Any tank or plane could be added regardless if it get killed with ease in MA.  Think about the scenarios and FSO's that could be developed using these.  Everyone always thinks about the MA use.

Or how about the M3 Grant? That should get a laugh out of everybody. :D

Grant would be cool.  You could have a gunner to fire one of the guns while you work the other.  For another multi-gun examples see the Russian T-35.

Yea I would love the comet, but I would also love the panther and the J series.

PZKWIIIJ?  Yeah, I'm down with that, especially with well modelled APCR ammo. Anyone who knowa anything about the second battle for Tobruk would understand the usefulness of that model tank.  Naturally a Panther would be nice too, as has been said ad nauseum....

how about the Panther before all of the Jagd- stuff? So atleast we can have the Panther before the Jagdpanther.  :devil

The reason I dont think we need the JagdPanther is because we haven't really incorprated any tank destroyers into the game. The later models (G?) had better protection, had alot of the problems fixed with them. Would probably dominate over the VC Firefly, could be the in-between perk tank of the Firefly and the Tiger. and if we were to get anything better then the Panther (JagdPanther?, Jagdtiger?), it could unperk the Firefly, make the Panther unperked, or LOW (Firefly sorta perk) and those could be moved up.

P.S. Would like to see a good American tank, (M4A-3) (M-26 Pershing?). But we could also use the T-34/85 or the Su-100, Is-2..... if we want uber tanks.

That could be said of many armored vehicles which came late in the war. Depending on range and aspect, just about anything could kill anything else. Granted the jagdpanther had great armor and a superb gun, but don't think for a second that the jagdpanther would go unscathed against the M36, the Su-100, or, God forbid, the Su-122.

The real question would be how much of a detriment the limited gun azimuth would be in AH? Since most GV fights seem to be static slug-fests (and I'm certainly no GV'er), I'm guessing the jagdpanther would kick bellybutton quite nicely.

And perhaps the elephant would too :D
It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)
