First off we are talking about 105mm gun OR the 155mm. I believe either one fires three rounds per minute at most but maybe the 105 is slightly faster. I suggest you ask for the 105. At that rate (3 rpm) it takes a full minute to equal one shot from an eight inch turret with three barrels. In that same time an M4 will have fourteen rounds down range. In two minutes the M4 will have the hangar dead and will be working on the second hangar. An M4 can kill five hangars (4xVH and 1xFH) in nine minutes. Actually, I have film of killing 2xManned acks 6xBarracks, 4xVH and 1xFH in nine minutes and four seconds.
Yes, I guess if you take the weaker of the two options, the M4 does start to look a bit better. If HTC included a land gunner mode, it might even be a viable option. But without, drive time must be factored in for the M4, giving the advantage to the artillery.
Second, regardless of what Eric thinks the gun is only going to hit 11k, which is only 1k further than the M4 will shoot (and really the M4 will shoot that far, but in AH even if it does you will never see it. Also, the way things are the last time I checked, if someone is watching your round hit and they are further than 10k they will never see your rounds.
Yeah, I don't think the 105 is the real competitor to the M4.
Third, the Priest will be just as easy to kill as an M18 (no top on the tank). If you want to discuss the towed artillery pieces then that's different. They die even easier.
screw the Priest, let's talk about the pieces that will be useful in AH like the M12 and the Hummel.
Fourth, if you shell a base then stuff is going to explode. People will investigate what is causing it and then you're a hangar queen. Just like that.
Two things, and two things only could make a Hummel a hangar queen. Those being if HTC decides to either not give it land gunner mode, or if they perk it.
Your 'considerable' experience in GVs doesn't hold a candle to me kid. You need to figure that out right now. You've had me pegged wrong ever since you showed up on this board and it makes you look really bad. Just saying.
You don't seem to GV much, if your stats page is anything to go on. And I have yet to kill it be killed by you.
Now, if you think I can't provide film you have another thing coming. The problem is you missed it when I posted film previously. But, if you can't find it and still doubt my word then I suggest you look up Lyric online. I think everyone in the game considers lyric to be level individual that tells it like it is. He has not only sat right beside me while I flattened bases at 10k range, but he has brought me supplies and captured the fields I was shooting. Just ask him.
I'm not going to go digging through your posts searching for 1 specific video . Care to provide a time frame for this post? Or as I've said, a screen shot would do, and would take all of a few minutes to acquire, if you are to be believed.
Also I talked to Lyric last time we went through this. All he says is that you shell bases from more than 6K. He has not confirmed 10K, if you had a line of sight, how reliably you can do it, etc.
As to shelling bases flat. . . many, many Bishops witness this when I do it. Many of the really good tankers drop supplies for me because they like the results. I know you're curious and want to know how to do it but even if I post the film you won't figure it out. I can already determine that.
I have no interest in shooting at stuff that can't shoot back. Take a look at my GV damage stats; I've literally fired on town buildings twice since I've been back.
But, since you went into insult mode (again) you are back on my ignore list.
Now if only you would stop posting your drivel.
