[perdue3]

It's funny. I knew nothing about tanks until I played WoT, now I'm as educated about them as I am airplanes and I realize that I need to stay outta this thread so you tank knowledge noobies can have fun

World of Tanks... the worst game on the web taught you everything about them? and in CoH every tracked vehicle needs 7 shots to kill them and they all can turn on a dime... hmm thats right too!!!

Panther needs an MG42 machine gun for AA defense on that ring around the commanders cupola. That's why that ring is there.

Worst game on the web? You probably just suck at it.

tiger came out before the panther and it didnt have the same transmission as the panther. the tiger's transmission wouldnt allow for separate track movement. and ackack i actually looked at the M26, nothing that i read up on said anything about separating tracks to allow for this with the transmission. the only tank i have been able to find information on this is the panther. and i know for a fact that the tiger did not do this.

Been studying this stuff 35 years.

Watch the tiger do it's thing at 2:57

Sure, the Pershing didn't have the same transmission as the Panther but it was able to pivot on it's tracks like both the Panther and the Tiger.  I also seem to recall some of the Soviet tanks also being able to pivot on their tracks.

ack-ack

I'm just wondering, did any of the tanks in game have the ability to pivot in place?

Well i think that pretty much seals it. While very hard (and possibly damaging) on the tracks the Tiger could pivot on it place by moving the tracks in opposite directions.

i think the thing is they could do it but they wasn't made to do it. where the other tanks tracks where made to pivot by design
