E5K Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 I would be interested in peoples assessment of the Pershing. There are accounts of them knocking out and being knocked out by tigers etc. We have all seen the Panther V Pershing film from Cologne. But flank shots at point blank range is hardly a good example. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artkin Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 (edited) The 90mm gun on the pershing never seemed to perform anywhere near the 88mm kwk43. The armor totally sucks too. The only benefit is its low profile I guess. The turret face is tiny. Way too little way too late. Although I understand why they didn't ditch the sherman and instead upgunned it. Would love to have it ingame but literally nothing can touch the axis armor in any title lmao. Edited March 8, 2021 by Artkin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These were split between the 3rd and 9th Armored Divisions and were the first of 310 M26s to reach Europe before the end of the war. Of these, around 20 saw combat. I would however like to fight against and with them in-game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheap and plentiful Fireflies pretty much shut down the German heavy armour in QBs involving the CW forces. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(rolls eyes vigorously) Actually I have put more hours in CMFI than every other title combined in the past couple months. Also I formally redact my harsh comments on the lack of content in this title. There are a ton of missions and once you break down the campaigns with a 3rd party campaign tool... there is a lot to play with. I love smashing maps with 30cm nebelwerfers and then storming maps with pioneer battalions (90% rifles) playing WWI. Fun stuff. I forgot they were in that one. I never think of them when I think of Italy. Edited March 14, 2021 by Artkin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexUK Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Would be cool to have some of the other small arms the Germans used that have not yet made an appearance (maybe some are already in CMRT module). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how close they were actually deployed to the frontlines. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_101 Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 I wasn't aware there was a new module on its way. CMFB is my favourite of the series! Do we have any details about the new module? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had reliability issues due to the engine and transmission I believe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artkin Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Makes sense, but they definitely would have still been stomped in a conventional war. The pershings armor is just too weak. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtsjc1 Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 I agree if you're gonna put a 90mm gun in there the crew should have better armor protection. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

user1000 Posted April 21, 2021 Author Share Posted April 21, 2021 On German soil did equipment and armor from the Eastern front get moved to defend the western side of Germany. As we know US didn't see many variants of German tanks and half tracks as the Soviets did. Did Germany have it's own armor and units to defend the land that never left the country? I think this would have been hard to do with dual front war. Were German factories pushing tanks out like the soviets did or was production impossible due to bombing? What factories were still outputting armor? What was the situation for fuel and ammo? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockinHarry Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 (edited) couple of things that are likely not going to get work in that module. I hope for some "surprises" though. Edited April 29, 2021 by RockinHarry 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same low performance, flickering shadows and graphical glitches. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
