Status: offline 		Hey Sven , Ammo, Sorry for not getting right back....been out of town. I only brought up the Land Crusier because I thought it was outragous. Something that big would have been a nightmare to even get out of the design stage and no amount of camo would have saved it from air attack. Life-expectency would have been very low. I do think letting the Americans have a heavy tank is a great idea. A Jumbo Sherman can only stand up to the Tigers for so long. You have to admit though the idea off driving around something 35 meters long, powered by submarine diesels would be a hoot.

That shot gets the gist of the look of it. The only really odd thing about it is the 37mm coax would make it look like a two cannoned turret. sven p.s. I am still trying to find or get one.

What I would like to have is a T34 with german long 75mm. Could it get better? ;) I would think the Soviets would have tried that experimentaly. Any info???

Status: offline 		A side note: It's suicide and extremely uneconomic to build monsters like the P1000 and P1500 when the enemy has air superiority...how easy is it not to hit a tank that occupies 400m^2 of ground? :D

No, but I am looking into it. I shall either measure them myself or delve deeper to find the angle. Thanks for your effort. sven

I have gathered as much. Fascinating read. Dr. Atwater loves Hunnicut, and Hogg. regards,

Warhorse, you wrote in May that you had icons for the M6 and the Black Prince. Are they posted somewhere or could you e-mail them to me. I enjoy 'what if' situations and they would be lots of fun. Maybe as a surprise for the Russians in 1946.

Status: offline 		They are in the full version of v7, we wanted to get teh patch out, and neglected to put the shp files in the patch. I will see if I can find them and make them available. Brent? Have you got them handy? Or were they in 6.1? It was unit 204 I think.

Status: offline 		Thanks Paul.
Checked my current 6.1, US Army slot 204 is empty so a prime candidate for a new unit.
Appreciate your including sure a rare beast for those of us interested in such.
Very interesting to discover that the full version may include bits and pieces not in the upgrade. Will definately download the full version when available.
Thanks again

Something big'n silly for the Brit's would be just the trick old boy, eh what? Regards R.
The plural would be "Mäuse".
Eine Maus - viele Mäuse
one mouse - many mice
