P4 because it saw a lot of combat. Sherman is also a good choice, but P4 was present in all fronts of the war, versus different technology and different military doctrine.

Not a fan of comet since it didn't see a lot of combat (AFAIK only a couple of encounters).

Panzer IV - this is me in one! I'm 5foot 11, these things were so freaking cramped inside, horrible. Barely got in to the hull gunner position, couldn't think of a worse way to go to war.

I could. Well, at least an equally bad way: T-34 was just as cramped, if not more D:

I heard the first British tank operations in WW1 frequently ended with its crew being unable to continue prematurely because of how goddamn hot it was inside them.

Not only that crew suffered from exhaust fumes inhalation, as the engine was open and in the centre of the tank, exhausts and proper ventilation came in later models.

Also British tankers did not wear helmets until 1943, they wore berets. It's the only time I've ever heard the phrase 'dislocated brain' to describe what happened to a churchill crew member after their tank rolled down a dune in North Africa.

A Mark IV, went up and down over a bunker knocking a crew unconscious during a demonstration for King George V in WW1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_0i_g2PpEU

It was used in the late of World War 2 (Market Garden for example). It makes perfect sence to cover it

I'm curious to know why the T-34 is designed with the turret so far forward, while nearly every other tank has it located centrally. Which seems the more intuitive place to put it.

Engine layout mostly, but check out the BT-5. See any similarities? :P

Willy Pete: @Rosbone Ahh I missed that memo. I still think its a bad decision though. Adds frustration for players and isnt gonna make them that much money
Last Thursday, 15:46 PM
Rosbone: It is also good they left it free until after the free to play weekend. Points for that.
Last Thursday, 09:34 AM
Rosbone: But I agree, the cost to get a full decent Coh game pushing $115 US is not the best idea. Especially when it needs so much more work for casuals.
Last Thursday, 09:32 AM
Rosbone: To be fair, it was a thank you to early fans right? They said it was not free for long and it would become a pay DLC at some point.
Last Thursday, 09:30 AM
Willy Pete: Re-releasing free DLC so they can charge new players money for it. Brilliant marketing strategy :clap:

Nickbn: @Rosbone it's incredibly rude to speak on someone elses behalf, especially when a question is directly adressed to them. I understand your passion for the subject at hand but I want to hear from him.
20 Mar 2025, 10:16 AM
Rosbone: @Nickbn No, I am just saying people should not be using any Relic owned forum since they have proven they ban anyone who says true things about Coh3.

Nickbn: @Rosbone do you speak on his behalf? I didn't know. In that case keep us updated please.
