Post by: opposum on April 09, 2008, 01:11:14 PM
if the A34 comet was ever to be modeled into the game, would you like it?

how would you think it would preform against other tanks?

do you think it should be perked if it was put in the game?

do you think it should be perked if it was put in the game? 10K perks so we can see it as much as the original in WWII

Same.  I'm all for everything that saw action, despite numbers, but they have to be introduced based on the plane/gv/boats needs.  Like Italian/Japanese aircraft and the HE-111 :aok.

A34 was a late war British tank.It had a 77mm main gun that fired one of the first Sabot type rounds.It was meant to give the German tanks a tussle,and have a decent chance to survive.

I would love to see a British tank. A34 would probably be perked. 4inches of armor,77mm gun(61 rounds) and a top speed of 32mph.

Or the Churchill tank would be another good addition. Armour 16 to 102 mm (In the MK VII Front Armour 152 mm), Primary armament Various including QF 2 pdr QF 6 pdr 75mm 94mm, Secondary armament 2× Besa machine guns, and a top speed of 24mph. It not the nicest looking tank but it's British  :aok.

Not quite.  It was a shortened version of the 17lbr, and had a slightly lower muzzle velocity.

It was not, strictly speaking, a 77mm gun.  That designation was given to prevent issuing the incorrect ammunition.

So the comment in the other thread, about it being the first tank the Brits had that could get past the Tiger's and Panther's armor is not quite right, if AH's Firefly is anything to go by.

British units started to receive the Comet in December of '44.
