Heh heh...I see Lock 'n Load on the History Channel has already had an effect...

Wouldn't mind seeing this vehicle, however, I am going to tell you, three factors will limit its effectiveness in AHII more than in R/L. One is the fact that GVs sitting still are so darn near invisible with the zooms available from the "tank commander's" viewpoint, and two, the fact that said nigh-invisible parked vehicles will be able to fire accurately at the thin-skinned M18 from up to 3K away and be able to land hits however fast it be moving. A third and final factor limiting effectiveness will be how well some players will be able to track the M18, be it ever so fast, by the switching off their engines and using the auditory "radar" exploit.

"Crikey, sir. I'm looking forward to today. Up diddly up, down diddly down, whoops, poop, twiddly dee - decent scrap with the fiendish Red Baron - bit of a jolly old crash landing behind enemy lines - capture, torture, escape, and then back home in time for tea and medals."
