76mm Flipping

[Blkhwk8]

The French and US 76mm ATG flipping has been around since its been introduced. 

The thing is top heavy and too easy to roll, driving in 5th gear today slow to turn on road and it flipped.

Historically Accurate

LOL.. bob.

Took one out Sunday pushing it along on flat terrain on the edge of some bushes and trees trying to flank some ETs as cover and in the process after mb 10 minutes of pushing I caught glimps of an ET mb 600m away. It was a PZH and I was almost directly on his flank so I spun it around and I guess the atgs spurs hit the berms at the base of the tree and I bounced 5 feet in the air landed and rolled over. I figured mb I could still get a shot off on my side but the bushes obscured the PzH and now I could see 2 4Gs on the hill above it. but could not raise the barrel enough on the side to get off a shot so I tried to right it but ei started to pick off my crew by that time.  I did not need a truck to flip my M5.

It's garbage.  

 

You can minimize the flipping chance if you stay at moderate speeds and switch over to the gunner's position while being towed, but it will still flip on you if your driver isn't ultra careful. 

Rather take the 57mm because it won't flip.

I once rolled a tiger across a river and landed upright on the other side. #truestory

This.

Only spawn a m5 when a tiger is shooting your AB or something.

You sir have never experienced the joy of shooting a truck with it.
POOF big cloud and bouncing tires.

Edit to add
Seeing little bodies poof out of it is like getting icecream and finding it came with unlimited hot fudge

I'll have to take your word on it.
I try to keep the DD's someplace outside of 700m from shore, and cant render hits on infantry from there.
Inside like 1600m tanks and ATGs want to shoot me, so i usually stay farther away than that.
When i hit a tank, i cant see it for the smoke sloud.

Historically accuracy vs game play again. If you flip it in war you can get team of engineers to flip it back. If I'm on level ground and take a slow turn then it's a waste

It is in our list of things to look at.
