New Vehicles
« on: February 11, 2013, 11:46:05 AM »
Forgive me if this has already been mentioned for I am new to this, but i believe maybe several new GV's could be added to enhance gameplay. I think adding lets say the U.S. M36, Soviet IS-2, and German Jagdpanther would leed to more dynamic G.V. battles. First of all, the German Tiger class tanks are not medium tanks such as the Sherman, or T34, so adding the IS-2 Josef Stalin which is a Soviet heavy tank sporting either a 85mm gun or a 105mm gun depending on the version would add balance to the Tiger. The U.S. M36 is not a true tank but a tank destroyer, but unlike the other countries TD's, the M36 has a fully rotating open turret, and is outfitted with a high velocity 90mm gun which is capable of taking out a Tiger a long range. The draw back to the M36 is that it would be highly vulnerable to attack from the air. Finally, adding a Jagdpanther would make taking towns or G.V. bases more interesting. Although the Jagdpanther has a fixed casement non-traversable turret, its low profile thick sloping armor coupled with a PAK 88 gun wold lend it to be excelent on defensive fronts. As for perking, I wold say the IS-2 would be comperable to the Tiger, the M36 should be slightly lower, maybe 80 or 90, and the Jagdpanther due to its limitations should be slightly higher then the Panther

No.

No more LW sooper tanks until the gaps in the more logical gv set is dealt with, imo.  Besides, until there is a way in which tanks can be launched to a distant spawn point and then retrieved anything added with any sort of perk value will most likely see very little green under it just like the King Tiger.  That thing must break down once it hits green.

 I would rather see the PZ.Kpfw. III Aust. L (long 50mm) the Stug III.G 75mm and maybe the Jagdpanzer 38 (t) Hetzer with a nice low profile along with the 75mm gun package for the sd.Kfz.251. I would even like something like the sd.Kfz.222 armored car. Early English tanks would be welcome also but I got to agree about no more super tanks even if the low profile of a Jagdpanther with an 88mm gun would be very cool to have. Fill the gaps first I think.
