Its a common Allied tank. Its not THAT surprising that its here. Something more rare like captured French tanks/tank turrets would have a better surprise factor.

tank turrets would be important for Omaha.

It IS possible on the BF2 engine to disable tanks.

From the PR mod changelog for .86:
Quote
added 360 degree Commander periscope to all APC driver positions to simulate a Commander/Driver combo (like the tanks).
- changed Tranport Helicopter damage system - they now have twice the amount of HP, but get their engine disabled around 70% HP. This means crash landings will be much more common and gives passengers chance to escape more often.
- added crewman kit requirement for all tank cupola gunners.

^ now that would be cool to see in the mod :) im already really happy at these captured french artillery pieces for Point du hoc. seeing other captured stuff like that would really add to the immersion... Great job Toddel these all look f#%$ing amazing! keep up the great work devs this Normandy patch is coming together stunningly. can't wait to see more

Sorry if I'm dense, but how does that quote prove that it's possible to disable tanks in BF2?

Also, what does that have to do with the current topic?  did you post this in the wrong thread?

apparently so.
By 'disabling' tanks, though, i meant 'stopping them'. That's what a few people have been complaining about.

You mean the thing where the tank's suspension gets all screwy at certain damage percentage that was in FH 2.0?  I'm all for getting that back in game.  But I'm sure the Devs removed it for a reason.

In regards to the quote thing, I guess your referring to the part where the engine on helicopters gets disabled?  That's already in FH2 for planes.

Beautiful update :D

Another qeustion how many shrek shots can the churchill take from each side before being blown up?

Should be 1 to destroy from any side, considering the Panzerschreck penetrates between 200-220mm of armour, which means any tank used in combat in WW2 can be knocked out, from any side.  Panzerfausts had the same penetration as well.

D'oh!  I almost forgot:

The Churchill looks lovely.  Crazy turtle thing is always nice to roll around in, feeling relatively safe while slaughtering the enemy.

And the AVRE: I'd love to blast apart bunkers and stuff with that bigass spigot mortar.

Then if the Tiger tank can survive a shot from the 17pounder, i will be deeply dissapointed  :-\
