Congratulations, dear sir, on your two amazing howitzers.  One would hope that, since you are not spamming games, they have proceeded to rape ENTIRE companies by themselves in games, because they clearly are quite amazing units.  I must say, never before have I seen such precise gunnery displayed.  Really excellent work.

Because a forum post should be like a woman's skirt. Long enough to cover the subject material, but short enough to keep things interesting.

Hey, I can attest that one of my howitzers in a SINGLE game got 40 infantry kills, nailed 9 light vehicles/marders/Gwagons, killed a KT and a vet panther and a P4.... so if that doesn't earn it  that coveted spot, then I don't know what will!  Grin

But I digress, my company does run four - yes, count it four - Vet 3 howitzers, and only recently have I lost one of them (my lowest XP one), but don't worry... it'll be back...!

Though I must say to Crazy.... I had a great kick out of your excellently written and sarcasm-laced post....  Cheesy  Honestly though I don't know what causes the bug, if I knew I'd post it in the bug forum, I figured it was just some massive multiplier based on how much it earned in that game, and in that one I mentioned it did kill a lot.... and if it got like a 25% multiplier it would account for it being so high perhaps? *shrug* That I do not know, but I am pretty good with my howitzers usually... go artillery fortifications!  Cool

Thank god they put on their 'oh shit' armor when they retreat and become moving tank traps!

@ NightRain - Yeah, they've been really lucky to survive off-maps, being chased off map by armored cars/blocking panther tanks with blitz, mass infantry... and all those kills like that one example did, well, I say he has earned bragging rights to sit up there for all the scary shit 3 guys on a immobile gun platform have to sit through.... and what's with their retreat speed anywhere? It's like 'I'm running away in sllllllooooooowwwwwww-moooooottiooooooon' gah!  Wink

i think it's because that the howie has a default speed of a crawling at gun, if you notice at guns run as fast as howie crews.

I've had a vet 3 Howitzer die because the guys wanted to walk to the border...

It's hellishly annoying, and couple it with the building issues you have to put up with before the thing is even ready to fire, and my Howitzers are a perpetual nightmare against competent opponents.

Would be nice if something could be done about both the run speed and more importantly imo, the fact that your vet is liable to be wtfpwned at any given moment while the Howizter is being built.
