What i've been wanting to know since the beginning of coh.. why do the americans have the watercooled m1917 in coh instead of the aircooled m1919? wasn't the m1919 used more often? and much more known than the m1917..?

Can be ... Water cooled Browning was used during first battles of war ... mostly on the Pacific theater. Firdt battles was the most memorized ... i think. That's why ...
Later models is marked with ... machine & armor placed mostly ... Thats periods of war was most memorized for Amy's machine of war for programmers & advisors.

It's logical series.

You could really ask that question for a LOT of things on CoH.

Why the Schwimmwagen instead of the much more common Kubelwagen?

They chose the Schwimmwagen, yet it can't even swim through the water. The Kubelwagen would have been a more logical choice.

I think the answer to that question is the same that "why the pershing?" or "why the bergetiger?".

Exactly. Just because they thought it was cool, or they liked it, or they wanted to. :P

Schwimm moves thru shallow water with 0,8 of its normal speed. Most vechicles slow down to 0,3 of their normal speed.

There's a model and animation for it ingame, i think the M1919A6 was designed in the early concept for a upgrade for the airborne, but they choose the awesome M18 Recoiless rifle instead and dumped the '1919.

True, but they could have just used the Kubelwagen and had the same result, due to the Kubelwagen's flat underbelly. It would also make sense due to the fact that the Kubelwagen cannot go float in deep water while the Schwimm can.

Man, that would have been neat to have. They should make it available as an upgrade for those who's purchased BAR's. That would be pretty cool.

It would be cool, but I think quite OP as well. But thats just my opinion.

I cant vote for some strange reason but my vote goes for others. ^^

And then I would say the russian RPD. Fires the great 7.62x39mm caliber and simpel design ^^
