GV PERSPECTIVE

[greystar]

AH bowed to presure from fighter jocks to slow the turret on the wirble ,,, why
there was nothin wrong with it ,it gave gvs a chance against the dumb idiots that drop bombs on gvs that land 50 yards away and kills an armourd gv when it shouldnt .

put the wirble back as it was  , pls

while im here ,,,when are we going to get the proper armour value on the gvs ,
ie .M4 is a light tank with upgraded arour .2 shots from panzr should kill it .why does it take more hits than a tiger ?? if AH  leaves it that way then it should cost more perks to drive .
also would like to ask for more gvs in game ,,theres more gv players now than before
so can we have more gvs ? .pnzr mk5 panther ,king tiger, or even any kind of tank from that period ,theres a lot there ,even the jeep had a gun that could take out a tank ?
any ways ,,thats it ive had my twopenny worth ..
some wont agree  some will ,,,,,,,lets see if anyone reads this from  AH ,,,
could be  interesting ,,,,,

to the best of my understanding, the turrets were much faster in here, than they were in rl.

the m4 is the firefly. it was upgraded by the british, and i think thicker armor was part of that upgrade.

The Wirble and Osti turrets were faster than they were in real life, the traverse speed was reduced to what it should have been.

ok if wirble was slowed down to rl ,,can understand ,,,
but the m4 still takeas more hits than it should ,,i can kill a tiger in three hits  m4 takes more damage ,,its just wrong

it's the upgraded british version

[greystar]

ok its the british version ,,,its still got less armour than a tiger tank ,,,,,
it has a bigger gun than an american m4 , better armour too ,,,but no way could it stand against a tiger  in armour value ,,its wrong ,,,,,,

actually, i believe it could. and didn't you say panzer in the first post?

 also, you need to remember. sloped armor, will deflect the rounds. it makes it "appear" thicker to the rounds. take into consideration the distance you're hitting at, if or not, you're using the right rounds, etc.

 

 as for aircraft bombing.....when i'm in a gv, it annoys me too.....but i work around it. i try to kill the aircraft, then go about my business.

2 shots from panzr should kill it .

If you know were to aim you won't have to worry about it!

[Saurdaukar]

Whats a "GV?"

[whels]

The M4 we have has only upgraded gun, it has the same thin armor as the
regular Sherman.

Umm . . . the M4 in game doesn't hold a candle to the Tiger in armor value.

I've seen a lot of whining about the M4s armor since it came out, and yet my experience in the game is that they are no harder to kill than a panzer with hits anywhere but the front of the turret.  I think this is where most AH GVers get messed up.  The front mantlet is the weak spot on the panzer, but is the strongest spot on the M4.


By the way, the OP says the M4 is a light tank?   The M4 is a medium by WWII standards.

[jolly22]

I still say, if you know where to hit a tank........ You won't have to worry about it,,,,,,,, End of discussion.

[jolly22]

3 hits in the side panel to a tiger from an M8 can kill it.... I've done it

[Tilt]

IMO more uber (Panther/kingtiger) tanks when the IL2m3 gets 2.5-1.5 PTAB's.............

The WWs were Death Stars as they were, "and I enjoyed them as much as anyone". But still, out of respect to historical fairness, their turrets had to be slowed down.

I dont even think it affected them much. You have to have more SA now but they are still extremely effective.
