Title: new ground vehicle idea
Post by: muffdvr on March 10, 2003, 06:10:00 PM: Iwould love to see a new German ground vehicle. We already have the American M-16 half track so how about the German version. The STUKA ZU FUSS? Half track, two machine gun posts, and also a short range missle launcher. rockets are 28cm and 32cm in size carring a tottal of six rockets.

And can be disabled with a Pepsi bottle.

How about: No new German stuff till we have some Russian, Italian, and Japanese stuff and that includes Armor?

There are a dozen planes more needed than any armored vehicle.

Well . . .

are we talking the new plastic two liter bottles or the old, glass 32 ounce bottles?

The inertia, MV and ME of the glass bottle could disable virtually all command type cars from WWII, though I'd agree, only the Italian armored cars and then only during the Pasta break.

Post by: Holder3 on March 11, 2003, 10:50:55 PM: I'd say give us the Russian T-34 and the Japanese Type 97 Chi-Ha (medium tank). Everyone knows about the T-34, here is some info on the Type 97.

The standard medium tank in the Japanese army during WWII was the Type 97 Chi-Ha. This model portrays the modified, or "Shinhoto" version, with an improved turret mounting a new 47mm gun. This particular version eventually became the most important japanese medium tank of the war.
