I was so disappointed last night when Bar321 killed me four times while I was in an M-18.

He was in a Tiger 2.

you missed the beginning of that fight huh? :) I ran a mission to start a battle for that base where we had 4 TigerIIs 3 TigerIs 6 M18s and a mix of armor. If im leading a mission im not gonna be in a lightweight GV like the Hellcat :rofl


If you notice in my stats as of today i have 26 kills in the M18 with a total of 62 kills overall :ahand 10 being in that tigerII that night :aok another 6 in the 51B and 11 in the 51D :rofl ive been in my new toy more than my old favorite toys :noid

If your gonna fail, do it in such a way that people will be wondering how you managed to do that.

If it cant be fixed with duct tape, it cant be fixed at all.

Oh no. I was there at the beginning. That's what kept making me chuckle. I kept getting, "You have been killed by BAR321" but I could never see what I assumed was the M-18 getting the kill. All I saw was the Tigers. All the Tigers. The M-18s went blowing by and I only saw one after that.

So this was just a cleverly designed campaign for more targets? Are you getting on the PBY band waggon next?

I cannot get the M18 to go over 14mph..  I know something's wrong but I haven't a clue what.   Its like its stuck in 1st gear.

     If you have a "twisty" stick, wiggle it or adjust the deadband.  If you use pedals...same thing.  Happens to me all the time. This can be fixed by setting up a separate GV profile, which...I am too lazy to do ;)
