M26 Pershing - Page 6

***FryaDuck*** · January 9th, 2004

There is more than one way to skin a cat. History shows for the western allies airpower & artillery compensated for their lack of armoured capability. So if we look at BotB what mostly stopped the germans was artillery, with infantry and some tanks. The artillery could be anything up to 155mm which when fired into the base on the map would be quite devastating, certainly adequate compensation for inadequate tanks. Where an Air element is used against the Axis, they would get the balancing AA vehicle.

It seems obvious to me if they were to include the M26 then the likely hood of their being various Axis tanks cabable of countering it. Nashorn, King Tiger, JagdTiger, Tiger well all the "animals" as the Soviets called them.

I think the Pershing would be a very welcome candidate. So what if it wasn't as widely produced as it's opponent. Again we just need to switch a bit of realism for balance. Offcourse we can put in more Shermans and stuff, but everyone would just join the Axis team to camp for a TigerII. Meanwhile, a lucky close to the KT spawner, is picking of the Shermans one by one, as on public servers theres rarely any teamplay (attacking in waves for example). That's how I see it.

You were saying?

Look, the M16 feeds from a direct gas system. It IS fundamentally flawed. Not to mention the damn thing's way too tight for military tolerances. I'm welcome to have my mind changed. Tell me it ISN'T fundamentally flawed. Prove it. The other articles are from G2mil, which IIRC knows very much so where it's coming from.

Wow...it's on the internet it must be how it is. So, you have no opinion other than what you read on that page? You haven't thought about it? You just parrot what they say?

I would submit to you that there's more than one viewpoint and you'd be better informed with multiple sources and real-world experience. There's a difference between someone TELLING you how the system works (with an obvious agenda and clueless to other factors) and someone USING the equipment that is the end result of that supply chain. The earlier method will only get you so far before you run into someone with the later and knows your full of it.

This isn't an argument. You know about as much about G2mil as you do about the M16. You believe what you want. I'm telling you that to have such a staunch opinion that you share as God's own truth based on the editorializing of a website is not the best method of validating ideas.

Moving on....

I know the M26 had low numbers in WWII...and I know that FH is a realism mod. But I think if there was ONE vehicle that saw actual COMBAT it should be a viable candidate for the game. M-26, Jumbo, Calliope! There weren't many, but they were there. Same thing goes for allied and axis...there are already Me262's...and isn't there a model of the Go229 on the FH homepage? Come on...it had one powered flight. But I don't mind it being there...

Vehicle spawn times can fix all my friends.

I don't see why everyone is looking for a US tank to counter the King Tiger, Tiger I, and the Panther? There wasn't one that we could use in the mod ans still call it a realism mod.

Use Airpower! That's what they used! And in Maps like Battle of the Bulge use Stationary AT-Guns and defensive fortifications.
