Title: Whirly vs M16
Post by: eagleheartone on September 04, 2008, 07:53:32 PM
Well, I am not the history buff here, was there even a whirly in Africa?  Either way the whirly well out guns the M16 by far, and is no way an even match for base defending.  Just a thought, sure many agree.

Like is said in another post, the wirble is severely outclassed in speed, which can make the difference between a successful base take. That is the only advantage it holds and in my opinion is not much. Also IIRC the wirble was introduced in 1944. So I believe it was not involved in NA.

whirble has superior firepower, survivability and gunner views. as stated the m16 has better speed. unless you are going for a base capture speed is not that important.

Or unless you need to rush out to a town real fast to defend the map room.

Was thinking of disabling both, because I'm not a big fan of substitutions, but decided to enable M16 for both Allies and Axis Wirbelwind has been removed, it is correct that it doesn't belong in N. Africa.
