What does everyone think about HTC upgrading their armored vehicle selection to include the Panther, Stug, KV-1, King Tiger and different variations of the already famous Sherman. Maybe even an upgraded version of the Tiger 1 (maybe mid or late version).

I think the Panther or King Tiger would render all the other tanks obsolete, they don't have any real weaknesses that would be modelled in the game (i.e. reliability). The basic Sherman, Stug and KV-1 would never get used.

A T34/85, an Su100, or a JgdPzIV/L70 (tank destroyer with the Panther gun) would be a better bet. They are based on vehicles already in the game so would be less work for HTC and have a nice balance of strengths and weaknesses.

Personally I'd like to see them model an infantryman with a Bazooka or Panzerfaust.

I say we need more british tanks. How many we have now? zero

I would say we need to add a Japanese tank, but they would have had to actually have a battle tank for us to model.

The Panther had several weaknesses to it. With the Sherman Firefly already in the game, it would make an outstanding opponent to it. The King Tiger would be one of those vehicles that would be perked out like the 262. Only attainable by those certain few. It can also be destroyed by the Firefly. But only from the sides and rear.
The sky is the limit for vehicles. We should have more. I have a great reference library on many vehicles and am willing to share with HTC if necessary.
Actually the British are represented by the Sherman Firefly in the game.

Put the Panther and King Tiger in the game, and perk them to the max. No matter how good the armour, a 1,000 pounder from an attack plane will take it out. I think there would only be limited use due to high perks and the problem of defending yourself from an attack plane. This is the same reason I rarely use a Tiger.

The firefy is a brit tank. The Crocodile tank would be an interesting addition.

You have the firefly. How many US tanks are there?
How about the Priest? Or the M-10 Wolverine?

Or maybe just more and updated planes first !

Whirblewind would be nice

Hornet33 · « **Reply #12 on:** October 03, 2007, 05:05:34 PM »

I think with the 3 EW, MW, LW arenas we have now we could stand to use some new tanks. Get some of the earlier war stuff in here.

I don't know why you would say this. These would be early to mid-war tanks. The KV-1 would probably have a light perk value in the early war arena due to the heavy armor.

Earlier variants of the PzkwIV and introducing the PzkwIII would be nice, too.
