Light Tanks

[DREDIOCK]

  the Sherman and the T-34 has a faster road speed than the Panzer MK.III.

Now here is an area where the GV game is lacking.

Regardless of terrain. Tanks should be able to travel considerably faster on roads then open field, on open field faster then sand etc.
this would add importance to the roads and bridges

So, Maybe make the treads a bit more vulnerable on the heavies. Up the perk cost and let the smaller faster tanks fill the traditional role of say the sherman where it was a numbers advantage to offset the superior tigers and panthers.

Basically exactly what I was thinking.

It would be really fun to have 3-4 EW tanks, from the British cruisers and Matilda, German Pzr Mk III, and Soviet T60/70.  Mix in the 6 pdr, 45mm, and 50mm tank guns in there and give them some of the high velocity LW ammo available so that they can compete in the LW arenas and scenarios.

I think it makes sense for HTC to NOT add in the 2 Pdr size guns, but instead to keep branching opt 1 level at a time.  Meaning the 2cm, 2 Pdr/40mm, etc is too far of a gap from teh 75mm standard we have in AH currently.  However, come "1 step down" to the 5cm and 6 Pdr/57mm level and they can still compete to a smaller degree, but more so with the LW high velocity ammo.  I say add in those tanks with the 5cm-57mm guns, and give them a few rounds (5?) of the HV sabot stuff and call it good.  THEN work with the true EW tanks.

The only issue is most EW British cruiser tanks use 2Pdr/40mm cannons. There can be several tanks with 50mm/6Pdr ones (45mm too) then add the 2Pdr/40mm ones. The ones with 2Pdrs saw combat and they fit perfectly into the inclusion. They deserve a rightful place though.

"Deserve" perhaps.  Logical and worth while to add in to the game based on what we currently have??? I vote no.  Like I said, get the EW tanks (Pzr III, british cruisers like the Valentine, or Soviet T60/70)in to the game with the up graded guns (5cm, 6 pdr, 45mm).  Those EW/MW hybrid 3 tanks can compete vs the the LW tanks with the proper ammo at ranges 1600 yards and closer. 

Better yet, HTC can intorduce tanks like the British Valentine with the different main tank guns available.  The British Valentine is a classic example in which the tank saw an easy upgrade from the 2 Pdr to the 6 Pdr gun without changing anything else but the name of mark.  The Panzer Mk III could have the short barreled 5cm and also the long barreled 5cm.  HTC did the hybrid thing with the Soviet I-16 fighter so why not expand the horrizons and do the same thing with some mainstay EW/MW tanks???  The Panzer III and Valentine are prime examples of that.

I know the hanger "tables" are limited in slots (6?), so HTC could offer 2 different turrets with 3 different ammo loadouts each.  Once the EW tanks with MW "upgrades" options are added, THEN start prodding for the exclusinve EW tanks to be included.
