The Following are all (Allied US namely) :

 M3
 M8
 M16
 LVTA2
 LVTA4
 PT

 The Following are German:

 Tiger
 Panzer IV
 Ostwind.

 Gee seams the allies are ahead 2 to 1:)

 Would be nice to see a Sherman though.

Lvts are amphibs, i'm talking about tanks, shermans etc./m3 is a troop transport, m16 is a anti air,...

Only two of those you mentioned are tanks and they are both German. Looks like the Axis are ahead 2 to 0 in the tank category. The Allies are significantly ahead in the uber-amphibian and torpedo boat category. I'd gladly see an Axis torpedo boat and some Axis amphibs (if there even were any) in exchange for one model of the Sherman. And yes, I'm sure you agree. :D



p.s. If and when HT models subs .. I hope he models at least one Axis and one Allied. I'd suggest the Gato class for the Allies and the Type VII U Boat for the Axis (if a Japanese sub was to be modeled I'd suggest the "B1" - Japan didn't build very many of one particualr class but this one was the most numerous - http://www.combinedfleet.com/type_b1.htm - interesting boat). :cool:

I would like to see a Sherman modleled, the T34 was a better tank but IN AH you nead an AA gun so the Sheram is the best bet, any tank without an AA gun is just a bad idea.

 Be nice to see an S-Boat they sank a lot more tonage than the PT's and had some aromr on them, be a bit more survivable than the PT's.


 Yes I see what you mean by "Tanks".

I have to say that the idea of a bigger GV Stable is really needed. More boats and tanks say I! :) Having only one boat to spawn with is really kinda lame. :)

I would like to see a few Russian models as well as the brit "Firefly", to name a few, but also the ability to spawn destroyers like PT's, imagine spawning those at a port for defense! Make the spawn point be the docs for the destroyers like the VH is for the PT. I would spend some time tooling about the ocean in a Destroyer, even hang about the CV to provide extra defense. But the ability to spawn troops should stay with the carrier.

Again I have to get in my two cents worth in the GV dept.
A Sherman would be nice and some other Allied tanks AND vehicles. This is the perfect opportunity to bring in the Whirblewind, 4 - 20mm cannons on a Panzer frame. Have a lot of the gun platforms and AA batterys manned by more than one person.  {AH was saying they wanted "teamwork"}
In WWII one guy didn't operate an AA gun or a ship mounted Bofers 40mm AA gun! Make it realisic is what I say.

... which topic reminds me..

 I recall hearing the Ostwind 37mms fired shells in exploding "flak" style, not in the current "ack" style.

 Is this true?

 ....

 If it is, it would be nice to see a change. Maybe the lethality would go down a bit, but the damage/hit probability would go up..??  

 But then again, seeing how people spray the rounds, it'd be pretty bad for the frame rate when a couple of Osties start making zillions of puffballs.. :)

Ostwind was also used to engage soft ground targets occassion so I don't think their ammo had flak explosions.

As for adding more tanks, I'd like to see:

Sherman
Pershing
Matilda
Churchill
T-34
Tiger II


The T-34 would receive a small perk and the Tiger II would also have to be perked as would the Pershing.
