im assuming alot of people will miss most of their rocket shots in addition to the fact that the rockets are only 2.5 inch(so not much of a damage factor). so i dont really see the score value in this new M4 but all the same it looks like it will be fun to experiment with.

4.5"

we just ran 4 m4's with calliopes (inaugural run)  into a town (undefended) and I think I used 15-20 rockets and 10-15 HE before we had it down.. took the amount of time it takes for a tank to run from one side of the town to the other, basically... the HE worked quite well on it's own..

still wanna see how easy they are to kill..

Yeah I got it wrong, my fault. Anyhow, enjoy your base taking heroes. I get off on fighter kills not bases. So basically no real change for me or my homies with this new tank. Airfields are just places to launch from and land. I dont really care what you do.

LOL!
I have not found one in the wild yet, but are they easier to kill than a typical gv?
anyone up for some testing?
seems like alot of propellant and explosives that are not armored, sitting on top of a tank :)


They are relatively easy to kill and get kills with! I made 6 kills in the M4A3(76) against flaks and shermans (M4A3) last night within just a few min sitting in town! I attempted to look at the stats for the 2 new M4's but they seem to not be available yet.

Oh yeah and whats the "score" thing people keep talking about!   :rofl

Did a run early this morning, undefended base, for a trial run in blue arena. 4 rockets per building, or 1 shell and 2 rockets. Aiming was fairly close i must say. I was on skirts of town hitting far side. I would say I was 1 and half out for good effect for aim. If i pulled up I over shot town, so I would estimate they have a range closer to 3.5k. At least this is my experience. Eitherway, was able to take the town down within 7 mins. This will be a tank in my missions. Problem is I dont like to intermix Allied, and Axis together. Just feels funny IMHO. So I guess people will ahve to use a m16 or bring there own wirble. :D

Forgot who said this while trying to take a base, but the quote goes like this. "I cant help you with ack, Im not in attack mode" This is with only 2 ack up in the town while troops were there, waiting. The rest of the town was down.

The max range is about 5k for the M4A3(75) rockets.

Good one but im gonna use homie as much as i want. I actually tested out this sherman rocket thing for score horing and my bombing percentage was 2% after that sortie. Didnt do anything different than i normally do but usually I get no less than 7% on a single run with the 251. So now I really really dont care much about it.

It's not a bomber, hence, it doesn't contribute to bombing %.

Try Damage Hit Percentage under Vehicles and Boats Scores.

I have to admit... I was protecting a base last night and all of the sudden things started popping around me. I finally figured out it was rockets. I though there were a bunch of SDks out there.

I don't GV much and did not know about the new sherman.  :rofl

I hit a tank out there 5 times with my panzer and nothing. He hit me once and I was looking at notes in the tower.  hehe
