cloaking , ok why not.. nice gimmick.. but cloaking AFTER shooting a panther in sight and THEN cloaking to shoot "suprisingly" again.. come on..

there is no discussion wether we got paks and stormies or not.. paks cannot cloak again after shooting, especially not within a certain range. so before flaming, pls keep in mind i dont want the cloaking removed..

my hellcat had destroyed engine and main gun and cloaked becuase it was a fair distance from ur troops and wasnt the priority target of your panther, you're exaggerating what happened. its a lil less bs than storms cloakin right infront of mgs etc.

Fallschrimjaeagers cloak DURING combat too, its just relic's buggy cloaking system, really can't change M18 cloaking without changing every other unit that cloaks too so.. no point in discussing this.

Yeah ,basically the cloaking system sucks. If its not the main target, it'll cloak but it has to be targeted.

How 'bout we remove that stupid cloak (heck, I'd love to get rid of all cloaks except for the snipers' one, buts... yah I get it) and in trade we give it the speed it should have and also some reasonable gun (so it can actually penetrate as now it relies basically on that cloak shot)... just sayin' cuz it was actually even better tank than M10 but I guess ya'll know that - price adjustments could take place as well...

M18 cloak actually works extremely well.  Cloak after firing has never worked with it.

What is the damage bonus the m18 gets from cloak? It seems a little over the top atm.

50% damage bonus.

M18 isn't that good, I prefer M10s, reliable penetration is much more useful than one cloaked shot and then bouncing 20 times.  Plus M18s are much slower than M10s so it's hard to flank or run away.

They don't get any range bonus, they have identical range to M10s, and I have to say I'm leaning more towards reliable penetration on the M10 and speed over the M18, which both are just as fragile as the other but the hellcat - while it does have awesome cloak - can take a very long time to pull out of cloak and start accelerating to get away if a mass armor rush pushes on top of it (lost a vet 2 hellcat that way).  Least with M10s I can sacrifice to take out an infinitely more expensive axis heavy out.

Ya that's the main advantage of the M18, being able to kite P4s all day.  M18 isn't so good vs panthers and KT and such.

M10s with observation is much superior IMO, but that requires a T3 unlock and a munitions cost.

agreed. I tend to kite with m-10's anyway. Jeep + m-10 = dead p4/stug

You can't cloak it on red cover...
