So, if HTC decides to put the M18 in the game, and they do decide to perk it, who agrees with me it should be unperked for the first week or so so all the gv'ers can play with it before the real business begins?  :pray :pray

TD units were allocated HVAP ammo. This stuff was extremely effective against the Mk.V Panther. I read one report where an HVAP penetrated the front hull of a Panther at 1,200 yards and the spent round was found in the engine compartment. Sherman units would barter with TD outfits to trade for a few HVAP rounds, just in case they ran into a Panther or Tiger. HVAP ammo put the M1A1 76mm just about on par with the Panther's long 75mm.

M-18 Hellkat would be a great addition to the game.  It would totally change tactics
and make spawn camping a bit more dangerous.

Special events don't have to use the sherman or M8 for the hellcat anymore! This tank destroyer needs to be added! :rock
