Beefing up the tank selection would probably increase business for HTC. This might also spread out the player numbers on an otherwise crowded map.

I've been trying to sing this song to HTC for some time. I honestly believe if they make the game more diverse and immersive they will attrack another segment of players. Lets face it, HTC is in the business to do one thing {just like any other business} make money!!
I know we'll get some of the flyboys having a fit over the fact there may be more GV's in the game and their argument that AH is a "flight sim" not a GV game {then you need to read the front page of HTC website} "Attack by Land, Sea or Air"
Let's face it, we all spend our $15 a month {not to mention ISP costs} to participate in the game and do what WE the players enjoy. Fly bombers, dogfight in fighters, drive a boat or GV, run supplies, man the guns, whatever. But just as the BBS is filled with "What planes I would like to see" in AH, there should be many more roles to play IMO.
For instance, you have some guys that enjoy resource managment, from troops to supplies to whatever. Other guys like to dive right in and furball in fighters, others like to do GV's and ships.
I just think it's a shame we have umteen million people in the US alone and all we can muster in the game at any one given time is approx 2-300 players:(
We already have a bizillion "fighter" squadrons with a new one croping up each week {which is great} BUT, how bout we have entire GV divisions, bomber groups, CV groups, resource groups, AA battaries, mobile artilary.
Right now as it is, it seems to be either a big furball over a base somewhere, a spawn camping GV battle {between Panzers & Tigers, because there's really no other choices} or bombers {dive bombing at times
} leveling an airfield or GV base.
Maybe all of this is just a waste of time, who knows but I have a feeling if we had a lot more roles for people to play you would start attracking some fresh blood into the game.
My 2 cents
