I'd love to see tank destroyers in this game, if nothing else to give a little variety.  Tank destroyers were mostly intended as defensive weapons, so even those without a turret could place themselves in good ambush spots and wait for their target.  Keep in mind that most of the turretless assault gun/tank destroyers still had about a 10 degree traverse(sp?) in either direction, so at long range they could still lead a target without moving.  I'd think we would need Stug's before anything else, if this route was to be taken.  Since they were used from beginning to end in just about every place I think the German's went.

Wondering why we don't have the  M3 GMC ?  The M3 GMC still holds the record for most tank kills yet we don't have it the game ? The M3 with a 75 mm gun was Patton's Ace in the  Hole. Would be nice to have this 45 mph ground strike force unit in the game.Yes i know armor isn't that great but 6 of these set up in a ambush would be fun.

More Info :    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M3_GMC

I remember a long time ago in a galaxy not far from a mouse click where I posted a thread similar to this regarding M10...and man was I ripped apart for it. My thing is this...I get turreted in a wirb with like 3 pings from a .50 yet when I drop on a 90 dgree angle on one and fire 30+N1K rnds into top of turret...well, lets say they scrape me off the armor and surrounding greenery lol. Think any open topped TD would just be a supply eatin machine because this would happen all day lol. But +1 anyhoo
