Christ, no.

The thing on the thing with the picture. Duh. See. I can be less specific. The Sherman's turret armour in CM:AK (and previous iterations) is 89/0 - so 89mm with a 0 degree slope. Vertical armour, like on the Churchill, Crusader etc. And here is the photo to which I refer: That is just not, in any way, 0 degrees.

As to your query about Grants, are you sure you are not confusing survival with the Death Clock? Check out details about it in the CM:BB Forum in my 'Frequently-asked questions' thread. If you are still not sure, run some tests - 10 88s vs 10 Grants, and watch the films from both sides.

The damage you can see on the War & Peace Show photo is from the tank being used as a target for firing tests. It was the first Grant shipped over to the UK by the Americans and was taken to a test site. There, all the paint was stripped off (to reduce flammability and ensure that the penetration shots were visible) and it was shot at an awful lot to test its resilience. I imagine the damage is from a 37mm or 2pdr gun but no details were given.

Can anyone tell me why the Sherman's armour in CM:AK is rated as 89/0 ? I don't know the armour thickness so will take it as correct, but 0 degrees? Take a look at photo 0110 from the War & Peace Show link - it's a Sherman Firefly. It definitely isn't a 0 degree armour slope. Certainly, some Shermans have a 0 degree slope, but not all. Just my :mad: after losing 3 Fireflies at 1,600m to a StuGIV. A marginal armour slope or a 'curved' rating would have saved them. Here's hoping that Shermans in CMX2 (which will be WW2, Jamoomba has spoken into my skull at night) will have a more thorough appraisal of their armour sloping.

She was a bit gothy, but essentially you're right.

That's your lunch sorted out then.

I agree. Dave is a non-TNT-chucking pizzle gulper.

You what? :mad: :mad: I was ruling the Waffle thread whilst you were wondering whether or not curling one out in your pants was a good career move. :mad: :mad:

Yes you are. Your constant antipathy towards Dorosh and your comprehensive knowledge of the forum gives it away. Can't the local school get a restraining order against you?

I doubt that. My suspicion is release won't occur until April/May of 2006.

This is a better thread than the new one, because it has more :mad: :mad: :mad: in it.

I took it more as a Soddoff myself. </font>

oooooohhhh.

I would like CMx2 to give me a foot massage and bring me a beer whilst I'm playing it.

It's a blue oil drum that's now used as a receptable for rubbish. If you mean the tank, it's a Hellcat. To its right is a 76mm Sherman, and beyond that a Chaffee.

Ok, well memberships at TPG keep rising, so perhaps I'm wrong. I hope so! </font>
