The Achilles

[spayor]

Now maybe I introduce this topic a bit late, in light of the fact that CMBB and, especially, CMAK seem to be now dominating everyone's thoughts. Nonetheless, has anyone ever noticed a glitch in the Achilles' front lower turret, which is the color of the turret interior but has NO EXTERIOR texture?

I went back to the original BTS graphics and there it is! I suppose there's nothing that can be done about it?

Thoughts anyone?

The Achilles doesn't have a turret, luv.

Isn't Achilles the M10? You might be thinking of Archer, Michael...

[Kingfish]

It doesn't? I thought the Achilles was a Wolverine armed with a 17pdr. At least thats how BFC has it modeled.

Maybe you are thinking of the Archer.

And even the Archer has a turret. Sort of. Well, ok, a superstructure, but it isn't much of a stretch to call it a turret.

Oops, sorry. I read "Achilles" but was thinking Archer. I will now go commit sepuku to atone for my idiocy.

A turret has to rotate to be called a turret, doesn't it? I mean, unless we are talking about part of a castle...

All right, all right! Enough about turrets already!

Michael, don't call me luv, son.

Have any of you noticed what I'm talking about, provided any of you can find the turret-not-superstructure on the M-10-Wolverine-with-a-17lbr-called-Achilles-not-Archer?

I could be wrong, but could it be a casemate?
