Axis are the ones lacking any dedicated air-to-armor units in AH.

I always found a 500 or 1,000lb bomb to work just fine.

First, I think the Firefly could get an updated ammo load. I know there were HE rounds available, but something tells me since they were designated TD's they have far fewer HE rounds on hand than AP rounds. Why would a Firefly, a designated TD, ever go into the field with only HE??? Just a hunch, though.
Secondly, if there is a TD that could be added to the game with relative ease it would be the M10. AH already has the chassis and the gun in the game. The open turret is all that would be needed.
Thirdly, I'd vote for the M18 or Su100. Both would brig something new to AH. I hope the Su100 wold open the door for true tread traversing instead of car-like steering, but I know there are "coading" issues involved. The 100mm D-10S APHE round could penetrate 150mm of 0 degree armor at 1000 yards. The Su100 had 75mm of sloped armor up front, had 45mm on sides and rear, and 20mm on the top. Speed was 30mph at best. The main gun could only traverse 10 degrees left and right, and it carried only 34 rounds of ammo. It has the same chassis as the T34. It is void of any MG's for self defense.

Are we talking about Tank Destroyers or air to ground? :headscratch:

I'm not sure but would the P-61 fit this role? If so, sign'r up! :rock

There were reports of Foo Fighters on the ground? Hmm... never heard of that.
Hey you're right dude an M18 would be really cool :D

M 10 achillies which has a 17 pounder and the 75mm gun
M 18 Hellcat why not it was the fastest thing on treads.
Beaufighter and the halifax Mk III or the short stirling need to be added if were getting another us 4 engine heavy then its time for one of the other aliied four engine heavies to be added
and the beaufighter deservesto be here it had a great service record.

About freaking time..
you just cost me $20. What happened? Did you get a life outside of AH or something?

M-10's had something called "rivets". If they encountered a Tank Round and sheared, it bounced around the innards of the tank/crew.
The M-18 was most certainly NOT "the fastest thing on treads in WWII".
The Beau should been added prior to us even getting to vote on a 29.

My P-47D-25 can kick your M-18 ass. :t

Hurricane Mk IId, Il-2?
Axis are the ones lacking any dedicated air-to-armor units in AH.
whats the best convergence to set the IID's 40mm's on?
-
[you being silly aside] that really comes down to shooting style. I always advise people to set it out past the normal 250-400...... At the same time, when attacking gv's it is far less important for you to be hitting the same spot over and over. (ie. a tank losing it's turret will not kill it compared to a plane losing it's wing)
At the end of the day, it should come down to the cannon you're firing. (The Russian's shoot a little lower than the American's.)

oh no i wasent refering to that at all.
i ment about his beu being added before the b29 statement.
i guess i should of just quoted that part :o

I would rather have the M36 instead of the M18...I never see the 36 mentioned here or in World of Tanks.
The 36 actually had some armor, and also the 90mm instead of the 76mm.
Unfortunately both would be eaten alive in MA due to the open turret...gun would be popped just as easy as the wirb, but wouldnt be able to fire back.

And I've wondered the same thing. I've even read, somewhere, some disparaging remarks about the M-18 from crews who were formerly in M-10s.
M-10-->3" former AAA gun.
M-18-->76mm, same as in the M-4(76) in game now.
M-36-->90mm, same as the Pershing.
Bigger is better. :devil

I still say the Su100 or M18. Both would add something currently absent from the game in terms of gv's. Along with a whole host of M3 and SdKfz 251 variants.

M-18 wont have realism problems in here. By the way... how big is 3" compared to 76mm anyways? ;)

There is 2.54 cm in an inch or 25.4 mm so the 76mm is .2 of a mm smaller than 3 inches.
