One of my squadies (Hornet33)
had the opertunity to go to MECCA (HTC) a couple of weeks ago. He had brought back news of a new jeep with a mounted fifty (cool). I was thinking how cool it would be if the driver could carry a thompson and some grenades and maybe a satchel charge for tanks and hangers? (Rat Patrol) maybe this thread has been posted in the past. I appologize for not researching this, but I felt it would be a great compliment to the new jeep. So HTC if your reading this what do you think?:aok

Well I guess I'm FUBAR then:O
Hitech if I stole your thunder sorry bro:lol
Hornet if the HTC storm troopers show up at your door for breaking your oath of silence. Well............sorry:p Send em up to Chicago. I'll introduce them to some bent nose friends of mine.:t
-
Do you seriously think folks fall for that anymore? No, I mean that as an honest question. Are you just hoping, or do you expect to get the newbies hooked, or are you playing to the old AW crowd? Because the last group would know better, the first group is just hopeless, and the middle group -- well they just don't know better.

Krusty, Krusty, Krusty!
I know this much Sir.
Hornet 33 went to HTC he saw TOD in it's beta form he also saw a non perked jeep with a mounted fifty that was being tested for quick introduction. So:p PM Hornet ask him he will back it up:aok
No Gill nets here boys move on!:rolleyes:
-
A jeep huh.
Can we have a mounted stinger.....or better yet a mount TOW missle so we can take out those pesky tigers easier.
Please Hitech. Pretty please!:)

OK I wasn't going to post anything about it but Uber is correct. I saw the test version of the new jeep. Pyro was working on it when I visited a few weeks ago and it looks awsome. I belive they said Waffle had done the skin for it or designed it. One of the two. Maybe both. Anyway it is real and they mentioned that they were trying to get it ready for release in the future. I watched HiTech and Pyro work on the engine idle sound file. Suspension needed some serious work as it tended to jump about 50ft into the air after hitting a small rock but it is in the works.
Uber is not trolling here fellas. The unicorn is real, although Uber needs to get smaked for opening his PIE HOLE!!!! Or maybe I need to get smaked for telling Uber but he is a squadie so I felt obligated.
I also saw the new 3D version of the B-17. Very nice, can't wait for that one to show up. Some very cool stuff added to that plane.
I like the Thompson SMG and satchel charge idea though. I could have some fun with that stuff.

SMACKED :eek: Bring it Hornet I will give you an enema with my panzer:O :rofl
-
well, uberhun, i will hide you in my ice fortress. it is defended by evil zombie libertarian mutants. all armed with Veto sticks and nerd-seeking missiles! AND GAMMA-POWERED MECHANICAL MONSTERS!!! WITH FREEWAY ONRAMPS FOR ARMS!! AND A HEART AS BLACK AS COAL!!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!!!!!!

i was hoping for an SAS jeep, but it doesnt look like we are getting it. sounds cool tho. wonder what it will be used for, will be like an M8 without armour and cannon.

The jeeps were heavily armed with combinations of both Browning and Vickers K machine guns. The ex-aircraft Vickers weapons were generally mounted in pairs and a total of up to five machine guns were carried on some vehicles. The effectiveness of this armament firing a mix of ball, armour-piercing and tracer shells can be judged from one assault on an airfield where 12 aircraft were destroyed in a five minute raid. With all guns blazing a single SAS jeep could deliver an impressive 5000 rounds per minute! The net result was that over 400 aircraft had been destroyed on the ground by November 1942. Stirling was finally captured in 1943 but escaped four times before being sent to Colditz where he spent the rest of the war.
As the front moved from Africa to Italy and then on into Northwest Europe so did the SAS. The scale of each action varied tremendously. In one operation (codenamed Houndsmith), 144 men were parachuted with jeeps and supplies into an area close to Dijon, France. In another four men in two jeeps killed or wounded 60 SS men destroying two staff cars and a truck in the process at the village of Les Ormes, France.
By late 1944 the SAS were operating behind German lines in Europe. Further modifications to the jeeps included the use of armour plate with bullet-proof glass screen at the front and a wire cutter fitted to the front bumper of some vehicles.
The effectiveness of the SAS in Europe during W.W.II can be judged from the fact that they inflicted 7,733 German casualties, 4,784 prisoners were captured and 700 vehicles were either destroyed or captured. 164 railways were cut, seven trains were destroyed and a further thirty-three derailed. The SAS was briefly disbanded at the end of W.W.II but the methods of organisation and operations had set the pattern for future SAS action in the Falklands and Gulf Wars

No the "Lazers" on it are way to under modeled. Plus the armor is not thick enough to repell a tank shell.

HAY!! YOU JUST CUT AND PASTED MY ROBOT!!!!!

And a Kubelwagon with a spandau! You could have Jeep/Kubelwagon 'dogfights' - but you'd have to perk the jeep - particularly the SAS version. Then the Brits would have the Bren Carrier - THAT would have to be perked because of the armour, although not as fast as the other two it was less affected by the terrain, so I suppose those little italian tankettes would be included too . Oh - what did the Japs have?
Then a Tyffie wipes the field! :p
But - if you could pick up downed pilots, you could engineer scenarios where pilots bomb the FH, bale out and join waiting jeeps, go on to vulch the enemy field or help bring down the town.
Phew! Are there trucks coming too?

did i hear someone say we need a town dedicated to troop wars so we can be grunts parachuting out of C47s with tommy guns and M1s and hunt each other down on foot, and actually have something to shoot at with the Pintle guns on tanks and Jeeps, Sounds like a great idea to me. :D anybody else like it? Filth even said he'd like to see real players capturing the map room of towns instead of 10 computer people. i thought of this idea bailing out of my plane and running around with the .45 next to GVs

If it's true then it's HiTech's fault. He should have made the guy sign a NDA to prevent him from disclosing anything he saw during his tour of the HTC studio.

yah, but its not called his "ice fortress" it is the weener "fortress of solitude".
-
But it's still made of ice and in the north pole so while it might be called his "Fortress of Solitude" it is still his ice fortress since it's made out of ice.
