Just jumped over a gun emplacement in one of these.
any awesome moves done in the M-18, post 'em here!! :D

I backflipped it on one of the little hills and it landed back on its tracks lol. It was a moment when I looked up in the corner and about shot myself when there wasn't a little red 'R' there lol

Oh yeah I'm loving it too! Last night we where charging a group of 4 M18s full speed trough the forest to overwelm a king tiger behind a hill. It really felt great... until we all got slaughtered by some hidden tank nearby. King tiger survived but what the heck, it was fun! :rock
I say its worth the little 1 perk you have to spend because there is usually another M18 on the opposing side you can easily kill to repay your money :devil

I had a fun engagement with a Tiger 1. I saw him moving up a flank at the 135 spawn, so I took the scenic route and got behind him. He had no idea I was there. I shot one round into him (while still moving) which destroyed his gun. I then shot him in the side while driving past, shot him in the front, then shot him in the rear again. He wasn't able to follow me with his turret. Unfortunately my shots didn't kill him, and I had to bug out as he had a friendly Hellcat coming to help, but I dare say the M18 is superior than the tiger in some situations, particularly in GV battles that take place in larger, wooded terrain.

A Tiger only has one thing working against it vs the M18: turret traverse. When in a Tiger and you see that M18 racing to your flank, forget trying to traverse the turret. This is where the true pivot capability comes in to play: pivoting that Tiger to keep the front hull towards the M18 and to get your gun on him faster is going to be key. Also, and I will remind people of this next tip as often as I am able, I HIGHLY suggest not taking %100 AP in a tank, especially in a Tiger. Why??? Because HE will be more effective vs the M18 than AP and here is why: you do not have to hit the M18 with HE to disable it, it only has 13mm of armor anywhere on its hull and HE will punch right through it with a near miss and disable it via throwing a track or damaging the engine, or even destroying it outright. Firing HE at an M18, moving or still, will be more effective than AP. Mark my word.

sounds like y'all had a good time with it, but still if it wasnt for BAR's persistent nature we wouldnt have it. :salute :aok

Fun fun gv yeha planes kill it easy but for the fun factor and the fact that it will be a factor in gv battles that have historically been long range slugfests I +1 the M-18. Cant wait to take it off some sweet jumps

you missed the beginning of that fight huh? :) I ran a mission to start a battle for that base where we had 4 TigerIIs 3 TigerIs 6 M18s and a mix of armor. If im leading a mission im not gonna be in a lightweight GV like the Hellcat :rofl
If you notice in my stats as of today i have 26 kills in the M18 with a total of 62 kills overall :ahand 10 being in that tigerII that night :aok another 6 in the 51B and 11 in the 51D :rofl ive been in my new toy more than my old favorite toys :noid

Oh no. I was there at the beginning. That's what kept making me chuckle. I kept getting, "You have been killed by BAR321" but I could never see what I assumed was the M-18 getting the kill. All I saw was the Tigers. All the Tigers. The M-18s went blowing by and I only saw one after that.
So this was just a cleverly designed campaign for more targets? Are you getting on the PBY band waggon next?
;)

I cannot get the M18 to go over 14mph.. I know something's wrong but I haven't a clue what. Its like its stuck in 1st gear.

If you have a "twisty" stick, wiggle it or adjust the deadband. If you use pedals...same thing. Happens to me all the time. This can be fixed by setting up a separate GV profile, which...I am too lazy to do ;)

Well does she handle like an M8 or what?

Looks fun, is the gun on the M18 modeled accurately ?

Yes, it's the same gun the M4-76 has, it has AP ONLY so... Anyhow, I was just wondering what eight .50 cals do to an M-18, mind demonstrating for me Oakranger?

It pretty much needs one good pass to make it go boom with 8 50cals. :devil Landed 5 GV kills 2 days ago in a P47M just with strafing runs, most of them M18s. Their lone coax .50 is useless.
