new cv rides and drives
« on: December 01, 2010, 11:41:58 AM »
does anyone think we need any new cv drives and rides? i think it would help to have say, the sea  hurricane or seafire mk3...maybe the dukw or Schwimmwagen maybe even the japanese amphib tank???? just a thought,and yeah i know this would not be historically accurate for some to be on a cv group...but this is not history. its a game
 and one more question....when i was a kid  i think we called the lvt the  amtrak...or was that something else im thinking of??

This game is historically accurate.  Provide some information on what your talking about

Ill help him out, During the D-Day invasion, the US use a "inflated" M4, they essentially put a giant life preserver around it and they attached a propeller to the tank itself. They would drive it to land disenflate the preserver and so on they went. This was the only known division to have this. (Huberts Funnies) It isnt exactly the kind of M4 we have, it was known as the Sherman Crab. They had a giant rake on the front of the tank to spun to clear any mines, BUT it did have a normal sized gun and occasionally a flame thrower. Here's a website for an example: http://www.d-daytanks.org.uk/info/funnies.html

Speaking of the Crab, ima put a wish on the boards (;

Not exactly what i was getting at, I was just saying of a tank that i knew of that served as an amphibious attack tank.
