I'm not a gv person but I think u can check in the hangars what MM each one has. I think AP rounds are better for gv penetration. I can be wrong tho.

[Kanth]

Yep, I'm not yet a ground vehicle person either that's why I was hoping someone could help me out.  I know we have folks who know all about these things.

To add, the SDk is best used if your trying to get troops into a town and your aircover is not great. It IS slower than the M3 (what most people use) but, has proven to be a stronger transport, so one strafe run from an aircraft might not kill you.

Regarding the opening post of this thread:

Kanth made this thread to get information for the Vehicles section of the "New Aces High Trainer's Website" that She is volunteering her time to help the AH Training corps get completed, hopefully in time for the launching of the new Aces High version that is coming soon....

So if any of you proficient GV'ers feel like writing up some tips (does and don'ts), etc to submit to be used on the new website, Kanth is helping us with...it would be much appreciated

Submit the GV write up to Kanth or FLS, for review and your work might just be used in helping the AHTC and Kanth in getting the new website completed in time for the launching of the new version of the game...

We normally would not have to be asking for volunteers, but the AHTC lost the only Trainers ever chosen strictly for GV training duties both this year....Whels and WWhiskey, may they rest in peace!

Thank you for any help, anyone can offer....it will be much appreciated from all the AHTC!

Sincerely,

FLS and all the AH training corps (and DmdKanth)

Hope this helps.  It's compiled from a project I started several years ago but never finished

Thank you.

We'd also like to include a description of what each vehicle does well in the game and what it doesn't do well.
The sort of tips you'd give a new player when describing the vehicles. 

If anyone would like to share what they know it would be helpful. You don't have to do the whole list.
