No, not negativity just cheeky humor. I know they aren't going to dump tanks, etc but I sure like having more targets in the sky. I would have used some of the icons above to lessen the tone but not sure which one does the trick. That's why I posted the 'range is open' line. Fire away.

How about these icons to lesson the mood?

The Sherman 105 would make a great support tank IMO. It would be a heavy town buster / base attacker with the ability to lay down smoke fields at long range.

If ya want to use the 105, just up a LVT.  I don't see where this sherman would be all that different (another tank sees you and you're dead anyway).

slightly better armor, plus hopefully it would come with HEAT rounds.

Pyro, may or may not have said it at the convention........   But I would need an attendee to confirm that.

I'm all for adding more vehicles based on the chassis we currently have.  If one were to count, I bet AH could easily add another 20 gv's just by adding in different variants (legit variant, that is) of the M3 half-track, SdKfz 251, and M4 Sherman.

Nope, your wrong sir.

Pyro said it.

I could care less about you freaking out.
FYI if I had you pestering me about it I'd probably take the easy way out and give you the same answer Pyro did.

But the fact is that is what he said.

But I really don't expect you to believe me.
