Not quite the same... Low level (repeat, level) flying is one thing... See my previous comment. Dive bombing, full load, in combat, on a friendly vehicle, which is spamming the air with rockets trying to shoot down said bomber with ground-to-ground artillary in a way it was never used in the war.


There's just nothing RIGHT about that statement, so much as it's just totally wrong. Morally and historically.

Yes, this same hull could be a M4 A3(76) and also the M4 A3 (105).
Both great vehicles for in game.

Didn't know if anyone had posted it yet but here is a video of the rocket launcher (t-34 Calliope) being loaded and fired.

You seriously think WW2 lanc pilots dive bombed their own tanks?

there's so much wrong with that, I just don't know where to begin...

You are kidding me with that question... seriously?

If you didn't see my sarcastic point... which I think you may actually have... morally and historically... my apologies.

I'm betting I'll flip my tank on a tree 10 times more. I'll nickname it the squirrel catcher. Making squirrels with camera piss themselves endlessly since tour XXX. :D

(Image removed from quote.)

I'd camp one of those flail tanks near the map room just waiting for the troops to come running, then turn it one and mow them over with it.  If only the game would include trooper screams when they die and meat grinder death animations.

Not sure if this has already been brought up or not, but I wonder if you will be able to jettison the Calliope because it says you can't fire the main gun while it's attached & it says that it could be jettisoned hydraulically in a matter of seconds.

Pyro answered that question already in this thread.  :rolleyes:
