the LVT-A4's "tiny cannon" does much more than you think. you need to learn how to use it correctly.



if we do get a LST i want one with the 1000+ rockets on it! :t
Please tell us how an LVT-A4 is supposed to be used in AH-styled Combat situations, All-Knowing Offline-user.

actaully there is a better lvt i dont know why we use the lvt 2 the lvt4(without the howitzer) has 2 50 cals 2 30 cals and armor and could carry jeeps...or in some cases it even had a 20mm



LVT-4 Water Buffalo was not able to carry a jeep and not all received armor kits, it was only on some of the British version of the Water Buffalo (Buffalo IV) that carried a 20mm cannon.

5th Paragraph down disagrees with you.


EDIT: 7th paragraph talks about the British "Sea serpent" variant having 2 flamethrowers in place of the usual guns. Interesting.

thats coming from the person who cant do his own research, where i did with the LVT-A4. i bet you didnt know that it can shoot out past icon range and kill about 60% of an uncontrolled city near a tank town with only 50 shots while being 5.1k away. i bet you didnt know you can 1 shot panzers with it. i bet you didnt know that it was used as inderect artillery in the real war.

Acually, i did know this. Half because of the link i posted above your post, and because i read the responses in your topic about the lvt being able to use as artillery. I was just laying out some bait for you to bite. Which you so easily did.


The fool has been hooked.  :D  :bolt:

ok so let me get this straight, you knew the LVT-A4 could 1 shot a panzer, shoot over 5.1k distance IN GAME and destroy 60% of a town IN GAME from a real life article? sure. you keep believing that.

Nope, smaller and if you compare you’ll see that LST has much more volume for cargo. LST = Landing ship tank LCT= Landing craft Tank. LCT(R) (which I have wished upon many times) is a LCT with a rocket launching deck modification with 1000 rockets on deck and 5000 below for reload,  said to have power equivalent to 80 light cruisers or 200 destroyers.

Are you aware that you won't ever get a one-hit kill on the Panzer IV when using direct fire? You need to hit the top of the tank IIRC.

Edit: Maybe the rear armor will give you a kill, I can't quite remember
You started this thread and it was obviously about your want and desire in spite of your use of 'we' and Google.

you can get a 1 hit kill in the sides/rear. the top of the tank isnt always the easiest option aswell.
