For those who don't know those pictures are from the U.S. Army Ordinance Museum at the Aberdeen Proving Grounds, Aberdeen MD.  The armor (Including Anzio Annie) are out in the weather and many are showing their age.  The U.S.A.O.M.F. is attempting to raise the money to build an Amphitheater to enclose the tanks, and further raise money to restore/recondition the over 125 pieces they have.

I believe you can make a donation via the site.

Aberdeen is about 1 hour North of Baltimore, two hours North of Washington D.C. and 1½ hours south of Philidelphia.  The Museum on the inside has most of the small arms and artillery shells also.

Well,

HTC has made it clear they are primarly running a FLIGHT sim. With some land and sea stuff to add variety interest (and targets :-).

I wouldn't get my hopes up to see a vast profusion of different kinds of land vehicles.

I will say, though (this is purely my educated guess) that I'm fairly certain the next perk to be announced will be a Tiger or a King Tiger..

Perk points are divided into fighters, bombers, and vehicles, and you can't switch them around.

And the Tiger has been specifically mentioned by Pyro as an example of a Perk vehicle.

They have 1 perk each for fighters and bombers....I should think they will want the vehicle people to have something to use those perks on.

However, I really wouldn't expect more than a T-34, some variant of a Sherman, and some sort of British tank anytime in the forseeable future (Again, this is purely educated guessing on my part.)

The Sodka would be great! It's like the US M3 Halftracks, there are a huge number of variants.

There are about 20 different AAA gun configurations on the Pz38 chassis alone.

Btw the Elephant is basically a Tiger II without the turrent and cross-country manuverability. Blah to that.

The Hertzer is one of those Pz38 based modifications  

This is the only perk tank I need...

Didn't the army enlist them in WWII?

I second Downtown's motion  
History needs to be preserved, plus from my own brief tour at APG, those mother's are a b#@tch to repaint.

P.S. Gawd I hate that new color, they looked better back in the '80's
