No kidding, I think I will only drive M8 this tour Its High ENY and frankly the enemy isn't sure what to do - especially if you have a gunner (though scoring sucks in this regard).

Three of my deaths in M8 were with a gunner but we killed 3 to 4 GVs for each death. But even with that10 kills and 4 death "offiicial" hell not so shaggy (Not to mention laughing my bellybutton off the entire time )

In my best sortie I was my m8 vs. 1 M16 1 Ostwind and 2 Tanks. I went charging in at 60 MPH disabled the M16 first (driving from turret) then shifted to Ostind (took 3 shots) took out his gun then still hauling bellybutton went between the 2 tanks they were covering. I pickeed closest one took out his main gun circled gentle (fast) left - second tank could not bring his gun to bear took him out 2 shots, then as I completed my turn dispatched first tank (he took 5 more hits!) and headed rtb.

Only got assists on M16 and Ostwind (grrr) - but this little vacation sortie sold me on the M8. I "flew" it like an aircraft sortie - and i think most gv drivers are just not ready to defend against that.

edit to add: ON that best sortie the best part was when all 4 of them reupped at spawn point ans started trying to hit my rtb M8. Shells were exploding everywhere they were pissed, but they didnt get me. This was the best part.

Hey i used to think same way - but hell results talk. M8 should really be perked but not enough using it (correctly).

You are right 2 hits most M8 goes boom. But only a fool would leave this cat sitting on the litter box.

M8 is built to be fired while on the run. Turret traverses very fast, rate of fire very good- all mounted on a chassis that does 60 MPH (i.e. they cant hit you). Try it in this fashion it might just grow on you.

Thanks brady, im going to bed tonight with knowledge I left a good accounting of my virtual self

The SP14 kill was the last of the 10, and a nice way to go to bed. But the Sortie I accouted above, that was one of best times I had in AH ever. The whole time I was sure I was gonna die

Sometimes bold is better than brilliant.

WTG Turbot. Way to do something different. THere are sooooo many different aspects to AH and many are not visited by a good percentage of the players. Sounds like you found another Aces High"spark" for yourself!
