Title: American Tanks
Post by: Sakai on May 17, 2006, 10:43:26 AM

OK, so of course we need the M4, its multiple variants will make allied armor.

But don't we really, really, really also need the M3?

It not only was a tank, albeit kind of not as good as other mediums, but it had that whole 2 gun thing going and most importantly after you model that you have the chasis and basis for the 105mm M7 Priest.

Model the M3A1 with the cast hulll and the longer 75mm.  

Tell me raiding bases and towns with this beauty wouldn't be sweeeeeeeet fun!!!

I mean, at some point, we need something funk-o-rama and this baby fits the bill.

M3 has always been one of my favorite tanks.  The problem with it in the game is this:  first, the main armament is in the hull, and as of yet HTC has not modeled a hull only main gun.  There could be major coding involved (at least I assume there is since there are no assault guns or tank destroyers either).

Second, last I checked (granted a long time ago) when you have a "gunner" in a tank, he has control of all the guns, leaving you only driving and unable to go to any gun mount (turret or pintle).  For the M3 to be really effective, something would need to be coded so that one person (assume the driver) could use the main gun while the gunner controls the turret and copula gun.

So, although I would love to see it added, don't hold your breath.
