I never said that. But some of the time, you'll do infinitly better with a nashorn than an M-18 because of the one-shot capabilty. Sometimes, thats all you have time for, and you certinaly can't do much worse with a Nashorn than with a hellcat.

Which one first? Both would be entirely new vehicles, and HTC  isn't in the habit of giving us two big additions at the same time.

pretty sure a turret on a chassis with similar armor thickness would be better than spawning in and being forced to slowly pivot the vehicle towards the spawn camper to kill them giving the enemy time to fire multiple rounds to your head :aok



hey jager also gimme shades for the last seven years because your earliest shade that i know of pops up only at LW tour 118 and that was only one GV sortie and this was in November 2009 and i show you as truly starting in December 2009 :aok while looking at your stats too... seems the average stats for a new player...

I'm not a newb BAR, I know the basics of armor combat. I ought to after going on 7 years with Aces High.
also tour 106 was in November 2008 nemisis That isn't 7 years ago. :rofl

you lie jager and i'll call you out on it. i hate liars espacially poorly constructed ones when your sig shows what tour you started in

The nashron was actually highly manuverable. Depending on the spawn, you can easily just traverse the gun and pop a camper in the faces before you die.


B-17's is the earliest I remember, was some time back in 06 or 07, maybe very late '05. I was a numbers guy before that. I was a numbers guy before that, as at 9, you're not always the most intelegent. I believe I was tick-tock sometime after that, but I may be thinking of something else.

Why not give the Ruskies some love?

SU-100.  It looks cool too.

Quote
The SU-100 quickly proved itself to be among the best self-propelled anti-tank guns of World War II, able to penetrate 125 mm (4.9 in) of vertical armor from a range of 2,000 m (1.2 mi) and the sloped 85 mm (3.3 in) front armor of the German Panther from 1,500 m (0.93 mi).[citation needed] This was quite capable of defeating any German tank in service with the exception of the King Tiger, for which Soviet soldiers gave it the obscene nickname "Pizdets vsemu" ("uplifting end to anything").[1]

I would hope they finish out Late War before adding anything else,with only a few dozen in EW + MW vs few hundred in LW I would hate to see a Hanger queen in the LWA.

For ground vehicles, which this thread is about, we're pretty well covered. Really the only major additions we're missing are the IS-2, the Jagdpanther, the (dare I say it?) M18, and MAYBE the M36 Slugger.

While we have but a single EW tank. We could do with an M3 stuart, Panzer III E, Panzer III J2, Crusader, Matilda, the BT-7, maybe the Pz 38(t), etc.

i remember B-17's but the irony either way is that in your signature you are still a liar. thank you for changing it afterward but tour 106 was still in 2008 when you "started" so please tell me im not intelligent when i call you out on a lie again. ill leave it at that. :aok

The M18 would be cannon fodder as soon as it stops to fire.  I bet HE would be able to bring it down.

It would simply be an up-gunned M8.  It would be nice to have an actual "shoot-n-scoot" AFV, but in AH it would have a very narrow band of opportunity to perform.  Alone or in small groups it would be near-worthless, imo.  It'd have to be supported by tanks, it'd need wide open spaces to use its speed to obtain a flanking position, and it would have to be under friendly skies.

I say the Su-100 first.  That is just me.   :)

I'd be happy with anything that could kill that darn King Tiger thingy, im still hoping for the Jeep with the 75mm Recoilless  :pray but i doubt that would happen, "Poor Little Feller, Ya art not do that to him" :salute to anyone brave enough to drive a jeep in the middle of a spawn war.  :cry

If the spawn is insanely camped, I love upping a jeep to drive around.  It's funny to see all the tanks trying to draw a bead on 1 little jeep flying around blasting away with a .50 Cal.  I happened to track a Panther last tour because he didn't think the little bugger sitting behind him plinking away was any threat.  Saw the track fall off, and drove away laughing.  Great fun!
