Commonwealth fireflys VS. two King Tigers
« on: December 23, 2009, 08:50:51 AM »
I was playing a game and noticed my friend liked tanks so I got the map was red ball express (not my favorite) I got a crap load of these Firefly tanks I never really used them before until then. My friend made a move to take a point with ONE sherman and then I saw 2 panthers, 3 hummels, 1 panzer 4 and a king tiger! I just went for it, then I saw I was winning my 7 fireflys and 1 churchill tank! When the the fight was over I lost 2 fireflys and the churchill. While they lost the hummels the King tiger and 1 panther. Never new that the Commonwealth had such a mighty (and cheap) tank

 - Well, the Firefly (This one has canadian flag markings!!!) is
 the british Marder3. Xcept it's 2 pop more and has NORMAL
 sherman armor (Less than american +MG sherman)(It's a M2
 not an M4). But it's 140% range and has godly anti tank
 abilities ;) ... ... ... but it's a *LOT* better with the HQ
 cromwell along (around +40% efficiency) ;) Rawr.
 
 ... It's not that cheap. 100 fuel? And it's got less armor
 than regular sherman (Not much though). And it's SPECIALIZED. It sucks against infantry. And up close.
 Think of it as an up-armored Marder3 with a turret ;)

 DO NOT use it as a tank. Let churchill or cromwell (Not
 Leader Crom) take the hits ;)

 - Sherman Firefly WAS used by Canadians :)
 - Sherman Firefly had a 17 pounder ;) Meep, sowwy! :)
 Yea, keep 'em in back, and use 'em like Marders and Germans
 are screwed. Xcept got average armor and no lockdown and
 1MG, and turret ;) (And +2 pop) THEY NEED THE CROMWELL
 LEADER TO BE GODLY! :)
 They also reload slower if target is too close.
 - Well, not 'the last'... I'd say the last ones are in museums ;)

 
 ** Yea, Churchills are just big shields. That'S what they're
 for. To take the hits while the Firefly do the killing.

kinda off topic, but fireflies DO reload faster at range, just cracked open corsix and saw the reload time modifiers:
Distant: 0.65
Long:    0.65
Medium  1
Short     1.2

 - Bastex : Ah, but you didn't say in ACTIVE service, did you.
 And they were POURED INTO not Poored in to ;) Wouldn't
 know about that. Apparently a lot of panthers had that done
 to them as well. But I figure using regular 17 pounders might
 achieve better results than pouring concrete into tanks...
 besides being expensive, it would have negative happennings
 on the driver and crew :p
 - Newcomer : See, I told you :) Surprise! :) Didn't know?
 Check COH-stats.com the website :)
 - Ford_Prefect : Sorry, I was gone to a party with friends,
 been busy of late, tend to leave my comp online unnatended.
 
 You are there. Or You're there. Not Your their ;)
 Mr.Cheney!? What kind of name is that :)
 ... Wrong place to talk of this, though. Keep threads on
 topic, fool!

 Look at Firefly stats and compare ;)
 Also, er... yes! The Firefly is better than regular Sherman
 against tanks... but that's all it can do. It's like saying
 The 57mm AT gun is better than the sniper... ... better at
 what? ;)

 I find regular US sherman is WAY more polyvalent :)

Nobody said this so Ill just add that Firefly has only 550HP while Shermans/Cromwells have 636HP.
Firefly is also slower than a regular Sherman and much slower in rough terain.
