Lt Belenko Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Could it be a dead cow flavor object? Or possibly a motorcycle with side-car. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Judging from the outline its definitely Luke Skywalker's hovercar from the first Star Wars movie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pak40 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 heh... a little more uncertainty than I thought there would be. Well done Webwing for the unusual perspective that allowed for some uncertainty Pak40, Not a good assumption First, the timeframe for the entire Normandy Family stops at September. Nothing introduced after September is being included now or in the future. The next Western Front Family takes things from October through the final days of the war. Second, Market Garden is really and truly focused on Market Garden and not the entire front. Future Packs will expand the Normandy Family's component pieces for the entire June-September timeframe. The first Pack is almost definitely going to contain the much requested "Funnies" and oddball stuff that the Germans threw at the Allies in the early days of the landings. Which ones specifically are yet to be determined. Steve Well, crud! My assumption was based on logic since even OMG really bleeds into the "Island" actions in October 44. The end of October seemed the obvious stopping point for the CMBN family. But once again BF has defied logic 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ithikial_AU Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 M1 Abrams... which had a flux capacitor installed and got up to 88 miles per hour! (While being struck by lightning therefore generating the 1.21 gigawatts). My vote goes with an M18. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 About CMBN timeframe. Don't think vehicles, think foliage. Stopping the end of September meant CMBN stays a 'summer' title. Transitioning the whole title over to fall ground and foliage would've been a bit of a monster with very little bang for the buck. Eisenhower spent much of October stabilizing the front, all of the German armor west of the Rhine was pretty much dead. Starting the Hurtgen battles in Oct. would've meant ending 'em halfway through the fight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broadsword56 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 So, if I understood the release categories correctly, MG starts a whole new Sept '44 to end of war "family" ? And that's good, because families add game features while modules only add content (?) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonS Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 No, otherway around. MG and September-44 bookmarks the end of the CMBN-family timespan. AIUI, the Bulge-family (or whatever it ends up being called) will span Oct-44 - May-45 on the Western Front. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where did you get that from? I am genuinely puzzled since all along BFC has stated quite clearly that it will be the last module of the Normandy family. :confused: Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umlaut Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 So to reformulate old Winnie C´s famous quote (assuming the invasion of Normandy could be called the beginning of the end): The MG module is not the beginning of the end of the end, but the end of the beginning of the end. http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/w/winstonchu163144.html 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael I recall him saying that it most likely would be a pack but that they werent sure.

Lt Belenko Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 He just stated it on page page 2; I'm thinking the final pack won't be released until the flame/fire issues have been conquered with the possibility of FTs and Crocs included. I know they are working hard on this one. It must be a real tough effort. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sequoia Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Back to the original question: It seems to me the general consensus is that it's a Hellcat. If we're right do we win a full screenshot? Or can you at least tell us to keep guessing? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oddball_E8 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Well it is definately an open-top turret so allied tank destroyer is the best bet. Judging from the (limited) look of the chassi I would say M18. M36 used the same chassi as the M10 and they dont have that look to the rear part of it. That said, the gun is lacking the muzzle brake that the M18 had. So my best guess would be the M36B1 that uses the sherman chassi with he 90mm armed turret that went on the M36. And those 90mm guns didnt always have a muzzle brake. EDIT: seems i spoke too soon. Some M18 models did not have a muzzle brake (ive only seen them with one tho) so its a bit of a tossup. But my bet is still on the M36B1 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webwing Posted August 15, 2013 Author Share Posted August 15, 2013 The full picture(along with many others) will be found in the MG screenshots gallery very soon. The mystery then will be over.

ZPB II Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Surprised that there aren't any posts claiming this is a conspiracy by BFC to get people to purchase the scandalous MG module. The same module that shot both Kennedy and Palme. Who am I kidding, bought every module since CMSF days. I don't see myself making an exception. I am hoping it's an M36. Finally the Amis would get something that can reliably ventilate big cats from the front. EDIT: The more I look at the geometry of the rear hull corner and the front lights the more I think it looks like an M18. Which is almost equally cool. Speedy bugger. Bound to be used in too many gamey ways to even describe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
