Ground Vehicles -

Sturmgeschütz III (StuG III) G Model

Anti-Tank, Stopgap Tank built for German Army, would be comparison to T-34 with decent gun, but low stilhouse making it good 20 Eny tank (higher Eny due to 54 rounds of 75mm compared to higher rounds for other tanks)

Sturmhaubitze 42 (same body just bigger gun) had 10.5cm howitzer added for infantry support role, would be good for town killers, or de-ackers considering they carried very few AP rounds even then were not accurate. (25 Eny as well)

Churchill tank - has various versions I would like to see Churchill IV (1500+) made and Churchill VII Tank added - A Churchill VII which replaced the main gun with a 95 mm howitzer (47 rounds).

Panther Tank - been requested enough times I wont ask why It should be added (perked) for 35 perks. Why higher perks then Tiger? was considered all round better tank then Tiger, tiger generally 30 perks I believe at normal price, few extra for panther (I would prefer G model added)

Flakpanzer IV (2cm Vierling) Wirbelwind (20 Eny) - it was faired to be not quite as good in the role of Anti-aircraft (where osti was designed to replace this tank) I still think It would be more interested anti-aircraft and town killing vehicle.

Wespe - Sd. Kfz. 124 - 10.5cm Howitzer for artillery, uses same Panzer 4 body with a Field howizer added for mobile artillery, perhaps use the 8 or 5inch gun telescope to aim the weapons, I think it would be a good function being able to range town or a field, but be very easy to damage from air and virtually chance to defend them selves from GV's mean they must work with other Anti-aircraft, or tanks to function well. (15 Eny)

As far as aircraft go I always had an interest for LaGG-3

The LaGG-3 was a Soviet fighter aircraft of World War II. It was a refinement of the earlier LaGG-1, and was one of the most modern aircraft available to the Soviet Air Force at the time of Germany's invasion in 1941.
Number built    6,258
The result was still not good enough although it came close to its rival Bf-109F in performance and was superior in maneuverability.

Perhaps 30 Eny aircraft for another russian fighter?

The Tupolev Tu-2 Bomber - Produced from 41 to 1948 (good record!)
Armament
    * Guns:
          o 2× 20 mm (0.79 in) fixed forward-firing ShVAK cannons in the wings
          o 3× 7.62 mm (0.30 in) rear-firing ShKAS machine guns (later replaced by 12.7 mm (0.50 in)Berezin UB machine guns) in the canopy, dorsal and ventral hatches.
    * Bombs:
          o Internal 1500 kg (3312 lbs)
          o External 2270 kg (5004 lbs)

Would make a VERY interesting ground attack vehicle compared to the A-26 Invader!

Fiat G.55 Centauro - Italian Fighter plane -
Produced    274 (wartime), 75 (postwar)
The definitive evaluation by the German commission was "excellent" for the G.55, "good" for the Re.2005 and "average" for the C.205.

Would make an excellent 15/20 Eny aircraft to be added to the game! least give it the DT's since nobody will fly the C205 due to short range!

You do know how slow that thing is, right? I'm pretty sure top speed was around 10 MPH. A sheep with 100 pounds strapped to its feet could outrun that thing.

Its a shame we dont have the Best Russian bomber they built during the war. Think about it? We have either the best, or representative of the best, bombers built by America, Germany, Japan, and England, but not the TU-2. The best Russian one.

                             I want the TU-2 even more then I want the 29. The more fast mediums we have in the game the better.

75mm.  (7.5cm KwK 42 L/70).  It was as good as the 88mm on the Tiger in terms of armor penetration.

And? 15mph compared to Tiger's 25 mph, it still formed backbone of British Army, if not then lets go with Cromwell tank, 40mph cruising speed, 76mm Gun, or Centaur IV with 95mm Howitzer

Im trying to pick Tank / Plane designs where as HTC wouldn't have to model 15 different tanks, imagine a Cromwell with 76mm gun, same tank but Centaur IV with 95mm Howitzer, would give us new Variety of tanks to choose from.

Granted HTC could also add perhaps Sherman 105

My Idea behind this is simple, make GV's work more for a base, sherman 105 couldn't penetrate a tiger tank, but one shot would rip a town apart, give new idea to defending in GV's if you think running a howitzer around is good idea alone.

I seem to recall that while slow compared to other tanks, the Churchill actually climbed hills faster than any other Allied tank in North Africa due to the gearing it had.

The game could definitely use medium or heavy russian and italian bombers  for scenario's and snapshots.
