The hordie's weapon of choice for undefended towns.  Just way to easy.

eh, 95% of people need to drive them into town to make them useful. Not to mention they are easily shot off.

Make the town defended. Problem solved. No need to perk. You can shoot it off the tank with a C202.

Maybe, if they perk all the pesky aircraft rockets that track a tank in the first pass  :D

A C.202 can turret an M-18.  If the M-4 loses its rockets, it still has a ton of shells to kill the town.  What other GV has that blitzkrieg-fast, town smashing capability?

Yes, a wirble and load of vehicle supplies seems to be the town killer of choice for some.  It also has the advantage of defense against jabos.

Maybe there should be a short wait for vehicle supplies to take effect, as there is on the re-arm pad at airfields.

Hmm.  All I've seen are M-4s.  Wirbles have that much ammo?  Change thread title to "Wirbels need a perk".   :)

wirbs have been the traditional GVers town killer of choice. because it can take half town down and own Jabos.

M8s,  m3-75mm and m-18 are their counter


M4 with rockets is countered with air power or m-18

Im not mentioning medium or heavy tanks because i feel a proper counter needs to engage the town killer as quickly as possible. If buildings have a 50+min down time you really need to kill the wirb or m4 ASAP.

wirbles only have 3000rds of ammo and can burn thru it pretty fast esp if he has to shoot at planes M4 75 with all HE and rockets are the best for taking down towns besides bombing with lancs. and are sitting ducks for all other GV's

Would like to see GV supplies trigger a "reloading for 30 seconds" on a GV, just as it would be if you parked your plane at a re-arm pad.  Instant reloading / repair of GVs is kinda gamey.
