The
M4A3 Jumbo was created in response to the Allies
need for a truly heavy tank. Its massive frontal
hull armor was a match for even high-powered tank and anti-tank guns. However,
the Jumbo's introduction came late in the war and only about 250 were produced.
The
Jumbo is your ticket to get a bit sloppy on the battlefield. With an improved
high-velocity main gun and excellent armor protection, you should have no
problem crushing the Germans. Use the Jumbo to push through to key victory
locations. Once taken, anchor them with less powerful vehicles and keep
the Jumbo moving. Keep in mind to point the front armor in harms way when
engaging heavy tanks. 'Search and destroy' should be the mantra of your
Jumbo crews.
In August of 2004, Zappi, Homba, Bambam887, RedScorpion and MOOXE all pitched
in to create this Close Combat site. I would to thank all the people who have visited
and found this site to thier liking. I hope you had time to check out some
of the great Close Combat mods and our forums. I'd also like to thank
all the members of our volunteer staff that have helped over
the years, and all our users that contributed to this site!
