I might be wrong, but isnt the Sherman V the British equivalent of the Jumbo? I seem to remember it having aa ungodly amount of armour up and above the rest of the Shermans. maybe this explains the occasional 88mm ricochet?

Don't feel too bad, I lost a Jagdpanzer IV to a M3 halftrack. Apparently they're vulnerable to 50cal from the rear.

ASL Vet, the squares are 20 meters, not feet.

KwazyDog, the contest site says your considering multiple paint schemes for most vehicles, will this include a set of '42 bitmaps, when panzer grey was still the standard?

I just thought it was interesting to hear the intervies with the two tank commanders who faced Whitman at Villars-Bocage.

Where did the link to the CMMOS 3 mega update go? I don't seem to be able to see it anywhere on the CMHQ site.

Hi Mom!

Merry Christmas :confused:

I'm not sure why that is. The German AA guns seem especially hard to spot when firing, I guess that spotting probability is connected to the calibre and maybe muzzle flashes/dust <hr></blockquote> The German AA guns I've seen are not much bigger than a 50cal mg once they're in position. The US Bofors though, are huge by comparison, high profiles.

Just a guess, but the "poorly modelled" 50cal is actually a nice looking M60.

You might need the explain to your friend the difference between a 105mm antitank gun and a 105mm howitzer, that might be his reason for confusion. He could be thinking of Isreali M50 Shermans with the 105mm high velocity guns.

These will die at the sound of 50cal fire, I lost several in a quick battle to 600m 50cal fire.

The US paratroopers do get RRs in the game, their is a scenerio on the disk where you get two US 57mms and I think their are 75mm available in the scenerio editor.

All your GI Combats belong to us?

The translation is up to. Hi Mom

All your Harvard law degrees belong to us!!

If I recall from a previous thread, they do provide a little of both.

Actually, they built the "Jagdpanther" out of a old British APC. [ 11-26-2001: Message edited by: Shipmonkey25 ]</p>

So Steve, the IS-3 is in?

I've never played that mission, but you might want to check in the mission editor. It's possible that the Tiger showed up as a preplanned reenforcement, which would explain the seemingly magical undetected position.

So Steve, did the IS-3 make it in?

Belton Coopers book "Death Traps", mentions the one Super Pershing in Europe did see a least one battle. It fired a some sort of armour vechile, which the troops never went to identify, blowing it to smithereens, causing a immediate german withdrall
