If you mean on the American M-16 halftrack, then yes it's four M2 .50's in the turret.

Oooh - screenshots!

Outstanding. I like AWiers Flakpanzer with the quad cannon but, ooooohhh  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif), that halftrack is sweet looking!!
I honestly can't wait to try it out.

Off topic a little.
As I was downloading the new screen shots last night, The spit V when it was about 1/3 downloaded looked almost exactly like an old lucas arts BOB spit ..Then the rest of it came down and wrecked the moment..

Ya know....was watching the History Channel last night at about 9:30EST and they were doing a special on the Browning .50 cal MGs.  What caught my eye was the Halftrack they had in there with the 4 .50s on it!  My God talk about timing  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

 My question on the halftracks revolves on their spawning points. Will it be from vehicle depots? This I can see as being the only way to avoid misuse at airfields.

 Feedback anyone?

Now we have a reason for ground attack! With depots dispersing halftracks, low-flying fighter-bombers have a reason to exist. Hitting the depots with bombers will also reduce base defenses. I like how this is beginning to flesh out...    (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

"Convoys streaming from the depot, rushing to the beleagured bases. Racing up the butte, they crest the hill in time to see fighters mercilessly vultching defending emplacements. Quad .50's erupt into fountains of fire, and once-graceful tools of death are themselves turned to fiery funeral pyres."

More! Bombing the ammo bunker will also reduce the ammo of the defending halftracks, eliminating "unlimited ammo" halftracks.

Well...

If I was in one, I would invite you. I think Ripsnort or Swager would be good guys to talk to. Hangtime or Lephturn are guys that will lend a hand as well.

Welcome to AH!
