OMG SQUEE


..sorry. Some of those look HILARIOUS. Likely to be truly terrible tanks, but will be a blast for me to drive for the 'Aha! look at me! I am RIDICULOUS!' factor.

That gun looked huge, so I looked up the tank here.   It should only be a 75mm, but certainly looks bigger in that image.

Also looks at like the American T28, but is a SGP.

I wonder why on the alpha french tree the SAU 40 is classified as an AT SPG and not Tank Destroyer. Why not just make it a little clearer?

Probably because a lot of the time (In real life) Self Propelled Guns referred to both Self Propelled Artillery and Tank Destroyers, basically being Anti-Tank guns or artillery pieces mounted on a chassis, thus both are Self Propelled Guns.

FCM 2C Bis, basically a FCM 2C whose 75mm was replaced by a 155mm.

It's an 'assault spg' under the tree. An SPG with armour? o.O

That turret... that will be a huge weak spot... :S

But multi turret tech they're bringing in for the french tree..Would that turret be usable with say, a 37mm to ward off lights?

Yes, it would, after a few patches, that is. Multi-turret has been delayed and is now coming after French tanks.

That would..cripple some of the french tanks. Do you have a source on that? :x

That's going to be terrible for the B1 and the like.  :o

Dominatus's Photo Dominatus Oct 01 2011

Maybe not. Supposedly, the top 4.7cm gun on the B1bis has very high penetration.

something like the 5cm L/60 most likely  :mellow:
without its hull gun, the B1 will be a PzIII moving at half the speed  <_<

Given how well tier 4 heavies are treated by the MM, something akin go the the 5cm gun would actually turn out reasonably well.

Personally, considering the lower damage of the 47mm plus maybe a lower rof (to simulate the one-man turret), I think it wouldn't be a bad thing to have the real penetration values of the 47mm SA37.
