DEY Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 I found this article on the US M3 halftrack, 75mm Gun Motor Carriage. Maybe there is few that hasn't seen this before. http://www.chars-francais.net/kithobbyist/m3gmc2.htm Has some nice pics also. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soddball Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Good pictures, but not sure they are real. All the M3 GMCs I have played with in CM:AK have flames pouring out of them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyD Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 You'll notice the American gun's got the same breech as that German 75mm AT gun using a French barrel and 50mm gun carriage - I can't recall the designation. The German barrel's been chopped down and given a muzzle brake. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throwdjohn Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 has anyone used the 75 halftrack gmc succesfully against armor of any kind (light or otherwise) they seem worthless to me unless you KNOW there is no kind of AT on the map AT ALL (inculding at rifles and large rocks) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're useful - sometimes - as a mobile ambush unit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throwdjohn Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 king, i have played the scenario, but i didnt finish it. blame my attention span, not the scenario it was pretty fun. but tedious. trying to KO armor with those things is an excercise in shoot and scoots for 10 turns with 4 diffrent HTs per kill. forgot to ask, they cant be used as indirect fire weapons like mortars can they? im assuming not, which is why ive never tried. thatd be cool though huh? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends. Minimum range for them might be more than the length of the board. I don't know. Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
