I'm working on a research project right now to address the vehicle aspect of AHII.  Given the number of vehicles produced/used during the war, I think such a project needs to be undertaken with a global view, not with one-off suggestions.

I agree that there need to be early-war light tanks in the game, but as an example, the Russian T-60, one of the most produced vehicles in the war, was a scout tank with a 20mm SHVaK cannon, the same gun used in the La-5 and La-7.  Even though it was highly produced (over 5000), it would add little to the game next to the (primarily) 35mm cannons of it's early war peers.

I anticipate I'll be done with this project and look forward to posting it for comments sometime in the next few weeks.

I've always thought that when you would like to see a plane or tank added to the game, as long as it had a significant presence in WW2, it should not be viewed in this environment with an "arms race" attitude- "this outclasses that, so it should not be added--etc.." Just a nagging thought.

Roger that Egg.  I would welcome the addition of a Japanese Tank to the game.  Whether or not it will stand toe-to-toe with a Panzer, Tiger, or a firefly is not relevant in decision making.
