An early war Panzer would be good too.  I think IIRC they had the 35mm cannons.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.

I just thought they had a shorter barrel with less effectiveness and thinner armor with a weaker engine.

  the game is concentrated on combat, not on shaking the screen.

I think he means a Panzer III, which in earlier versions did have a 37mm cannon.

we need the spit Vc with the 4 20mm . AND BEFORE anyone says "they were never used in combat " they were for 3 years from 1942 till 1945 in Italy for ground attack . Used every stinking day at squadron strength . So krusty blow that out your hole. I can supply quotes from the pilots , and give you the book they came from .  :salute

The main reason the four 20mm option saw little use was because the guns used to jam at alt. The Spit wing didn't have enough hot air piping to supply pairs of 20mm. The weight also screwed the plane's performance to a degree. That's why they were only used for ground attack, and even then only very rarely. If AH modelled gun jams I would feel happier about having this as an option.

Perhaps when AH's long awaited perk ordnance system finally appears.
