Forwarded to Pigs BBS. Question for you, by both types do you mean the Firefly as well? Got to have something that can gun it out with that monster!
-
most definitely be there sounds like a fun time in the mud ~OinK
-
the m4(75) and the M4(76), but for the engagement, we can consider the firefly, just at that base only.
-
Bombs away :)
So 38 allied... what is axis AC?
Had to add one more thing..... that Twin River terrain is a work of art.
-
no 38's, spit, typhoon, mosquito. axis have g14, 110, A5.
will probably add firefly to even things up. axis have panzer and panther

LOL i was there. Only had time for one run though. Was a lot of fun!

Sorry that my work schedule doesn't allow me to fully participate in these. However, I did get in on the first 15 minutes or so. With the terrain, we had destructible bridges and lots of buildings to navigate and hide around.
Right off the bat, Waystin and crew knocked out a flanking bridge, as we rolled towards town. Then someone started popping our guys to the left of me. Some pretty good snipes too! I managed to stay out of their line of sight and set up around the corner from where I estimated the fire was coming from.
I had hoped to direct some friendly fire based on my position and proximinity to the bad guys. Still, our guys were getting popped. I slipped off a couple of smoke grenades to blind the sniper. It must have worked for a little bit because two guys rolled in front of my turret and got the business end of the Sherman's AP round...... priceless!!!
Smoke grenade fizzled and I couldn't get support in close enough to cover my flank. End of the story, Shukes got around behind me and after hearing a couple of MG rounds, and a tank round I found myself reading the clock in the tower. This was great fun guys. All in all, good fights on the ground and in the air prior to the ground war also.
What was sweet....... While in the MA trying to round up some last minute players, I saw CM text SPAM the event in sparkling GOLD letters: "Join the 40 other players in the AvA for featured tank battle beginning at 9 EST".... That was nicely done USRanger!!
-
That was my first time in the AvA and it was a blast. My only complaint was I couldn't tell where the river was. Got stuck twice. Otherwise, made lots of kills in the Panther (big surprise, what a monster). Was good action all around though. Want to do it again. :aok

You might need to mess with your graphic settings a little if you can. Try detailed water and then you should be able to see the river.

Another thing that was freaking me out Sloehand (BTW a big salute Sir) was that I could see you guys when not zoomed, zoom in on target and all I can see is buildings. Gonna have to adjust my graphics for this kind of stuff as well.
:salute

Yeah, Waystin I noticed that when we were rolling up to the town. I could see them running back and forth on the horizon, but when I zoomed in they were actually behind buildings. I think this is more of a feature of the custom objects that made the terrain look so cool. We will just call it ... ummm infantry intel :uhoh Anyways, once you get to the towns no such luck in seeing through glass buildings, and it made for a couple of quick kills for me laying in wait on a corner. Now if I could only find a spot that had my 6 covered also. Ooops, did I say that aloud?? :confused:
