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.

LOL lionel wouldnt say that due to his recent performance

Since when did you have problems with Howitzers, Crazy? lol

[CrazyWR]

look at the leaderboard...

[Baine]

How did they get up there? What kind of games was he playing? None of his enemys got offmaps or what?

[Mysthalin]

Who wants to bet it's just a bug, just like the -982 exp grenadiers or whatever?

yeah its gotta be a bug cuz my howitzer are not there lol and hell i find nearly impossible to get that much xp on em.

[NightRain]

His just pro Gunner you guys, don't be mad at him and moan that its a bug if his excellent Gunnery and luck has kept them alive xD

[shockcoil]

Pfft. Who remembers the 13k exp howies and 88s?

[lionel23]

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!  

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....    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!

wtf man lol whyyyy

[lionel23]

I guess it could go into a misfiring M10....   

So yeah, better question then would be... why not?   

[IIPraeToriaNII]

funny how a panther on a road cant run them over after you retreated them when you saw the onslaught was coming....
even though it does have heavy crush....

[lionel23]

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! 

[CrazyWR]

heh, glad you enjoyed the post.  I was just shocked and confused to see a pair of 2000+ XP units around.  Must be fun.

its kinda interesting that he has the other two units like that...hmmmmmmmmmm

[Demon767]

yea its lame how they run sooo slow, whats up with that? 88 crews dont do that, are they different kind of units with different options on them which make sthem run slower?

[Tymathee]

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.

[Demon767]

aah yes i have noticed that

[Hicks359]

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.
