Post by: MOIL on September 17, 2003, 11:20:16 PM: Yup, thats what most of um do...drop "eggs" on us
A couple of us usually get nailed. This is the thing that makes it fun for us {LTAR} You line ur plane up, ready your eggs, line up on one or two of us, then drop, meanwhile the 8 or 10 of us you missed, are still slingin' a hell of a lot of lead at ya:eek:
Your gonna catch a round!

AW here we come.........

The Wirbelwind never left Germany during WWII............

IMO the single out standing GV missing from AH is the Studebaker truck towing or mounting

Katyusha

(http://users.pandora.be/bert.dujardin/Pictures/Vehicles/Katyusha_in_action.jpg)

or towing a deployable

88mm manned artillery that can be used with AA, HE or AP (anti-aircraft, anti- tank, anti-object)

or

37 manned heavy cannon that can be used with HE or AP.

Katyusha.... 16 225mm rockets per salvo (32 if a trailer is included) very long range...very innaccurate ............long period to deploy and reload........ able to pepper an enemy position but unable to target a specific object.

88mm artilery piece (in game now but not activated as a manned ggun) medium range.......... accurate....... 5 - 10 sec reload time, slow to deploy.......... able to target individual objects and ground vehicles/tanks can be used as AA with time fused shells.

37 mm as we have now quicker to deploy from a trailer than the above.

I thought there were two models. The Mk II had the armored turret like in that picture, quite similar to the Ostwind. The Mk I was a completely open turret, and was used extensively along the Atlantic wall.
