Ton of vehicles are needed to fill the roles of EW and MW first for scenario purposes.

We need the Type 97 Chi-Ha - this way we can have ground vehicles during FSO and scenarios on the Pacific front. Why let the ETO have all the fun? :D

+1 to all ground vehicles I probably won't drive the chi-ha though as it is a death trap in WOT lol

I would be inclined to agree, if vehicles were ever used for scenarios, etc.

+1 to the original request from me, fwiw!

Why not ask for the Super Pershing instead?

As mentioned in the references posted. However, Dale used to have a thing about how many saw combat not just if one saw combat once.  :D

The Super Pershing saw more than one engagement during the war.  Belton Cooper, in his book "Death Traps", recounts another engagement the Super Pershing had when it destroyed a German vehicle (Cooper couldn't see what was hit) while on the move.  Anyway, I should have put on the [sarcasm] tags on my posts to avoid any potential accidental catches as I'm way past my limit.
