Put my vote in for one of the SdKfz 234 armored cars (thats the 8-wheeler).  They have 2 versions that mount a 75mm gun which would be quite popular in the main arena. 
One thing I think would be useful is some kind of a "command vehicle" - perhaps one of these with the 5cm gun and some heavy duty optics that would let you sit up on a hill someplace and look for enemy armor when no Storch is available.

if we started with the most used tanks (and usable) still missing I would recommend the StugIII in its different reincarnations, and 50mm and 75mm
Sdkfz251's.
Pershing saw some action, ,and could be the ticket for western allied tank, IS2 is well armoured, but slow, and slow reloading, KV1 is worse than the T34/76 in almost all aspects, SU85/100 would be a real good contender though.

Personally I would like to see the Puma variants also.

My ammo last for 6 Lancasters, or one Yak3.

I seriously doubt that we'll get any new vehicles or planes in the update since I remember someone at HTC saying (I think it might have been HiTech that said it) that it takes at least a year to add a new plane/GV to the game.

I wouldn't be surprised if we get another one or two updates before the release though.

I don't see a reason why it should take that long to produce. I mean, unless it's a one-man job to implement these things, or it has to be put to a vote or some long pointless process, then I'm not buying it. Not. One. Bit. In my honest opinion of course.

Well first, the plane needs its 3D model. That in itself is an tedious task that would probably take around two or three months to do. Then you've got to get the textures done, this involves extensively researching the plane in question to find good examples that you can work off of. Remembering that it has to be historically accurate, you don't want to work off of a single photo of the planes tail. In addition to that you have to find a photos of the cock pit to work off of to crate the textures for. Remembering that those on the skinning team don't get paid for what they do, it's safe to assume that they have jobs (as well as lives) that they have to do in the mean time.

At the same time this is going on the flight model needs to be created for the plane. This can be done while the textures are being created (but after the 3D model is finished).

The SDk does deserve more options since the M3 received them.
