How do you use this booger? Is it more like a stuart or is it like a m8/sherman hybrid?

Dafuq man, don't ask for proof if you'll refuse it if it's not in your favor, logic fallacy for the bloody win.

use it to rape PE vehicles, hunt arty (this thing beats hotchkiss stuka while m8 doesn't stand a chance), hunt low hp tanks or just support your main armored forces.
always stay moving, its ridiculously fast, always kite and stay away from units trying to hunt it(it has 45 sight).

I used it a few times and got them to vet 2 in single matches usually. in one engagement there was a piv + marder vs sherman + cromwell. the chaffee wasn't that close by but had the speed to just get there anyway. simply told my teammates not to engage for a few seconds until I arrived. the chaffee moved in from the side, avoided the piv using the 45 sight and started owning the marder allowing my teammate's tanks to kill the piv.

the only times you would lose a chaffee is when someone charges a double schreck clowncar at it and you weren't on full hp or he uses a panther/jagdpanther.
or in my case, run over a teller mine.

Makes me wonder what the warmap will look like.

Allied player: "Played my ass off in a 38k game! Sweet, I got a unit card!! It's...a Chaffee..."
Axis player: "Played hard in that 20k stomp. Whats this? A unit card? FUCK YEAH, TIGER ACE!"

and why do you think that everyone will get ace? You wanna say that US units are worse than wehr? TBH they are not,only 'better' thing with wehr is Ace,everything else is kinda mediocre,and you dont even need to bother with it all that much.

I can see now that I rushed my revenge.

Perhaps it was the haste of a man

who longed to take his revenge like is vodka--

in one dreadful swallow.

But I see now I must take my time.

I will plant seeds of revenge and let them grow.

Then I'll harvest the vegetables of revenge.

And from those vegetables, I will plant more seeds.

- And then you'll get your revenge? - No, Smith.

From the third or perhaps fourth harvest renge-plants,

I will make a vegetable stew,

and season it perfectly.

With revenge!

i've yet to see anyone use a cuckoo. Who wants to pay a similar price for a normal panther for one that has a lower rate of fire and accuracy?

I do because i don't have to worry about instant Engine damage from stickies, avoid mass 57mm spam, fireflies, piats and large masses of M10s and hellcats.

Hmm. If memory serves the Pak38 actually does pretty well against it (doesnt the PaK38 have good modifiers/is generally better vs axis armor types then allied ones?).

The PzShreck would probably also do a number on, lets not forget vcoh/eir when a riflesquad grabs a PzShreck and it turns into a plasma cannon.

A normal panther would fuck it's shit up.

I had a cuckoo waaaaaaaay back when reward units came out, my micro was crap but I had issues with Marders. Light the Hicks Signal; does the Marder have good modifier vs. a Cuckoo?

Tigers. I found out the hard way that Tigers are pretty resiliant to the Panther_75mm weapon, unless the Cuckoo has the modified cannon of another allied unit (which might prove more fitting, especially since it's fighting its own faction's target and critical types.) (also. LOL 47 range Pershing cannon for cuckoo  Cool would be epic)

Due to a reformat, I'm currently without EiRR and subsequently Corsix.

Axis vs Axis units is something I dealt less with and have less of it committed to memory. I can tell you that as far as I'm aware the Cuckoo uses the Panther gun though.

On another note, is the 'Download Latest Version!' button on the left currently up to date?

I mean I know Obama was the first one in EiR to get a card. and tbfh the Race card is pretty OP. but Romney has the K.K.K., those guys seem to camo anywhere. So OP units from both sides.
At the end of the day, however, stormtroopers finally got the anal invasion with a cactus they have richly deserved for years.

same faction vs same faction modifiers are always going to be really bizare, but in the cukoo's case, most of the axis AT has very shit penetration chance againast it, unless its a pak comming out of ambush. Its like when the jumbo had panther armor i think it was, it was dumb dumb to penetrate that thing
