Yes boys and girls, it's time once again for uncle moil to encourage the community to come together and push........err I mean ask HTC to add extra vehicles and ground equipment for the ever growing number of players that participate in ground activity.

First up, an all time favorite of mine and I'm sure everyone else's
The Wirbelwind

Next, a real crowd pleaser and show stopper
The Flak36 "88"

Of course were going to need something to tow the Flak36
SdKfz-HT

Finally, for strategic placement at airfields or towed to city for protection
The Bofors 40mm AA gun

I'm really not a big ground guy, but I'm IN on this one.

However, I'd say go for one (Wirbelwind) or the other (towable ground gun with prime mover) to minimize potential gameplay impact. Either would add to the fun of attacking bases, and at worst they'd teach attackers to take the VH down first thing.

Honestly, though, MOIL -- be careful what you wish for.....

PS Is the Wirbelwind a tamaya box art?

If HTC increases it's stable of ground vehicles, it should include some Field Artillery. The Priest 105mm self propelled howitzer, or the M30 155mm howitzer would be nice. Go out with a formation (like the bombers) 3 guns, be able to put the guns into land mode like the 8" on the cruisers, and make the enemy look for the guns that are shelling their field or town.

Also the M3 with the french 75mm anti-tank gun would be cool. Moves fast, hits hard from an ambush.

M4 "Firefly" Sherman tank.

I like the Katusha rocket launcher. That would fall under artillery.

The "88" would be good in either mode AAA or ground attack. Kind of like the 5" guns on the cruisers.

You know, I'm not sure. I found the pic on one of my fav WW2 vehicle sites.

A Hellcat tank destroyer would be a killer addition. It would add a new dimension, and be difficult to use. It is fast, and hits real hard, but has light armor, making it a one shot ride, if a tank gun hits it once, its likely pretty much done. It requires a very different philosophy of operation than just rolling out a tank and swapping shots. You'd need the discipline to learn to hit with the 1st shot, and to MOVE if you didn't.

Good idea, can now chain um to death!

I like the Hellcat tank destroyer, It was towards the top of the list also.

It would just be nice to continue to round out both Air and Ground aspects of the game. As we continue to see more & more new people come aboard {many of them taking to the GV's} it would be nice have all out combat on the ground AND in the skies.
I don't think AH will ever become a ground combat game that some fear it will be.
I honestly believe customers are more apt to stick around when there's more to participate in than just planes and a tank or two,

My 2 cents
