But they saw combat!

ya lol, but the order is

 M-18 hellcat
 King Tiger
 Panther
 dukw
 t-70
 the supply truck, 2.5 tonne
 KV-1
nope. The order of importance is as follows:

M-18
Panther (5 ENY along with the tiger, for the weaker side armor, as opposed to moving the tiger to a 10 ENY)
Hetzer
DUKW
KV-1
T-70 (do we really need a MW/LW light tank? The panzer III ausf J would be better, minus the speed increase)
Koinstiger (Tiger I's ENY is at 5, so what the hell will this be? Compared to this, the Tiger I would be a 15 ENY Also, you'll need a Tiger I, Firefly, or another Koinstiger to kill it from the front.
everybody wants my M-18 FIRST!!! WOOPWOOPWOOP! :x

     I just noticed that 321 BAR is a P-400 driver, of sorts :)

DEECONX, it was an absent minded mistake. I was just correcting 100goon's list, I wasn't saying that we don't need (well its more of a 'want', but still) the churchill.


And goon, are you really saying you would rather drive an M8 in the EW arena, rather than the churchill or the KV-1? They are the EW tigers.

The Churchill (any of the early variants) could hardly be considered an "EW Tiger".  It just didn't have the firepower and unlike the KV-1, wasn't impervious to any tank mounted weapon then in service.

I thought the Mk III was made in '41. Either way, it would still be dificult to kill. Wouldn't hit very hard, but you wouldn't really be able to hang back at 3200yds and kill it either.

Nope, the Mk III was introduced in March of '42 and first saw action in the Second Battle of El Alamein in October of that year.

Weren't most of the ones that were able to actually land destroyed by anti-tank guns?

     Not sure, I only ever see pictures of them abandoned on the beach....sigh.  I guess it's time to
"do the research"  :D

     Apparently 27 of 29 made it off the LCA...then were mobility killed on the beach.
