Colin Posted November 10, 2000 Share Posted November 10, 2000 Forgot about the Staghound. I wish it could be added in if just to give the Canadians some armed recon vehicles. ------------------ And if we abandon any platform, I can assure you it will not be the Macintosh. -Steve My website!

Tris Posted November 10, 2000 Share Posted November 10, 2000 Which ever one is commanded by that guy "W.B. Wilder". That dude is out of control. I once saw him take out a Panther G, a Hetzer, a Kingtiger, and 3 kubelwagons, all with one shot! I remember seeing something similar on one of those Walt Disney Davy Crockett features with Mike Fink on TV when I was small . . . but that was ages ago and time does have a way . . . .

Vanir Posted November 10, 2000 Share Posted November 10, 2000 In CM: Probably the Churchhill VII. The only Brit or American tank that looks bad-ass and can take a beating. ------------------ Most people assume that the M in US vehicle designations means "Model". Thus, the Medium Tank M4 Sherman would be the "Model #4" Medium tank. This is incorrect. The M actually stands for "Mortality" and the number represents the life expectancy of the vehicle in minutes. - Bullethead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chupacabra Posted November 10, 2000 Share Posted November 10, 2000 Bad-ass? I'd characterize it more as "squat and ugly," but to each his own, I suppose ------------------ Grand Poobah of the fresh fire of Heh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Germanboy Posted November 10, 2000 Share Posted November 10, 2000 <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by PawBroon: Doesn't surprise me you Canuck.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> They had one at Bovington - very nice AC, much better than the German 8-wheel trash or the Greyhound for looks. Once I have the film developed I post a picture of it here. Oh, and the Churchill really just looks funny - such a big tank. Such a puny gun on it... ------------------ Andreas <a href="http://www.geocities.com/greg_mudry/sturm.html">Der Kessel</a > Home of „Die Sturmgruppe“; Scenario Design Group for Combat Mission.

Cpt Miller Posted November 10, 2000 Share Posted November 10, 2000 King Tiger is by far the best tank in the game, untouchable from the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chupacabra Posted November 10, 2000 Share Posted November 10, 2000 ...untouchable front the front, but it dies real pretty to side and rear shots from even a lowly Sherman 75. Or a zook, for that matter. I'd take a Mark IV or a Panther over a KT. Actually, even that's not necessarily true - I've seen Hellcats kill KTs from the front. Not even a weak spot penetration, just a plain kill. Jacksons, ditto. And if they load tungsten, just about anything has at least a shot at a frontal kill. ------------------ Grand Poobah of the fresh fire of Heh.

Several hits but not a single penetration. Cheers Olle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
