Status: offline 		Hi Guille! I am playing HH campaign and I'm really enjoin it! Intro text says that if I want to play historically I have to choose a M4A3 Sherman Platoon.
I did so.
I have lost one of my tanks during first battle (minor victory). I'm now at fix & rebuilt screen and I have enough points as to upgrade my lost tank to an Easy 8 or a M-10.
My question is: may I buy one of this or have I to fix my M4A3?
I want to play historically.

M-10s would be historically accurate, and they might be able to spot Huns better....but the again, yer open top isn't gonna be much help to yer crew when the arty starts bursting in the tree tops, sending schrapnel and debris raining down on yer heads.

I agree with you on that. But thats the chance you take in combat.

Love the graphics Ross!! Actually, I wasn't thinking of historical accuracy - more of self preservation. I'll have dig out my old dusty book on the Hurtgen - I'm sure your right - but it doesn't hurt to look.
