Title: Favorite in game Gv
Post by: Mustang T on September 30, 2009, 04:25:14 PM
I'm a fan of the Panzer IV (http://www.axishistory.com/fileadmin/user_upload/p/panzer4-pzreg29-east1944.jpg)                                              Big gun, thick enough armor-Good all round tank! :aok

The only good GV is either the one that is dead, or the one that hasn't spawned.

In the MAs, a Panzer. Only because the Shermans have ruined the Tigers.

T34 / 85.  

Love the quick turret.  Half my kills come from whacking planes with the main gun.  Yes people are stupid enough to fly straight down the barrel and even when they don't I've killed planes 1-2k with deflection.

The little extra speed helps getting to fields quicker and the HE has a good punch.  Only let down is the lack of ammo after you've completely porked an airfield and de-acked.   :D

Hmmm... thats a tough one.  I like em all.  Depends on the situation really.  If I am going tank vs tank... either the T34 or the Tiger (and the Tiger is only if I think there is another Tiger out there).

If I am not sure what I am going to be up against, I will roll out a Panzer.  If I am taking down a town... the Ostwind.  Recon, sneaking a V Base, or fast fire support needed... the M8.  Running GV supplies... Jeep!  Running troops or field supplies... M3.

For AA, I am taking the M16 more and more these days.

Sometimes I will up the Sdkfz 251 just for S&G's... or if I think I may need to drop a building or 2 with the rockets while taking a town... but they are slow and the MG's are puny.

Never really used the Sherman, since I am usually in Mid War.

being able to chase down a panzer/wirb/sherman thats already otw to base/town from one of those head-to-head spawns is great...

Good one.  Here is what use and what circumsances I may use them.

1.  M8  for deacking fields and setting the camp up on the fields for planes.
2.  Panzer  for most of my GV engagements. 
3.  Tiger  base defense
4.  Shermans  base defense or attack when perks drop below 5.
5.  Wirble  taking down strats
6.  Osti  taking down strats or deacking a field and taking down VH's
7.  T34/76  taking down towns (those 100 he rounds are enough)
8.  LTV4  taking down towns or strats
9.  T34/85  for getting in quick to a base and deacking then raising as much hell on the runway until soemone kills me.
10.  Jeep   killing panzers in close (sneak up on there 6 get up close and fire at their donut end and they will pop).

T34/85 is my favorite, good speed, fast turret, good firepower.
Great all around tank.
I think because it doesnt have an MG on top that it gets strafed alot (which I love)...I wouldnt be suprised if half of my kills are of planes taken out with the main gun.

Works better on Tigers. Drive inside them and .50 the control panel. Kills the "pilot" and therefor the tank.

When was the last time you did that?

I've never done it. Used to see it all the time before we became more watchful for Jeeps on our perked sorties and the use of Jeeps dwindled.

I asked, because that Jeep glitch was removed years ago ;)

About a month ago I popped two panzers using a jeep.  I was not inside the panzer but right on his rear.  I was so close he couldnt traverse down to fire.  I fired directly at his rear just below the tank on the back.  Took about 150 so rounds but they popped.  Now it is not something I can do all the time but if you dont pay attention and I get in close yes it is possible.  In fact I learned it by having it done to me.  Next time I am out and about in a jeep I will record and see if I can capture this on film.

I'd like to test it since the bailed pilot glitch was fixed but I don't see how you'd fix the Jeep.

I like that no one has admitted that the Firefly is their favorite GV.  That's like the "name your favorite aircraft threads" where no one names the Spit XVI. :P

I don't really like the Firefly, myself. I take it if the group is rolling them, but I prefer the Panzer.

Its possible.  Probably only about 5% of the player base even posts on the forums.

Well, it still works.

(By the way, whose bright idea was it to disable tanks at the GV area in the DA? Oh well.)

I prefer the wingtip-less C-47. Faster than the M3 and can jump hills.

T34-85 tied with the Sherman


T34-85 if I can get an angle where only my turret is exposed and keep picking up supplies.

Sherman if I am facing multiple opponents as I can view the largest area through the sites and scan.
