vertex your a noob so chill with the pics damn

[Masherbrum]

I think its about time HTC add a more powerful tank stronger then the tiger but worth more perks theres a bunch of guys in aces high that has alot of gv perks plus add more gvs that are not as strong as the tiger

[MadHatter]

 : GrnEagleJr, there's something called a period. It looks like this . USE ONE! Tigers were pretty d****ed effective, if you don't like the fact that the other guy has one, then get in one yourself, or get some buddies. Like my Daddy used to always say: "If brute force doesn't work, you're not using enough." But for everything that is right and Holy in this world, pay attention in English class, please?

GrnEagleJr, if you wish to be taken seriously in the forums (especially this forum! Geez you guys can be vicious!), you need to present a clear and detailed topic for discussion. Your presentation needs to be "professional" or your associates will spend more time "flaming" you than discussing the relative merits of the point you are trying to make.  Having said that, I would remind everyone on this board that we can't all be military science-aviation history-english professors with a test pilot rating and a kung fu grip.

I'll help out the OP.  

These 16 additions to the AH GV line up would flush out some of the most significant combat vehicles of WWII (absent Japanese entries) and, along with what we already have, would provide a good representation of all periods of the war.  This would help with scenario planning and add GV elements to the AvA, EW and MW arenas that are, at times, not currently realistic.

In addition, some of these, such as the Crusader were equipped for AA roles (Bofors 40mm AA Gun with an autoloader and powered mounting in an open topped turret), providing an Allied alternative to the (very) limited production Wirblewind and Ostwind.  As the game develops over time, others such as the M4 Sherman were equipped for mine clearing, as flame throwers and for other specialized roles.  Once added, modifying these models for specific specalty roles would be a relatively simple task (as opposed to the game modifications needed to make these specialty roles viable in-game).

While I wouldn't expect HT to suddenly add 16 vehicles to the game, particularily with the advent of WWI aircraft, I'd hope that an agenda such as this might be considered and added over time.

So, without further ado, here's my wish list (I could live with some additions or deletions from this but it's a good starting point for discussion):

Chuchill - Great Britan - 1941-1945
M10 GMC - USA - 1942-1943 - Gun Motor Carriage (Tank Destroyer) with 3" M7 gun on Sherman hull
M3 - USA - 1941-1943 - Medium Tank
M3 Personell Halftrack - USA   - Includes armored personell carrier, self-propelled gun and anti-aircraft (e.g. M16) varients.
M3A3 Stuart - USA    - 1941-1942 - Light Tank, 37 mm gun
M4 Sherman - USA   - 1942-1945 - Medium Tank with 75 mm M3 (L/38) gun
M5 - USA - 1941-1943 - Light Tank, 37 mm gun
Mk VI Crusader - Great Britan - 1940-1943 - Tank, Cruiser, Mks I, II and III
Panther - Germany - 1943-1945 - (Panzer V) was armed with a 75 mm KwK 42 L/70 gun (Sd.Kfz. 171)
Pz III G-J - Germany - 1940-1942 - Armed with 50 mm L/42 gun
Pz IV - Germany - 1942-1945 - Panzer IV with long 75 mm L/43 or L/48 gun
StuG III F-G - Germany - 1942-1945 - Sturmgeschütz 40. Assault Gun armed with 75 mm L/43 or L/48 on Panzer III chassis (Sd.Kfz. 142/1)
SU-76 - USSR - 1942-1945 - Self propelled 76 mm gun mounted on a lengthened version of the T-70 chassis
T-60 - USSR - 1941-1942 - Light armoured fighting vehicles
T-70 - USSR - 1942-1943 - Light armoured fighting vehicles
Valentine - Great Britan - 1939-1945 - Tank, Infantry, Mks I, II, III and IV

Oh... and if it helps I have the technical specifications on most of these including things like on-road/off-road speeds, gun elevations, shell sizes, muzzel velocities, rounds per minute, armor thicknesses, etc., etc., etc.

Jayhawk, I salute you for taking a positive position on the helping and guiding our younger generations of members. Its easy to be cruel or uncaring as others on this thread have proven, but it takes a bit more effort to be a positive influence. Well done and thank you sir!

[MadHatter]

GrnEagleJr. I apologize, my earlier post had all the tact of a chainsaw murderer on LSD. Thank you Jayhawk for the smack upside the head, considering it was my post that you referenced. Sometimes it's better to stay quiet and let people think you're an idiot, then to open your mouth and prove it. (That's a reference to me, not you JayHawk)

The point I failed horribly in making, is that if you want people to take you seriously, then you have to act seriously. "i want the pby catalina cuz the cat is a good plane many ppl think its good cood we haz cat plz" makes me look like a 5 year old pounding away on Daddy's keyboard. When you type like that people don't see what you typed, they see how you typed it, and you might as well hang a "Kick Me" sign on your back.

Next time you present something, try this:

What you want (Use examples, more GV's doesn't tell anyone anything. Do research), what it brings to the game, and how easily can it be done. (Humans are inherently lazy, we will work hard now, so we can have it easier later) Be open to criticism.  Saxman came up with a better idea for the PBY then using it for SAR. Maybe someone will turn you onto a better idea, or a way to make you're idea better.

Either way, again, I apologize. But remember, when you post something, you're talking to a bunch of people who probably remember Gunship 2000 and the Jane series of sims (I wish they'd bring Longbow back). Take the time to present it instead of just posting it.

Only two things missing in this thread:

1) A wish.
2) what you are wishing for.

Give us details please.

Vertex you're a noob, so chill with the pictures. Damn...

English class has an important role in education... And for the heck of it, here are some more pictures to tick you off.

Plz  Its the M3 Stuart top speed 36 Mph on rad 18 Off Road
Guns 1 37mm M6 174 rounds/ 3 .30 Browning M1919A4 Mg's

[SmokinLoon]

The M18 tank destroyer is the next armored gv that should be added.  It fills a gap and would offer a completely different style of gv game play.

It is very quick and fast, and has a main cannon on par with the Soviet 85mm.  The downsides are it has weak armor and is vulnerable to air attacks due to the open turret.

Those attributes would lead to a armored hit-n-run game and a true "panzer blitz" attack.           

[RaptorL]

I say the next tanks that should be added are the M-3 Stuart tank, and the Panzer III Ausf H.

M3 Stuart Tank was a U.S. built tank which first saw service with the British in the desserts of North Africa in 1942.
