The thing on the thing with the picture. Duh.Originally posted by JonS:Could you be any less specific?
Which part of the Sherman are you talking about?
Which link from the W&P thread (last I counted there were about 6)?
Details man, details. They make the world go round.
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.Originally posted by Prinz Eugen_2:And the header of this thread must be the worst ever seen in Cheery Waffles.
Congratulations, Dave. You've reached a new low. You continue to surprise me; whenever I've thought you couldn't go any lower... Hope you go Down in Flames. :mad: :mad: :mad:

You what? :mad: :mad:Originally posted by Wallybob:'cept Soddball. He's really a Penguin, but hangs out here every now and then.
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.Originally posted by Tagwyn:All Michaels: I am not Gaylord or Focker! Save your unearned antipathy for throwing stones elsewhere! Tag
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.Originally posted by Europa:I can feel it in the wind. The signs are clearer than ever. Peng now has quit the weed and challanged everyone, the depot is saddly gone and the bones are becoming frequent. the time for a new era is close. CMx2 will be released before this years end, mark my words.

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

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.

:mad: And after I went to all that effort to find you rubber road tracks for your weasel.Originally posted by Battlefront.com:(pushing Soddoffball aside for a sec...)
The best thing to do is not second guess what the hardware requirements will be. We'll let you know as soon as we have a good fix on it, but pesonally I wouldn't do anything until the demo comes out. The reason is that the new and used hardware available at that time will be better and cheaper than the stuff available today. We'll also know which cards work best with the game and (hopefully) which ones suck.
OK, Soddball... you can come back in now
