Title: M-3 Gmc
Post by: Sloehand on March 17, 2007, 08:30:10 PM

Just read an interesting article about the M-3 Gun Motor Carriage in WWII mag.  Developed pre-war from the M-3 chassis with a 75mm cannon that could penetrate 3 inches of armor, it was intended as a defensive tank destroyer, but saw a lot of offensive use as well against both the Germans and Japanese.

It was a hair bit slower than the standard M-3 variants and slight up-armored.  Wonder if it might be interesting enough to add into the game?

Thoughts, anyone?

Would be interesting.  I know, I know...Aces High and all, but a few more GVs would make the game more interesting.  Could be a nice spawn camp buster! :D

Because it was in Warbirds first, we will never see it.  Even though it would be awesome and all that.

Heck I'd like to see the M-15... which had a single 37mm with 2 .50's...

More gvs is a good thing and this would not be at the bottom of my list for sure :)

I'd like to see later Shermans, like the Firefly or other other 76mm high velocity gun armed versions (with a very light perk).

And perhaps the T-34-85 (lightly perked as well).

How about the Hellcat tank destroyer in the U.S. inventory... that sucker could hit 60 m.p.h.
