Talking of the Churchill, is the top mounted mg going to be keept, dispite how it messed up the animation and grenade ability?
I tested this and compared it to a panther, with a main gun crit. So just it's MGs.
Vet 1 Panther without cuppola gun wiped an IS directly in front of it ( both MGs bearing ) in 48 seconds. Vet 1 Churchill with pintle, hull and coax 54 seconds..
Anyone who says the Panther isn't good against inf is flat wrong.
With the Panther upgraded with the cuppola it was 20 seconds.
So I thought maybe the Churchill has the AI advantage, it is after all meant to be an AI focussed heavy compared to a generalist medium in the Panther, when several squads are surrouning it via it's crew defence guns on the sides. Panther still wiped three squads in half the time.
The Churchill's pintle is effectively another coax, it only fires where the turrent is facing. Also the side defence guns and the hull gun seem to have very narrow cones.
