Does the Sherman 105 and StuH have sights like a tank? Only jumped in the Wespe on Villers once but as I remembered if you wanted to tank hunt your only bet was firing from chase cam.

This all looks so beautiful, by the way. Crete has always been a favorite of mine and I'm beside myself with excitement for Falaise.

Both Sherman 105 and STUH had normal tank sights and where used as direct fire support in combat

While a 105 is only "One size up" of a 75mm tank shell, its effectiveness is easily 3 to 4 times

Wow! Absolutely stunning! Server admins are going to have one hell of a time to create the new map lists for 2.45 as there are so many beautiful reworked / new maps! It's nice to see that new life is being pumped
to old maps! (All that remains is a new improved Aberdeen!)

Re Crete: I too liked fighting over the rearmost flag but we'll see what the new setup offers us!

@Devs: You really should include an Easter egg kit on Crete, Sfakia and Mt Olympus with a deployable towel...you enter it and your character will lay sunbathing  ;D lol! Great job on all the maps!

In the meantime, it seems that Axis are getting a few "secret weapons" in the next patch...  ;D

But for some reason StuHs failed versus tanks. Also the shell drop increases.

They arent ment to fight tanks. Neither the Sherman 105 nor the STUH. But if a HE shell of them lands on a medium tank, be dam sure it did some damage. It wassent a reliable way tough


The SU/ISU152 on the other hand.

Or the Brummbar.

The sheer beauty of the map itself is too distracting. No wonder a lot of players go lonewolfing: they wonder around the maps like tourists.

Wait I am confused, the StuH42 is an infantry support vehicle equipped with a 105 mm howitzer. So does that mean it will be capable of indirect fire? I would think it would be tricky to fire a 105 mm HE round in direct support without killing a couple of your supporting infantry.

Direct fire. To destroy MG nests, bunkers and other fortified points as well as soft vehicles and just plain infantry.

Edit: Yes, tanks too.
