filling in the gaps, a few GV's

still doesn't change responses. I remember reading the boards before joining, the requests for new tanks kept going on after the M4's, and the flyboys said "you just got some new tanks, what we need is x aircraft. It would give y advantages over the version already currently in the game. When you can have that, why would you even bother asking for a completly new addition that would be useful in the MA  ?"

Happened again after the Panther.

When we got the new Mossie and betty, the bombers kept asking, and the fighters and GV'ers gave their own version of the same response.

We need an earlier Panzer IV as well, say Panzer IV D.

[Tank-Ace]

If we do a Panzer IV F, we can get 2 for 1. All we would need to get both the F1 and the F2 are different guns, not a dime's worth more. But the 42mm of armor concerns me. Tiger turret top armor is 40mm but the B-25H can penetrate that with its cannon as can the Il-2 (last I checked).

The Matilda, slow as a snail but was very hard to knock out best armor of any EW tank.

T-34  . its 47mm of armor gives between ~95 and 103mm of protection when you factor in the slope.
