That’d certainly help *explain* the persistent misspelling, but doesn’t make it any less incorrect English. (Also vaguely amusing; I keep making Freudian associations with “copulation” every time I see it…)

*shrug* Would you prefer the early “drum” cupola perhaps? http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/61/Bundesarchiv_Bild_183-H26258%2C_Panzer_V_%22Panther%22.jpg

And the point about the suspension concerned alex’s earlier talk about the weight of the vehicle; this not being a design severely weighed down by applique armour well beyond what the suspension was designed to deal with, PzIV/Superpershing style, that argument is meaningless.

They already said the game may approach around 25 GB and as long as your hardrive isn’t a decade old or filled with loads and loads of porn you should have 25 GB free. Or just buy a small external and move some other files over to that. 25 GB really isn’t much.

Or you can start playing better and rely less on armor when rolling in Mediums. Mediums should not be rolling around being expected to bounce Tier 10 Gold TD shells anyway. They should be flanking tanks and wolfpacking as a group.

Reply to Kellomies:

Granted the hatch was big IRL, but it is big on live server too. At least that is stock turret…
And ride height as you put it is just silly(also hull grew bigger overall AFAIS) and if it stays ALL German tanks might be remade like that(German tanks are so small/low to the ground and hard to hit on live server, right?).
Now if they compensated in some way for making it bigger(rof?) I would not fret.
But knowing WG they will not.

ye but it still looks like it was hoisted up from it’s tracks, were the trailing arms dropped.

Well yeah, it kinda *was*: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e8/Bundesarchiv_Bild_101I-696-0432-13%2C_Polen%2C_Panzer_V_%22Panther%22_auf_dem_Feld.2.jpg

Dunno ’bout the suspension “ride height”, but with no less than eight pairs of torsion bars for a ~45-ton tank I’d assume stress on the components at least wasn’t an issue one way or another – for comparision IS-2 in the same weight class did just fine with six.

You know, the KV-5 is actually of alien origin, and when it was destroyed, an escape capsule using anti gravity technology was launched that is returning the crew to its mothership in orbit.

Checked in battle, suspension clearance is way high. Also the hatch on stock turret is HUGE!
