The new IL2 is a monster... just one look at one coming at you can make you wanna cry. Iv seen the 37s take out a t34/85 turret out in one pass, with ease. We are going to need good wirble gunners to get through this.
And on a second topic, i think the M4 might be a gonner, because it takes so long for the turret to raise and lower. I think the t34/85 will take its place.

It won't, because the vert movement will surely be corrected:
being looked at - something got buggered up on the vert movement

The M4 was on steroids, anyway.

Think of it as another way to make kills. More people are coming after ya. :)

So is the WW turret speed..yet no whining about that.

I certainly hope so! I was wondering if that was what they were referring to on the update info page about adjusting the M4 turret traverse. Last night I fell asleep while moving my M4 turret from full up to full down. :lol
Steroids Anax? :huh

The turret traverse of the early T-34/76 was *not* powered: the gunner/commander had to crank it around manually. Gun elevation was also controlled via a hand-crank.
According to what I've read, the later, upgunned T-34/85 had an electric motor for the turret traverse. (Was this standard? I can't find any real numbers.) Did the elevation mechanism also get an electric motor?

Course turret traverse by the tank commander:
You reach down on each side ..pull the spring loaded pins UP, turn the turret to where you want it, drop the pins into place ..and crank the gear for fine aiming. It's why the T-34 rocked the tigers badly in Kursk ..and that system was still in use in the T-55's of the 1950's.
Ask me how I know.
The turret swings on the turret ring very easily once unlocked
..I had no trouble at all putting it right where I wanted it.
(been inside an operational T-34 and operational T-55)

DON'T SWEAT IT.
set up your gv runs just like we set up our bomber runs.
take whatever tank into a base you want.....many of them. be sure to have m16's, wirbles, and flakpanzers as escorts. they protect you from the air cons, you kill the thngs you need to kill.
it only requires a bit of planning now, that's all. more of a challenge, and still fun fights.

Bring out the LTAR's :D

I'm here to wonder how those 37mms do in the HO?

It's not the base attacks I'm concerned about..it's griefers ruining GV battles for the easy kills.

we have whirbelwind.
should make a great equalizer vs IL-2s.

We should begin to see more supporting AA fire for GV attacks now :aok

i could only imagine...look what they do to GV's!!!! :rock

I always thought that if you wanted to kill a gv, you bombed him, or took a tank out and go for him. Now we can just shoot at them and BOOM :O

And another nail into the Hurricane IID's coffin ;)

You could do that before... The 23mm Il-2 version was/is good vs Panzer, Sherman, Ostwind/Wirbelwind and all smaller stuff. The Hurri D can kill every battle tank, so can the B25H.

I think I know what they did, they are also working on a Tiger 2. Here are some sample screen shots.
