Description
Sherman Jumbo
Replaces Calliope.
Model Created by Loran Korn, RIP.
Texture by Xalibur.
I love this version of the sherman due to its armour being up to 150mm thick
Not quite 150mm, definitely an improvement over the M4A4 :)
its frontal armor ranged from 114mm to 178mm,which is even bigger than the Tiger's frontal armor of just 100mm
The way you say M4A4 makes me think you are, like others, under the false impression that there was any kind of linear improvement from the M4 to the A4. There wasn't, the only difference is minor cosmetic changes like welded vs cast hulls, and different (but nearly identically performing) engines corresponding to the factories that produced them. In every other aspect the A1 was the same as the A4, the A3 to the A2, etc. Think of it like the different factories that made slightly different looking T-34's, same concept.
(buried)
what about soviet??. t 35 would fit real nice
Not really, that was just a massive target for german AT guns. Though it would be interesting to see.
it was a huge infantry killer
It was supposed to break defensive lines not kill infantry or anything else, he was just taking the shoots for the team while the others advanced
Probably i'll still use a Calioppe, but the concept of moving wall for US is a good idea.
There is also another Jumbo made by Halftrack. I am not sure, but I thin, that his version has greater detail...
it is the same one
the jumbo :)
But what the hell is it going to replace?
Says it up in the desciption -Replaces Calliope-
will you need TOV to use these units?i liked my calliope tho ;(
You DONT need ToV.
And it's a reward unit - you can keep the Calliope if you want ;)
why is the U.S. getting two units?
just asking as i see one unit for the others...
I guess in the future we will get new reward units for the other factions as well.
The EF team had these models already, so they will release them first.
I guess thats a good idea, since its better to release always a bit instead of for a long time nothing at all.
I wonder what kind of Soviet reward units will be?
PLUS: Where the heck is the whole turret for the Soviet Lend Lease Sherman!!!!
"Turn your shaders to high ingame.
It's a bug with the model - fixed in 1.2.
Try looking at the forums in future, this issue has been addressed many, many, many times."
maybe the IS3?
I wonder if they will make his armor as good as it was since front and all turet was better then tiger had :Q___ to all interested Onwar.com
Im just gonna say this again to those who will question this in the future.
You do NOT need ToV for the reward units as Dragon93 just said.
How fast will tank be or is it not known yet ?
this is the sherman Jumbo..right?
