The challenger and IS versions maybe, the others were either prototypes or saw minimum service. There are big holes in the early years that imho ought to be filled first, I.e the M3 Lee and the Panzerkampwagen 3.

Earlier tanks would see little use unfortunately but there are a bunch we should have:
M3
Matilda
PZKw III
Churchill
Cromwell
Stug III
T-26

IS2 is the only tank that had some good numbers among the late variants.

The later version of IS2 (with a better gun) is probably the best deal.
My ammo last for 6 Lancasters, or one Yak3.

The best British tank of WW2 was the Comet, basically a stretched and up-armoured Cromwell with a slightly de-tuned 17 pdr. IIRC there was one division equipped with these for much of 1945.

The Churchill had great armour but was slow and had a mediocre gun. Maybe when supply rivers make an appearance in AH the AVRE bridge-laying variant of the Churchill might find a role in the game.

For the US, the Pershing or M36 would be the best LW MA tanks to do.

The IS2 would be a good choice for the Soviets, as would the Su-100 tank destroyer.

German late war armour is pretty much covered now, only the Jagdtiger is left to do. Also the Elefant, although that's more mid-war and doesn't give us much over the Jagdpanther. Prototypes like the Maus would be very unlikely to get in, it needs to be something that saw action in quantity.

Some of the late war tanks did see minimum action. So did the F4U-4, the La7 was put in battle late. I sure some of you might correct me. I am just saying what I read.

the La7 had some good numbers in 1945, with the 2 cannon version.
