Some interesting other USA tanks...probably redundant to tank historians, but some will enjoy.   :D

The tiger wasn't the only tank killer of WWII it would be good to see more options in GV hangers. The drawings were pretty cool. Some of the bigger/badder killers did not have drawings available.
I've been seeing a lot of old war movies and there was some really strange looking tanks I hadn't seen before so I went looking....  
It would be nice to have more options for perk points on the tank killers or motorized artillery 105 howitzers, etc.

The M-26 is about as gnarly as it got for the US in WW2. The M-36 "Jackson" had the same gun, but it was a tank-destroyer - too thin-skinned for open combat - and open-topped as well.

There was a variant of the M4 that mounted a 105mm howitzer which would be great fun at knocking down hangars. As would the flame-thrower version issued to the USMC (though I suspect that would entail coding up fire-damage).
