Title: "Chub" Material

Quote by Pyro:"...the PT boats work like any other plane or vehicle. We're making a late-model 80' Elco. This will be one of the heaviest armed vehicles in the game with 4 .50 cal machine-guns, a 20mm cannon, a 37mm cannon, a 40mm cannon, 16 five-inch rockets, and 4 torpedos. Speed is around 45 mph.

COOL! <SCHWING!>

Wouldn't that be unusual and breaking with tradition? (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

If it did that it would have to be cut in half every mission by a destroyer. Kinda put a crimp in it's effectiveness. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

But in broad daylight a sharp fighter pilot with a pal and both well versed in taking osty's down on the fly will put his bellybutton right up on the beach. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Be glad they decided on a US PT.. and not a German E Boat. that thing would scare the hell outta me. Similar firepower; faster, and a fargin steel hull.

Post by: jedi on November 07, 2000, 11:27:00 AM: Are the torpedoes going to be PHOTON torpedoes so you can use them against aircraft? Or is the 37mm going to be "good enough" as an AA gun?

(http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

(couldn't resist...IMO the PT will be roughly...er...8 times more fun than a land vehicle--although the Rat Patrol jeep is a bit overdue)
