Status: offline 		to be honest, in early battles against Japanese I like the M3, with the 37mm, 75mm and machine guns it can chew up soldiers as long as it stays clear of assaults.

I had an interesting series of turns with an M3 Scout car a couple weeks ago, with a 50 cal and two 30 cals it really ate up Italian infantry in North Africa. I hid it between two hills (this was against A.I.) and just routed squad after squad. After things started going very badly for the Italians I actually started to hunt down the stragglers with it. I almost regretted upgrading it to a Greyhound a few battles later. When used very carefully it's a sneaky little mobile machine gun nest.

But really, my fav above all: The StuH 42.

Status: offline 		The Sherman 105. With its 6 HEAT rounds it really keeps the German tanks honest too.

The German HTs with the short 75mm gun (Sdkfz 151/9?) are really nice too.

Regular Shermans are actually quite good infantry support weapons too. Just don't look at them crossly or they'll blow up on you.

V2, I can't believe you didn't list your Saharanias (sp?) as your Italian favorite.

Status: offline 		overall sherman 105.

but be careful with those, the splash damage is quite huge ( at least in H2H ). i fired and 2 german squads were routed, but my own supporting eng. squad in the same hex as the tank, too :eek:
