Looks fun, is the gun on the M18 modeled accurately ?

Yes, it's the same gun the M4-76 has, it has AP ONLY so... Anyhow, I was just wondering what eight .50 cals do to an M-18, mind demonstrating for me Oakranger?

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?

It pretty much needs one good pass to make it go boom with 8 50cals.  :devil Landed 5 GV kills 2 days ago in a P47M just with strafing runs, most of them M18s. Their lone coax .50 is useless.
