Boys AT Rifle:
Don't see why the Russians should get all the fun
I see nothing bad coming from this |
I bet you that the 17 PDR is going to be like the pak-43, no matter how it actually was IRL.
They can say it uses APDS rounds and just call it a day. |
Hmm? The 17 pdr with APDS was even marginally better than the 88mm L/71. I put my bets on the 17 pdr being a static at gun like the pak-43.
Pretty much the 17 pdr emplacement from CoH1. A static heavy allied AT gun besides the B-4. |
You can't be serious dude. To constantly have one of the weakest commanders in my line-up to counter a 0CP ability. Not cool.
I wouldn't consider Spearhead Doctrine weak. I can agree with you on Festung Support though. |
what I don't want to see is a similar play style to OF, the turtle style wasn't characteristic of the Brits during ww2 nor was the gameplay compelling. "Let's set up shop lads, jerry won't know what hit em!" |
So at the beginning of the stream tonight, did anyone else catch Cynthia saying keep an eye out on the social media for announcements? What do you guys think it will be? Confirming (what we already know) British faction? New commanders? |
All I want is an actual heavy tank counter. None of this Soviet mediocre dual purpose shit, or US mobile but lighter AT shit. Just a big ass AT gun that will make german players think twice about charging tigers straight into my front lines. 17 pounder was the heaviest AT gun the allies had. Soooo long German heavy rush! |
Remind me again how sloped Tigers 120mm was again? That should show some reference.
Good point. |
They were used very sparingly in Europe, actually. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/showthread.php?t=42815
Constant modifications like more armor and a bigger gun made it somewhat usable. But very few were used for combat...
I love the upped armor, up gunned Valentines. |
