Tank destroyers

[theNewB]

Archer would be a neat base defender..attacker might aswell drive in reverse lol.

Not sure why so many want the M10 in game. Its big, thin turret armour (303s or hell even a .45 from a chute floating down from above it could hurt it) Id have to vote (if HT did that again) for a closed top TD, and not a lot of US TDs were closed tops, then again they wernt the ones without air supremacy and lacked the close combat experiance the germans had to face with the russians with their early open top designs. Offtopic i wouldnt mind seeing a canadian build Ram tank in game one day (even though numbers were low and the hull was used as an APC later on) Either way though id like to see some TDs in one day.

then what would you do? drive it?

Well, yes, I have 2 PC at home and with a friend we had lots of fun being each other gunner

Archer would definately be a poece of work to deploy....hmmm backwards are you sure it isnt french?

Check this french tank....not something to drive backward with



It had a 90mm and a 47mm, with 4x7.5mm....in 1940

Bah - looks like heavy and very slow.

It is, 150 tons and 24km/h. It never went into production thougt.

The french had the char B(1939-40) a 47 mm in top turret and a 75 mm howitzer in side sponson, gave the poor german panzer I and II s a tough go, but really to unwieldy and slow.  The above tank looks like a huge copy of a russian monster, first glance i thought it was that russian machine, I believe it was t 100, had like 1 76 mm guns and 2 45 mm in varouis front and rear turrets.  I still believe the su-85 would be a good start and to see if the design itself would be adequately made for play.  30 degree gun movement and also commander and seperate gun sights.  I belive it was close toped and had very good mobility based on a t34/76 chassis with a 85mm gun.  It also had a tank commander mg and a spontoon mg.

im all in for a TD such as the jagdpanther

[Rambo Fan]

OK IM not a platinum or gold or silver member, but here goes, we need tank destroyers in this game.  The russians and germans really had alot of variety and actually specialized in this field.  A SU85 would probably be the best all around(since we do not have a t 34/85) in this game at present time.  A su 100 or 122 would be a perk vehicle and would make the firefly obsolete.  Also a jagdpanther or (heaven forbid) jagdtiger would make it the gv of choice and also perk.  So we have the cz 38, a 75mm open turret vehicle, or is my memory wrong and too lazy to look it up a 75 mm panzer III?  (jagdpanzer?)  Opinions welcome but usually not tolerated(S)

No offense to burst your bubble, isn't this thread suppose to be in the Wishlist? It sounds like a request for another tank. Should post it on Wishlist, im sure someone might agree.

Towable artillery..

You would be hard pressed to define the hull mounted howitzer as mounted in a "side sponson".  It had no side-to-side traverse at all, and most definitely stuck out the front of the tank.  Please see the picture of the char B1 here or here and contrast with a true "sponson mount" on the M3 Lee here or the M3 "Grant" version here.

Towable artillery..

yes, yes and ... yes

[LTARstud]

Not sure we need another tank killer as the only perked tank we have ( the Tiger dies with one hit ) from the non perked tank the firefly and also the M-4.  <S>

[DPQ5]

We need the M10C Achiles(same gun a firefly)

[WPalka]

I would go with a SU-100, SU-85s would be cool too though... (Bleh its a crime that theres no T-34/85s...)

SU-152s would be awesome too, talk about town killers!

M-18s would be nice to have, great speed on those things

Stugs would be nice, though maybe something with a better gun like a Jpz-IV which has the same main gun as a Panther.

Jagdtigers would be vicious!

Hetzers would be fun to have! They're so cute

Opened topped TDs would be fun to have too, like Marders, and Nashorns.

And a Japanese 150mm armed Horo just for the heck of it!

[BigPlay]

The Stug makes the most sence. The lesser versions could be used in EW as well .The above mentioned TD's would only be in LW which to me seems like a lot of effort for one arena.  Just my thought.
