Given the right driver/gunner any weapon is deadly. I've been shot down by the pintle on a panzer multiple times. I for sure will be less likely to straff one of these with a low slow B25H. Better pop the turrent on your first pass or it might be your last!

This should make things a little more interesting when defending fields.

but with the high rate of fire should be eficient against low alt vulchers, i think was over 1000 rpm

Looks great, and I am very excited for the next update, now I wonder if all of the updates to graphics are going to hurt the guys with lesser PCs.

This looks like the mother of all updates (to paraphrase a dead despot), Has anybody got (hehehehe) any information about WHEN we will see it?

Two things: First, thank god for this vehicle.

Second, I'm glad I just spent $1,200+ on my new PC.

Way to Go HTC!

Wow!Gonna be a nice update thanks to HTC!I noticed that the Wirbeliwind has a muzzle velocity of 900 fps.That is way slow.Forty five pistol has muzzle velocity of 812-850,depending on load.I've been away from WB's to long to recall how well the Wirbelwind worked.They sure didn't make very many Osti's or Wirbelwinds,but I'm thanklful for everything we get.
