The M551 Sheridan: WG please don't mess this up.

The_Chieftain: Lads, a couple of observations.    Firstly, forget about the missile argument. Not only the first pilot batch came without the ATGMs, but also a significant number, about 150-250 (I need to check Hunnicutt) of the production run were built without ATGM capability. Presumably they were intended straight for Vietnam. I have no idea why the pilot was selected as opposed to the production variant.   Secondly, the issue with the pilot model is that though it looks to be rather straight-edged, in fact that's just the outer casing, and the main armor is, I think, supposed to be more slanted. Quite how much the internal armor modules are going to end up angled in the in-game model remains to be seen, but it's looking pretty 'boxy' right now, as compared to the production versions of the armor. Well, I guess unless someone can prove the real hull shape of a pilot, nobody can prove Minsk wrong...
