Sherman {and variations of} T34, Panther and many more are all great ideas, lets get the damage model, ballistic model and overall modeling done first.
Why is it that so many players choose the P51, LA7, Spit and N1K2 ?
Could you imagine flying one of those A/C and they all fly pretty much the same and do the same type of damage? Or they all fly just like the F4U ? I guarantee people would say "what's up with that" ?
