I rarelly used the hellcat's APCR at the time because I was mostly flanking on the maps. The way I saw it, was that the Hellcat changed the meta of the game and having heavy armor and sitting at the base became less important.

Before, when all burgers had to counter tigers were the 76mm M4A1 and M4A2s it was a pain in the ass to kill them, and what I used to do then was fire the first AP shell at the commander's hatch, which killed the commander with the shell, and when the fragments bounced off the other side of the cupola they killed the gunner. It was pretty fun when that worked, since the Tigers didn't have their LFP visible most of the times.

It's a prototype tank with a gun it never had, it will never be added. If they planned on adding it though the asspain would reach critical levels. 120mm sloped at 50 degrees with a 300mm penetration 152mm gun would outclass everything else except for 7.7s.

I can only hope they add the ISU-152-2 sometime.

I quit the game for 6 months, and came back glad to see playing Americans is still suffering.

I know it's 'realistic' but it'd be nice if they could balance the game so you have a single fucking chance against aircraft at parity with you. Americans are the only faction in the game with aircraft that absolutely need at least a kilometer of height above their opponent at a higher energy state or you lose 100% of them time. Which might be balanced if American planes could ever get above the enemy but this realism simulator has dorks designed to intercept at 7,000m taking off on runways 30km from krauts designed for burst climb at low alt and japs that get air spawns

Lower glacis is glass so keep it behind cover. Only weak spot on the upper glacis is the MG port so try to limit exposure to the left side if you can. There's a very small shot trap on the bottom of the gun mantlet that you can negate by keeping the barrel aimed down into the dirt, which also protects the fuckhuge muzzle brake.

Keep that lower glacis shielded and you can take punishment from basically everything besides HEAT-FS .

>Let me state that the 20 pr is the best tk gun we have had so far once my tp spent a week sniping individual CHINAMEN at a range of 3,600 yds with a most satisfactory degree of success. (One morning we got two before breakfast). It will put a shot into a bunker mouth at a 4,000 yds, once ranging has been completed, although it may take up to three shells to put one right in. Therefore 4,000 yds is considered the economic max for pin point shooting with HE.

>However, the fragmentation of the HE round is poor. It appears to fragment in strips the length of the shell. I have seen two Chows bisected nearly at the navel, it's true, but on the other hand I've also landed a shell about six ft from the heels of a fleeing Chow and he showed NO effect other than a surprising degree of acceleration.

>For the same reason CENTURIONS also cross paddies in low gear. Now crossing paddies is strictly by guess and by God. However, here are a few pointers. You can't tell by looking at a paddy if a CENTURION will cross it It behoves the unfortunate tp/ldr to get out with a stick and prod. I carried one for this purpose (the other end of which was used for stirring the “all in“ stew) in the cleft between the gun mantlet and the turret. Now if this stick strikes hard mud at about 18" depth most of the way across then you have a 50-50.chance. .You then try with one tk. (It is considered bad form to have all tks bogged in, one paddy). If one tk crosses the others try in turn - in different tracks. Paddy bunds are another snag, as they are often hard enough to lift the front of the tk, thus 70% of the traction may be lost. If, you got track-slip on a bund, stop, and dig away the bund with the shovels so thoughtfully provided. This work is made much easier if a gang of local peasants can be found, but be sure you get the shovels back.

I'd like to know too. It sounds a bit far-fetched. During the Six-Day War Israeli gunners only managed to hit targets beyond 1.5 km with their Centurions.
>>
>During the Apr battle the need for a second MG was felt, as angry little men climbed on the top of the tks and beat on the hatches with fists and rifle butts. One answer was to charge through a mud house, but this was NOT thought to be the real answer, as it increased the shortage of houses already made obvious by zealous gunners. It was thought further that it was better to stop people getting on in the first place. Therefore .30 BROWNINGS were obtained, rumour has it at high cost (in gin), and mounted on the comds cupola. This has a dual advantage in that it solved the problem of the angry little men, and also prevented crew comds from being garrotted by signallers, with their customary homicidal tendencies towards tk men.
