Tank news flash

How we add useful stuff before "roll down hills drunk" stuff?

k thnx

[Arlo]

And we come full circle. More uber German/Russian/even US tanks isn't filed under "useful stuff" on everyone's AHII Christmas shopping list. But we all have opinions and we all share them freely. For instance ... I'd like to see an SCW planeset and Spanish terrain (now that's "early war" .. ummm .. in the opinion of some ... and some likes them early war "hangar queens") looooong before a B-29 with a nuke (long being - save the nukes for the day after my funeral). But, being the realist I am ... I doubt either are high on .... or even on .... HT's list and it doesn't break my heart too much. Doesn't stop me from doing the occasional campaign for Spain (much to the mirth of my fellow AHers). Who am I to rain on someone else's parade? Oh ... wait ... yeah ... that'd be my turn for a bit of mirth (if not too offensively delivered), I suppose.

There aren't any uber Soviet tanks in game, so it wouldn't be more.

Keep wishing for scenario use only tin cans though. may even get one in a few years

*Sigh* Another toe wrecklessly and callously stepped on ... another yelp. I'm not putting Italian *or* Japanese tanks on the top of my Christmas list, Gabe. But I'll let you in on a secret .... I've seen Panther, King Tiger and even the Jagdpanther threads here for years while other players (self included) thought the Sherman and T-34 were more logical and reasonable requests and supported such. While opinion varies, apparently the opinions shared with the developers and modelers get slotted a bit higher. Then there's my SCW dream. I know what I can get away with when it comes to a realistic and serious suggestion and what requires some tongue in cheek attitude. I've had practice in my presentation. I will mentor/kibitz for free. Scoff away.

Type 3 "Chi-Nu"
Weight :18.3 ton
Dimensions:5.73 x 2.33 x 2.61 mt
Armor (max) : 50 mm
Range : 240 km
Speed (max - route) : 39 km/hr
Main gun : 75 mm
Crew : 5

The Typ 3 "Chi-Nu" medium tank, produced in 60 units, was retained in Japan for defending the Fatherland from the expected American invasion. When the Allies finally reached Japan, they were impressed by the good quality of this vehicle, unknown to them.

Would be the only Jap. tank I can see being worth while to add in. Unfortunately as far as I know it never saw combat, although I could be wrong

There are already two German MBTs, one US/British MBT, one Russian MBT modeled. No more German uber tanks are needed (or Russian ones ... or even US ones - Brit - maybe) .... even from just a plain `ol MA mentality. From a scenario or AVA standpoint, however, the Japanese and Italians don't seem to even have an armored car .... much less a tank.

Thank you. Carry on.

HTC ... thanks for the Shermie, baybee! (Firefly? That's ok.)

DUDE MAYBE THE RUSSIAN MBT WILL BE THE JS-2 (IS-2)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Although I have a feeling that most would end nearly every sortie like this.

Man just imagine the inside, what a mess!!

You ubertank squeakers need to realize, the Jeep is a recent addition. Sometimes, you want to see HTC add something because it is historically relevant, or serves some secondary purpose, or because it's iconic- not simply because it had a huge gun or you saw one on TV.

[angelsandair]

well im sorry hubsonfire u buzzkill i guess we can call this a learning experience, now i know, and now you know that i know and now you know that i know that we both know that this wont happen again.

[ridley1]

when you say the japanese or italians don't really have a tank...do you mean in this game or inreality during WWII?

[angelsandair]

Just a question, when do you guys think the update is going to come out? I'm guessing either in march or april.
