Would rather see the Wirblewind then the Ostwind we have now, would be an easy fix just some graphic work and reworking of the armor a tad.  Plus 1600 rounds of 20mm would be very nice.  Possibility of manning AT guns at bases, or fixed MG nests for AA use.  Single MG-42's or 50 cals would suffice.  Addition of different tanks/ground assault vehicles,

Mark Va Panther
T/34 85
Hummel/Wespe/Brumbar/Sturmtiger<- my personal favorite
Wirblewind
Firefly "British variant"
Sdkfz 250/9 or any variant of this series
Su-122 or Su-152
Katusha's any size will do
Maultier
No king tiger but a Tiger I would be nice
155mm HMC M41
155mm GMC M12
105mm HMC M7 Priest
I would like to see a more exclusive involvement with the ground campaign for it is one of the most vital aspects of this game.  For it to evolve and compete with other sims, this will be the process.  So what do you think?  I think manning AA guns at fields would be great, and what about those german flak towers?  Since we have jets in the game now, what about making certain bases for the jets?  Extra AA cover for them as well.

Sturm: Did you ever play in the older "canyon lands" beta terain.  It was good for vehicle oriented battle.  I would agree that some other vehicle types could add diversity to the play scenerio but the relative flatness/steepness of the terrain and position of spawn points has a major effect on play. Maybe one of the self propelled laarge bore guns you suggested would be good for long range bombardment. I like the osty as it is but with custom sights for AAA purposes.

I couldn't agree more. In fact, up and coming games such as WWII online are doing just that. Adding ground forces to this game would extend the lifespan of this game. It would also add a new dimension to the way the game is played. Players (pilots) would no longer be able to bomb and strafe airfields if there is significant ground cover.
