Once I 'bounced' a GV mission of Tigers and M-3s when I was in an M-8.  They didn't see me until too late, and I took out about 3 GVs before something got me.  I was very surprised at how easy it was to kill the Tigers.

I was intrigued by the fact that it seemed to require more rounds to kill the M-3(s) than it did for the Tigers.  It might have been lag that caused a time delay between me shooting them and they dying...not sure though.

As for the M18, I say it would be great if HTC's willing.  Also, I think we should keep the M8.

Afk for a year or so.  The name of a gun turret in game.  Falanx, huh? :banana:

Get a CAP on a field and there will be gvs everywhere. That's when you get the M8 out and just floor it! Don't stop and drive straight through the base firing at anything you see. Always fun!

How about adding something non American instead - another Russian GV perhaps?  Su-100 or ISU 152 maybe?

The M18 would be a great addition as a tank destroyer as in not giving it the capability of killing buildings efficiently only AP rounds. I just saw the restoration of one on the military channel and it looks pretty mean, it was the fastest fully tracked vehicle of the war and it has the same 76mm main gun as the Firefly, It would be a great addition no question about it

The "Firefly" was a British modification to lend-lease Amercian M4 Shermans.  The main gun is actually a British 17 pounder AT gun that had to be laid on its side to fit in the turret.  The "Firefly" is strictly a British design with the exception of a few made under contract in Canada.  So technically it is British.  That and the code name Firefly has never been found in any military documentation, it's more or less just a soldiers nickname for the tank. 

Back to the thread topic don't get rid of the M8 and add all the new GV's possible.  I like variety.

Yes they are.

^ What he said.  Also the "Brit Tank" is just an American tank with a British Gun, so may as well be American.

Add to the fact that the last few aircraft added were American, most of the last updates were on American aircraft, all the CV's are American, the only spawnable boat in game is American...

I don't have a problem with American equipment, apart from trying to adress the imbalance and constant requesting of their equipment by Americans.  I can understand it and am probably quite hypocritical, as i generally request British equipment because that is what i know best, but understand the need to add representations from other countries. <S>

M8 will take out an M4s turret.  With 1 shot.  You do need to hit it square from the rear.  The problem with this is that it turns so quickly it's hard to get that shot.
