[skorpion]

Meh.  It doesn't have wings, ya can't fly it, pffffffft.

you could easily fly any tank, just drive it off of a very steep mountain at max speed

Another thing I noted: HTC are going to change the name of the software again, this time too "Tank Ace".

youre incorrect on the cannon difference. both are the 76.2mm M1A1 cannon. Neither the M-18 nor the M4/76mm use the older M-10's M7 3" (76.2mm) cannon. (these are the only two 76mm cannons used by the US in WWII). The only difference between the M7 and M1A1 is that the M1A1 was lighter. All its actions and ammunition are equivalent in firepower and accuracy <S>

Reload rate was based on space to move fast and the crew itself. seeing as how we do not model tank crews' veterancy in AH i have a feeling the open turret will allow a faster paced reload but that is speculation.

Good call on the 76mm/3in cannon issue.  Prior to double checking a printed source I thought the M10 and M4/76 shared the same cannon.  Regardless, same ammo and same ammo performance.  Only the reload time is in question.  I would like to think the M18 would have a slight reload rate advantage, but who knows.

I'm not sure if its even perk worthy. I was expecting the M3/75 to recieve an ENY drop to at least 35 (what the LVTA4 is). It seems HTC doesn't put much stock in speed being the equal of armor in terms of surviabilty.

M4/75 is a 35 ENY tank...

[M0nkey_Man]

M4/75 is a 35 ENY tank...

hes talking about the M3 with with the 75mm

[skorpion]

hes talking about the M3 with with the 75mm

oh, looked like he typed M4/75.

but why would the M3 get a eny drop? its killed by a pintle gun and its turret FOV sucks, also, not to mention  the gun can hardly penetrate a panzers front armor at 1k.

Same holds true for the LVTA4. M8 can't punch through anything but the turret at anything past about 200yds or so. Every other cannon-armed vehicle has an ENY of 35 at most (again, even the LVTA4, which is almost impossible to kill a tank with). So when the M3 gets a cannon, why is it unreasonable to expect them to follow the same pattern?

No reason the should. I haven't had any trouble killing M3/75's, in fact a bit easier than LVTA4's at first impression.

I bet there will be a small perk price on them simply because otherwise they will be used to consistently in the kamikaze mode and they will be very good at it too

been rethinking the perk (pyro when i PM'd him had said there will be a perk if the GV added and that was 5 months ago) but now im thinking 2-4 perks. you gotta think, the armor of the M4/76 is iffy at times also... include the 60mph top end and well... it's deadly

[321BAR]

if its that cheap it will certainly be a perk farmer, I was guessing around 10 perks due to the speed.

maybe.. but we wont know till its added <S> all i know is i cant wait to duke it out with you on the fields with my new playtoy

Actually, the rate of fire is a bit slower than the M-4. While the turret is open-topped, it is smaller. There is less space between the gun's breech and the rear of the turret.


wrongway

quite possibly. but at the same time there is also less ammunition than the M4s which = more space to compensate for the small turret room but hey again who knows till they add it right?

Well I don't feel the need to over analyze this new cartoon tank. I would say maybe 1-3 perk like the m4.

I'll fly air cover in the Yak-3 they are no doubt adding right now as we speak....PLEEEEEEEEZZZZ HTC?

[Nathan60]

I heard it was a with some rails added on to throw  you guys  off the scent.

[Tank-Ace]

I'd be pissed.
