Hmmmm... the more I think about the Churchill tank the more I think it could open a whole new realm in AH.

One of the Churchill AVRE versions, the one with the 290mm Petard mortar that was used to level buildings and blow apart bunkers might be fun to tinker with.   :D

man... i managed to kill my own halftrack 251 with one of its rockets... the 290mm Petard didn't have much range and had a massive explosive power... i feel like i'd do the same with that.... :bolt:



P.S. 251 rocket duels in TT are fun :x

That's a variant of the Churchill. Can't we just get one of those Shermans with a mounted 105mm cannon (M-7).

From the charts I've seen the 37mm M6 mounted on the M8 equalled or surpassed the 2 lbr's penetration.  "Firepower" would be about equal.

Well at least more armor.

I was doing this based on the Desert Campaign and the scenarios. What tank would you like to see?

Let me rephrase that. What British tank would you like to see? And also I used the Crusader Mk I to start, but I'm fine with other models too.

Well the churchill will be a nice addition. 6 saw the Battle at El Alamein. So we could use the Crusaders, Churchills (in limited numbers), Panzer IVs, Panzer IIIs, M3 Lee (got it right this time), and the M4 Sherman during its debut battle. Didn't early Panzers have an issue where they couldn't turn the turret so they had to expose their broadside to the enemy to shoot a guy on their flanks?

I'd probably use a Crusader in the MA as a tank.

Looked up the Cromwell saw service in small numbers on D-day. It was chiefly used for training.


Is that why in my World at War Book ( Basically a huge WW2 Book that breaks the war down into 5 acts) during Operation Cobra (2-3 months after D-Day+) there is a Picture showing a Brigade of Cromwell's in formation ready to Assault the German Lines? Saw much more service than just on D-Day.

As someone said earlier the EW doesn't have any tanks besides a T34. Maybe we could add the PanzerIII, M3 Lee, and Crusader.

If you want the Sherman 105 can you start a thread on it?

Well at least the M7 based on the Sherman's chassis or hull. Was I close?



Well the crusader lacks firepower but beats the M8 in armor. Also, the MG I mentioned the might be coaxial.
