We don't need the M18 because we have something else, we need it because it's a good tank that will be used and it will bring more enjoyment to AH.

Bah.  The M18 isnt needed to counter the King Tiger.  The T34's produce enough speed and carry HVAP ammo well enough to cause panick to a King Tiger's crew.  Just get within 1000 yards on a flank, make sure the King Tiger is pouring rounds back down range at your dancing buddies, and poke an HVAP right through his temple.  No M18 needed.   



Do it quicker with M-18

True...

You're not going to blow anything other than a few enemy tanks up with the M18.  The main gun is second only to the M8 Greyhound for worst HE performer via AFV in AH (107 lbs of dmg, iirc).  It takes 3 shots of that 76mm HE to blow up typical OBJ (house, ammo bunker, fuel tank, barrack, radar, etc).

I like the idea of the M18, but I hope HTC is putting their manpower elsewhere such as remodeling the Panzer IV H, or adding the StuG III, Su-100, Panzer III J, or other such highly produced and note-worthy tank in WWII.   :)

You started this thread and it was obviously about your want and desire in spite of your use of 'we' and Google.

Except It's not a tank.

BAR, I don't know why you keep asking for this piece of junk, it can be killed with .50 cals, and no one wants it. This whole wish is nothing more than another attempt to vie for attention. You don't want the m-18, you want a "look at me! Look at me!" Thread. I am tired of it, and I think you should not be allowed to post about it anymore. The monotony of it all is overwhelming, and you are the perpetrator.

No one likes you :P :rolleyes:

I speak the truth. You are the biggest squeaker troll on these boards, and you know it. No one comes close to the garbage you put up here. Atleast what I'm asking for is a revision of what we currently have

We don't need anything new.
