YES!!! Bring the M3!!! Please! Or was it the Grant? Great post, I totally agree with the author!  :banana:

Cheers!
M3 Grant was the light tank. Lee was the 2 gun tank as big as the M4. but the 75mm was in a side mount and a smaller gun was on top

actually the Grant was a modded version of the Lee for the British. But they both had
the 37mm in the top turret and the lo vel 75mm in the lower hull.

M3A1 half track an entirely different vehicle than the M3 Lee Medium Tank

M3A1 75 mm GMC (the one you were referring to)

Like the M3 Lee, the M3 Grant was also a medium tank, not a light tank.

Did gamers ask for the 75mm Sherman?

point taken..i was just labouring under the idea of 'customer is always right'

     Actually the M4A3 was requested for years, not sure what rock you were hiding under.

     It's the height of arrogance to assume that YOUR opinion is the only customer one.

I would like to correct the use of a commonly used phrase.

"The customer is always right".

Now, this phrase pertains to choices a customer may make.  For example.  If you walk into any upper scale clothing store, the choice of your purchase is based on your opinion and because all the clothing is high quality, there is no wrong decision.  Thus, this makes "the customer always right".  Bottomline is when the customer is in a position of making a choice and that choice will never be a bad one, "the customer is always right".

Conversely, if you walk into that fine retail establishment and tell them how to run their business and complain about the clothing they carry, there is a good chance they will ask you to leave.  In this case, "the customer is a nuisance".

My point being, if you are going to use the above phrase, please use it in the context it was meant to be used.


Modeling something does not slow down the efforts to correct any potential issues in the game.  Modeling and coding are two separate processes.  They do cross paths, but for the most part they are autonomous processes, once everyone is on board with how things are done.

because there are many more anomalys in the game that should be adressed b4 delving into
newer (to us) GVs or AC...

it is akin to introducing 'eye candy' that are only good to those with hi end vid cards/computors.

The HTC "artists" do not fix "coad" ... so while HT addresses the coading, what would he have his artists and Pyro do ? He is not going to pay them to sit around and do nothing until he addresses the so-called "anomaly" ridden in the coad ... :lol

pretty sure you got to be member of the squad forum to see that mac.

to explain the ... ahem ... hijack, we have an ongoing squad EW Challenge, best run in a EW fighter in LW. great fun if you (literally) want a change of pace. been going for a coupla years and noone has bothered upping a A6M2 yet. just 2 kills to get on the board but still noone wants to up that crate :lol
