Anyone actually use this thing? Are you finding it useful at all since it has to stay in ambush to be useful at all.

I have them, it doesn't do much. Needs a price decrease.

I use it just to give my hellcats a little extra experience, damage is too slow compared to other .50 cals, as I have better luck killing infantry with the main gun or running them over.  Definitely needs a price decrease or a slight increase in effectiveness.

It doesn't have many uses. Ambush is the best part about the Hellcats and the 50 cal usually ruins it. Not to mention, there aren't many situations when you would want to engage infantry with your Hellcat.

I disagree, there are many times I use the Hellcat against inf, either in a support role shooting over allied infantry with its vet 2 long range main cannon and .50cal, or end game when axis armor has been all but eliminated and you need such a weapon to assist in adding to killing unupgraded infantry (volks, grens, or even MP44 troopers and trying to throw in some extra punch for your riflemen).

The .50 on the Hellcat is the same .50 on the M8 and the Sherman.

It doesn't make the Hellcat a super duper AI vehicle, but it scares off most inf, and lets you kill them faster as you go Carmageddon on them.

Spot on.

Hmm just doesn't seem like it sometimes, maybe I'm forgetting to take into account the other hull and main gun on the sherman, just seemed to me it was faster or something XD

The Hellcat's M2HB MG upgrade is identical to the M2HB MG upgrade of other U.S vehicles.

Makes it great for circling PaKs and killing other support weapons you can't normally run over.
