:headscratch: firefly usage (kills+deaths) is only 15%, 3rd after panz at 34% and wirb at 17%. hardly unbalancing. K/D doesnt look excessive either, esp considering its the only dedicated tank destroyer we have.

this cheap perk cost will not allow the new M4s to be implicated into battles near the actual amount used and the VCs will still dominate over its peasants

Once the M4a3 is introduced, the VC Firefly should have the perks increased;  just like the panzer/tiger only an allied variant.  This would make the numbers in the game decrease with the qty of fireflies in each battle.

105 wasn't used as much or as well as the 76mm and 75mm

76 didnt have the T34. also the 75 can be a good perk farmer... and not the M-10, M-18 much better :aok

No, 4,993 M-10s compared to 2507 M-18s. The M-10 is more historically significant, but the M-18 has better performance/armament.

It appears that the Centurion was un-available in ww2, (which is a damn shame considering its service history).
Its most un-fortunate in that the best British tank of the war appears to be the Sherman itself, up-gunned to a 17 pounder with a 90% twist.

I would love to see the cruiser tanks added, but im afraid that they wouldnt be truly competitive.  :(


I would also like to see more tanks added instead of texture every new patch that comes out. Ex: King Tiger, M-18 Hellcat, Pather, jagdpanzar, etc.

Now all we need is the Gloster Meteor MkIII. To fill the gap between the tempest and the Me262 in the air game.  :aok

This.

actually this is not true... the M-18 has less frontal armor punch with its gun and less armor... but the M18 makes up for it with speed...speed...oh and speed. 60mph max speed on the M18 vs the M10 at 32mph... M10 was actually developed on the M4A1 hull. The M18 used the M1A1 76mm gun vs the M10's 76.2 (3") M7 main gun.

except that i said frontal armor penetration only... this is crucial if facing a PnzrIVH with a 76mm or 76.2mm. The 3 inch actually had a better chance of destroying a tank from the front than the 76mm M1A1
