Hows the Ostwind???

Much better than the Wirbelwind, since it has higher AP power and shoots continuously. Having only one barrel means it's a bit harder to aim for aircraft though, but still good.

Great to hear! Off to the ostwind then!

QUAD

I'LL PUNCTURE THE NEXT THING THAT MOVES

[Musti]

Yea! Now all we need is M18 hellcat and we're done.

Imagine that thing on a capping streak @ 88 km/h. Its going to have captured a territory already before the other team even arrives at theirs.

I wonder which Heavies will the US get at the high tiers, T29s, while they didn't see combat they can actually "fit" in the game.

Pershing now, will it be a Heavy or a Medium?.

[THeTA0123]

In the USA doctorine,the pershing was a heavy tank. The super pershing can be used as a follow up since it actually saw combat. This can be followed up by the M46 47 48 patton "medium" tanks. And the M103

Early tank tree (the German and Soviet ones were quite accurate) estimated a T29 for the 'prototype' heavy tank line (consisting of various odd tanks like the M6), and a T32 for the historical line (consisting of M26, Super Pershing, etc.).

The M26 Pershing was considered a heavy tank untill redesignation after the war, and will be treated as such probably. There's an M26 variant in the medium tree though.

[THeTA0123]

The reason why the M26 became a medium tank after WW2 is because of a weird, american classification system. After WW2, tanks with gun calibre under 90mm became light tanks, Tanks with a 90mm gun became medium tanks and above became heavy tanks (the 3 tank calibres of the US army became 76.2mm, 90mm and 120mm)

By WW2 standards, the pershing is however a heavy tank, because it is heavier then the american M4 sherman medium tank.

if you kill 5 enemies during the special, you get a random free aircraft.

I got a crappy He-51 though :/

[Battlefieldfan45 (CroPanzer)]

lol me too, I was hoping for that TB-3 bomber 

[Torenico]

I got that He-51 too, like I will ever need it...

[Musti]

Same here, seems everyone got that shitty He-51, goddamn it.
