Pnzr III and IVs are different chassis <S>

Hmm.... I was under the impression that the Wirby and Osty were based on the Pzr Mk III

the m60 does not come from the sherman. its roots lie with the m26 pershing and m48. someone needs to do more research.

[/hijack]someone needs to stop trolling [/hijack]

anyways...why not the StuG III? i think that would be better than anything that has an M-18 in it...

...you cry WAY to much about trolling whenever you get proven wrong skorpion  :rolleyes:

stugIII couldnt be in this game for one reason: its a TD without a turret. therefore to aim you'd have to reverse tracks (could someone tell me what the official name for this is called? i forget) but tanks in AH can do this. so it would be pretty hard to aim with the stug. (if someone was firing at you from the side, you'd have to jump in the drivers seat, start moving. turn the whole tank towards the target. THEN take aim, and usually by the time you do all this you'll allready be dead).

the M18 would be better (this is just what i think) because it has an actual turret.

a tank destroyer doesnt need a turret to be in the game, it never said anywhere on this website that it needed to have a turret to be in the game. i think YOU need to do a bit more research. it has a 20degree rotation in both ways. if you just keep the engine on you could turn the tank at your enemy and blast em out of the water. The stug at least has more armor than an m18 and it wont be cut to peices by 50 cals as krusty said.

again, the main point seems to have soared over your 14yr old head.

no tank in AH can rotate on its treads.that function hasent been put ingame. so to add the stugIII without giving it the ability to rotate would be putting it at a huge disadvantage.

here, i'll be your tank teacher for tonight and give you a project.


spawn in the panzer.
go into battle.
DO NOT turn the turret sideways. you can turn it up&down but not at all side2side.
try to aim at tanks that are firing at you by having to turn the whole tank in there direction before you get a shot. (you'd have to ether accelerate forward or backwards to do this, since we dont have tank rotation).
then come back in here tomarrow and post your results as filmd&screenshots.


if AH added tank rotation. then sure. the stugIII would be good. so would the Hetzer. but until then i believe the m18 would be better to add then the stugIII because of its revolving turret.


skorpion, this is just my OPINION. you seem to be taking everything i say as a personal attack on you. thats why you cry so much about "being trolled"

when i asked for this i meant for the tank rotation to be included...how else would we do it? i mean duh its gonna be included or else is just a stationary gun. might as well get a mobile 17 pounder from the fields if HTC doesnt include the tank rotations :rolleyes:
