M3 Halftrack=.50CAL

[THeTA0123]

 If their was one thing that was known amongst the german forces, was the .50CAL. German halftrack drivers hated the .50CAL, because it easly penetrated their vehicle's.

FH2.2's .50CAL, cant do this. It is just a bigger .30CAL :s

It really should damage and be able to destroy Halftracks....

as stated on wikipedia

In the dual-purpose vehicle mount, the M2HB (heavy barrel) proved extremely effective in U.S. service: the Browning's .50 caliber AP and API rounds could easily penetrate the engine block or fuel tanks of a German Bf 109 fighter attacking at low altitude,[13] or perforate the hull plates and fuel tanks of a German half-track or light armored car.[7][14][15] While the dual-purpose mounting was undeniably useful, it did normally require the operator to stand when using the M2 in a ground role, exposing him to return fire.[16] Units in the field often modified the mountings on their vehicles, especially tanks and tank destroyers, to provide more operator protection in the anti-vehicular and anti-personnel role.[17] The weapon was particularly hated by the Germans, whose attacks against otherwise helpless stalled motor convoys were frequently broken up by .50 caliber machine gun fire.

In FH42 it took about 20-30 rounds to kill a hanomag....it really should be also in FH2.2.

.50 caliber eats hanomags and marders for lunch, wtf are you smoking? 

[Ts4EVER]

Tried it out, it damages light vehicles (and quite much, too)

[DLFReporter]

As Flippy said, wth have you been smoking?
It eats like a beast.

AH KILLED 2 MARDERS IN A ROW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! with it.

[von.small]

when crouched in the turret I would have preferred it if the gunner couldn't fire, - currently he/she can, or so I witnessed last night with that spinning firing douche that cut down a german squad using epic spray and pray.

Report as bug.

[THeTA0123]

oh..........thats   odd...........i was in a halftrack, and i unloaded a whole load of bullets at a Hanomag, and it dint died

[Havoc2090]

i think the british brengun carriers should have armour piercing rounds too, they seem pointless in fights sometimes....i only say this, because you could upgrade them in CoH:OF, etc...but then again i might be wrong, but i did see on a documentry that brengun carriers carried flamethrowers too! and added vickers machine guns aswell!.

[Fearbefore.]

Would love it if the Canadians got a few Wasps. Barbequed German defenders, anyone?

[THeTA0123]

I fired today on a Marder I, and it dint damaged it.

Are u guys sure u can kill marders with the .50CAL?

[Eat Uranium]

If you aim at the superstructure armour.

[verg_6]

I'n positive you can kill a Marder with an M2. I did just that a few days ago. It turned the 'protected' operator into swiss cheese, and after a dozen or so more rounds, the whole bloody thing went up.

[Fearbefore.]

I remember in FH1 you could take out Shermans with the .50 cal .
