Quoted for Truth.

You can have it as long as the overall crappiness and unreliability is modeled.  Don't forget the turret traversal was about 1/2 the speed of any other heavy tank in WWII.  Considering JUST that factor, probably the KT would be about as utilized as the Judy after the first week.

Why another german tank...IT's a tiger with more armor,and with the UBER M4 it's just another tank.

We need More Allied tanks.We need more Axis tanks that are not german.
I found a good page that has a list of all the Tanks of WW2 and where they came from.

I agree with Van on this.  Need better representation of all countries involved.  No to the Super Uber King right now.  It would be a great addition down the road a bit.

well if we arnt going to ad the tiger lets go even beter the bear only 2 built and they are storyies that they both sluged it out with rusian tanks they were huge they had to have been transported in parts to the front they were powered by desil engens that were used in U-Boats they were going to make a flakwing version the armerment was going to be duel 88's i think the main gun on the main one was going to be an 8 inch navel gun that was used on the pocket battleships
yes we should get the main tanks insted of super tanks we could use the panther it was like a t-34 also the churchil and the sherman m4a2:aok

No german "superheavy" ever saw combat....ever. The heaviest to see action was the Jagdtiger at 71 tons...

[pengu146]

we need at least 1 japanese tank before we add anything else

[Relorian]

the problem with the jap tanks is they were lightly armored, undergunned and out dated. Sure you could add them in but whos really honestly going to use them vs a panzer or tiger or firefly sherman?

Id like to see some of the american WW2 tanks, british tanks and maybe even some french tanks. List below:

M18 Hellcat (yes, a Tank Destroyer... )
Charron B1
Renault R-35 (If lighter similar jap tanks are added)
M 40,41,42 (Italian tank, 75mm main gun)
SU-76 (yes another tank destroyer)
SMK (Interesting with 2 turrets)
M3 A1 Stuart
M3 A3 Lee
M.26 Persching
M3 A5 Grant
Churchill MK VII
Mk VIII Cromwell
Comet
Heavy tank Type 91
Sentinel
Anti-Aircraft Tank Skink


ALL of those would be better choices AHEAD of the "king" tiger... which had notorious breakdown issues and was deployed in horridly low numbers

How about HT just model the existing tanks correctly. Fireflys getting hit once by anything should kill it with maybe exception of the M8, but the M8 in here seems to be able to kill anything anyway.

Van forget the British tanks, they were underguned and weren't good for much other than infantry support. They would just be cannon fodder. If tank on tank battles is what people want then HT should just stick to Russian or German examples, latter model American tanks wouldn't be bad either.

The chances that we see any new GV is low. Heck there still are a few Spit variants left, how bout another Spit HT we have around 30 already !
