Title: i dk if its historically correct
Post by: toadkill on March 20, 2006, 08:51:11 PM

how about a JEEP where you can replace the mounted .50 cal with a rocket launcher. with like 3 shots. for anti tank runs. it wouldnt be cheap considering it only takes like 6 shots from a pintel to drop a jeep.

i thought it would be fun, but i dk if they had them in WW2, and in fact i doubt they did.

The US soldier in WWII tended to create a lot of things that, well, just weren't normal.  I once saw a picture of a Jeep with a 37mm Anti-tank gun mounted on the hood.  "Recoiless rifles" were just becoming available at the end of the European war, so I suppose some smart bastage probably mounted one on his jeep at some point -- but I don't think you would find anything like that as "standard issue."  They are jeeps, not Humvees.

Oh, what the heck, just perk it and make it so.
