I would aim for the same Jake, but I keep getting sidetracked by
doing stupid things like laugh at people who are not expecting a
Maus to roll sideways down a hill. :scream:

Hello fellow O.F.F.ers, have been absent since mid May - June (
Required relocation of family to new residence). Have been on
this forum from time to time and see some old friends are still
here and sadly, some are absent. My horrible moving experience
has taught me that sometimes bad things happen for no rhyme or
reason. I have an x-box one s now, so there should no longer be
any issues as to linking up for platoons 'once I figure the
bloody thing out'. When things are all in thier place, I'll be
looking for all who wish to crush the Reds, see them driven
before you, and well you know . . . And now as to the meat of
the issue
What an amalgamation of tank parts, one member suggested a
marketing ploy, I agree with this theory. Are they worth it
though, these "contracts" are involving and time consuming. I'll
know soon enough if they're a nuisance or an armor plated
elephant with a bad attitude. If anyone reads this, would you
post what mercenary tank you like and why, this info could help
in my decision as to involve myself in wargaming latest
endeavor. Thanks J.K.M.

JKM: I like:
- Cruncher (VIII) : drives like the Tier VIII American Medium,
but with the Tiger I 8.8 cm/L71, nice reload, very accurate.
I've rarely needed to use premium APCR.
- Needle (IV) : drives like a faster Matilda; gun is reasonably
close to Matilda (A-20 47mm), armor is comparable (Pzr II-J
hull), speed is much faster, IMHO. Does do terribly in Tier VI
battles; the 47mm pen falls off faster then the British 2-pdr.
I don't like:
- Stubbs (V) : I was looking forward to a Mercenary Light/Scout
tank. This one... not quite fast enough, and the gun is awful.
British DERP gun (shots rainbows, which makes leading a target
laughably hard). Comes with HEP, so I was initially excited,
but the pen is so terrible, its hard to do _any_ damage to Tier
V+ tanks, save for the known nearly-armor-less tanks. I mean, I
was able to one-shot a T-67 once. Once.
- Bulwark (V) : this beast has the Matilda 2 pdr, and in a Tier
V battle it is _okay_; against Tier 6 you'll shoot some premium;
and against Tier 7 its laughable (the premium pen is barely good
enough, but the alpha is just so bad).
- Caboose (III) : the KV-2 of Tier III. Hilarious in a Tier III
battle. Terrible terrible performance in Tier V. I almost
recommended it, since its a riot at Tier III, but ... I've
rarely been top tier in it, and never have I been top tier in it
when I was in a platoon.

I almost like the Plaguebringer, but like the others, you end up
using a lot of premium ammo. Of all the mercs that I have (5 I
think), I like the Stinger the most. It's quick and agile, its
76mm gun is decent even at bottom tier, and the enging reminds
me of an old Farmall tractor with the throttle wide open.
