as we got the Tiger and Firefly. Would like to see assault gunslike the Stug. Or tank destroyes like M10 and Hetzer.

M18 would be way more fun then the M10.

It was way faster.

Is there any interest in fixing the ground based physics as opposed to adding new vehicles?

Which one? The one behind the pic of the StugIII is a Panther. The other one that has been hit in the front is a Jagdtiger. It was hit twice in the frontal armor by a 76mm firing AP rounds and no penetration. :O

I personally wouldn't mind seeing the Jadgpanzer. It has the gun capable of killing the tiger, L/70 75mm where as the stug doesn't. It also has a very low profile and I believe a gun that traverses side to side better than the stug plus better armor protection.

indeed a 76mm couldnt do much against 250mm on the front superstructure. guessing the range was past 1.0-1.5k and the 12.8cm would pack a huge punch to anything we have in game, limited rounds though think it could only carry around 35-40 rounds... that and think bombing a tiger is hard imagine that behemoth rolling around.

artillery would be cool too for base defense, have a couple guns, 2 or 3 guys, shooting tanks, that would be sweet, or even for the AvA for German bases have the 88mm.

Frontal upper hull armor was 150 mm, frontal lower hull armor was 100 mm, only the superstructure front had 250 mm armor. The lower hull hit may have been a penetrating one but it's not really clearly visible.

SU-100 had 100mm gun that could fire 4-6 rounds per min
perk it higher than tiger
hows it sound guys?

That is one very good reason to never get caught below 5,000 feet... :noid

Afk for a year or so.  The name of a gun turret in game.  Falanx, huh? :banana:
Apparently I'm in the 20th FG 'Loco Busters', or so the legend goes.

No the lower hit did not penetrate. It is quite deeper than the upper hit though. I used to have a pic of this at a slightly different angle that didn't have the shadow in the lower hit but have lost it.
