109 Gustav Posted October 11, 2000 Share Posted October 11, 2000 <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Bullethead: The truth of the matter is as 109 Gustav states, as shown by the extensive series of stabilized crew bailing ballistics experiments carried out at Aberdeen Proving Ground in 1942. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Although Sherman crews weren't exactly stable, what with the stress caused by all the running away, bailing out etc. ------------------ Well my skiff's a twenty dollar boat, And I hope to God she stays afloat.

Henri Posted January 12, 2001 Share Posted January 12, 2001 <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by 109 Gustav: Doesn't "W+" stand for Woosh Plus- "not only a woosh, but a Ronson. Lights on the first time, every time? <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Are you sure? I thought that the + meant that it had been recaptured after being captured by the Germans who had painted the German cross on the tank.(In both cases, the tank was captured intact because once the crews realized what they were riding in, they abandoned the tank as soon as they saw something threatening -a squirrel would suffice)...

joeski Posted January 12, 2001 Author Share Posted January 12, 2001 What do you know! 3 months later and I lost 2 Hetzers last night both on first shots and it was turn 3! No improvment what-so-ever!! ------------------ "If you're in a war, instead of throwing a hand grenade at the enemy, throw one of those small pumpkins. Maybe it'll make everyone think how stupid war is, and while they are thinking, you can throw a real grenade at them." - Jack Handey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinnock Posted February 23, 2001 Share Posted February 23, 2001 I must admit, I had heard that the "W" suffix was not for WHOOSH but actually WHUMPH. This was indeed a tag for incediary properties. Tank repair crews soon found that WHUMPH was enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CupOHemlock Posted February 23, 2001 Share Posted February 23, 2001 I thank God that I have finally found a game with a fan base sporting a median IQ above 100. This is beyond my wildest dreams! Bravo Bullethead and I hope I too can one day become a true tank grog. CHL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Richard C. Giberson Posted February 23, 2001 Share Posted February 23, 2001 Wonderful! Bravo. Perhaps you can do a number on how the TIGERS survive after being hit more than 20 times by Shermans, T10's, Zooks and the kitchen sink? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
