Re: Canada's Anti-Aircraft Sherman
 

holy sh*t, very nice nerv ever herd of it whao, they said there re-skinning the sherman or w/e what about adding this into the game a shermans lovers dream!

Re: Canada's Anti-Aircraft Sherman
 

You haven't seen my AA mod sherman, right?

Re: Canada's Anti-Aircraft Sherman
 

for those air-heavy late war maps

Re: Canada's Anti-Aircraft Sherman
 

I'd still like to see a M16 Multiple Gun Motor Carriage in FH.

Re: Canada's Anti-Aircraft Sherman
 

Was the Skink even used? I did hear somewere it saw almost no use, mainly because it entered in service when the luftwaffe was as large as a small aviation club.

Re: Canada's Anti-Aircraft Sherman
 

Since there were almost no german planes in the air anymore, the Skink was used as heavy infy support. One would think that 4 20mm cannons would be rather good at that, yes?

Re: Canada's Anti-Aircraft Sherman
 

Humm... If it ever comes in game, wich would be cool anyways, it should not spawn very fast, as its use was similar to that of the Maus.. Not that I don't want canadian vehicules (hell, i am canadian) but I think that AA halftracks would suit the role better because of the above reason.

Re: Canada's Anti-Aircraft Sherman
 

yeh

Re: Canada's Anti-Aircraft Sherman
 

I think this would be much better, but we'd need a new M3A1 APC Halftrack model:

The M16 M-GMC is a great vehicle, hell, it's one of the main reasons i play BG42.

I don't think the Snink should be in the mod, only two complete vehicles were built, several turrets were also constructed. IIRC only one Skink was shipped to Europe, so it's a very rare beast indeed. If it were to be included in the mod it should at least be behind the Jagdtiger and Sturmtiger in terms of importance.

Re: Canada's Anti-Aircraft Sherman
 

IIRC only one or two Skink were used in combat with Canadian troops either in Holland or Germany in 1945. And then it was used for infantry fire suppport.

Re: Canada's Anti-Aircraft Sherman
 

damn...realy cool veichle indeed! :D

But as almost all of u have said, too few produced, and that Half-Track AA was much more used I think...

:)

Re: Canada's Anti-Aircraft Sherman
 

the BFE minimod has the m16.......only seen it on two maps though

Re: Canada's Anti-Aircraft Sherman
 

if this thing makes it into the mod, i want the kugelblitz also.

Re: Canada's Anti-Aircraft Sherman
 

Yeh, but candians have not alot of tanks so I would like to have this thing spawn like mabey half-way in to the game, like when EX. 1000 tickets decreases to 500 tickets than the Candian A-A sherman spawns... Come on me we have flamethrower sherman, what about an A-A sherman, looking at it is so great! and for you photoshop mainacs u could like make sumthing titled "Sherman Family" and have the Sherman, Sherman 105 mm, Sherman POA, and Sherman Anti-Aircraft, lined up by eachother...

Re: Canada's Anti-Aircraft Sherman
 

Hell I'll allow this thing just for the Kugelblitz. Both would be on Alpen and would be interesting. The Duster is good but I'd rather have a Verling like vehicle for those jets when they pass.

Re: Canada's Anti-Aircraft Sherman
 

The thing is, almost every SPAAG (self propelled AA gun) saw most of its action as infantry fire support. This is not something bad, or something that should be avoided. Its fine, its realistic, and imposing weird anti-ground-use restrictions on AA vehicles is uncool.

Things like the Sdkfz222 not being able to see the ground, or the Sdkfz7 w/ Vierling not being able to shoot at 90 degrees. The real ones could. They made awesome anti-infantry weapons.

They would in FH too, if 20/25/30mm weapons had splash damage. They dont, even though they carry HE in the warhead (except for extremely early war Brittish naval 20mm guns).

37mm/40mm guns have unrealistic and weird looking effects. The 40mm hit is a slightly larger 20mm hit, but the splash damage is WAY bigger then the explosion. 37mm is a little more realistic.

Since the 2pdr is 40mm and the Bofors is 40mm, they should have the same hit effect against ground targets. The tank shell explode.
