You guessed it, more GV's.

I want the T48 57mm GMC, which was an M3 with a 57mm (6lber) AT gun mounted on top. Carried 99 rounds.

The M3A1 75mm GMC, an M3 with the M3 75mm tank gun (M4A3(75)'s main cannon) mounted on top. 59 rounds carried.

SdKfz 251/22, an SdKfz 251 with a Pak 40 mounted on top.



These would introduce fast, lightly armored tank destroyers into the game. The T-48 would the the perfect hit and run tank destroyer, where as the M3A1 would be more of a town killer or self propelled artillery piece.

The Pak 40 would be interesting since it can neither run from something like a T-34 or slug things out in open combat. I imagine it would require more finesse to use.

Wildcat, the M3A1 would likely be used as a fast town killer or self propelled artillery piece as I said. Imagine getting 59 of the sherman's HE rounds to a town as fast as an M3 can get there.

The SdKfz 251/22 would likely be used as a multi purpose vehicle. It won't be as effective at killing a town as the M3A1, but you have at least some capability to defend yourself. I imagine this being a poor mans T-34, in the sense that it is fast, but isn't really suited to dealing with heavy tanks.

The T48 would likely be used as nothing more than a tank destroyer. I can easily see this being used as an ambush weapon where it would kill a tank or two, and then motor away. It may also be used as a camper since it is small, hard to spot, and is capable killing any tank in the game. It could penetrate 90mm of armor at 1800yds when using APDS (armor percing discarding sabot) rounds. I don't know the ROF, but one would think it would be fairly high given the small size and weight of the shells.

How much you want to bet that Nemisis is on Hitech's "ignore" list due to the "spamming" of ground vehicles on the wish list?  :noid

+1 That would be fun to use... top speed of 45MPH Beats the T34 @ 33 MPH. I could see someone getting in and killing and then running away..

Why?  It was a POS and ineffective against any German armor and around '43 was given limited standard classification and declared obsolete by the war's end.  It would be useless in AH.
