Well everyone is demanding new planes and tanks......
I would like the M-26 to be in the game...... or even the older shermans
Perhaps the Churchill tank....
but I WANT THE M-26 IN THE GAME!!!!!!!!!!!
-
There are many tanks that should be added before the M26. It saw very little service.

There were only 300 ME-163s produced and they shot down all of 9 aircraft. In fact they probably killed more German pilots flying them then Allied bomber crews. As far as I know there were only two instances of Comet "groups" "more then two" engaging Allied bombers.
It was an utter failure as a weapons system and had as minute a role in the war as an aircraft possibly could. So a pretty good argument could be made for the M-26 Pershing and that it qualifies. Most of all when you see dozens of comets upping to slash an HQ raid to ribbons. If 30% of them blew up on takeoff then it would be realistic.
The Pershing did actually see combat and did inflict casualties. Tho there are other tanks I'd rather see instead.

None of which makes the M26 a priority addition.

Well i also insisted other tanks but still
Maybe the M-26 could like unperk the firefly i guess, if we got the M-26 as like the American "tiger" perk wise (i guess) we could also put in the King Tiger....though im not too much into supporting the king tiger as a gv in ah2. Also, what about the Churchill tank??? Or the older sherman, the M-4a3 not the firefly....... and....BRING THE PANTHER TANK IN AHII!!!!!!!!!!
-
Gosh no more uber late war tanks, we need EW/MW tanks!!!! PanzerIII, M3 Grant, M3 Stuart, CrusaderIII, Puma, CharB and stuff like that.
I'm tired of these large heavy tanks that can kill anything in one shot and that are so slow. I want more torch tanks!!!!
-
More AA platforms, and more planes. This isn't WW2OL, and with the moderately retarded GV model, it would be a waste of time to model additional tanks that don't act like tanks.
-
Well i like gving at places like tank town...... I never get too much of a choice of tanks that I want to drive..... Plus I dont think the M-4a3 was a late war tank, and if it was just put in the earlier shermans....... But still, the germans shouldnt have all the high perked planes and tanks if anything.........
-
There are 2 perked tanks- 1 British modified M4, and 1 German Tiger. Hardly "all the perked tanks". The Germans have 3 perked planes- 1 jet fighter, 1 jet bomber, 1 rocket fighter. The Brits have 2 perked fighters (both prop jobs), and the Americans have 2 perked fighters, which means the Allies have more perked planes than the Germans. Again, hardly "all the perked planes".
The ground game in AH is a waste. A sideshow of absolutely unrealistic tactics and vehicle models.
-
Germans still had the fastest and their 262 is pretty much most used next to the tempest.......
plus american stuff isnt even that highly perked, most ive ever seen a 1c hog or a -4 hog was like 30 on the c and 25 on the -4

Here is a photo of a M26 Pershing taken at North Korea's famous "Victorious Fatherland Liberation War Museum" in Pyongyang.

The caption reads thus:
Captured Imperialist America Heavy Army Tank, Model M26
Taken January 1951 by hero soldiers of the People's Army of Korea. After the great Imperialist invasion, the third counterattack liberated Seoul a second time. American butchers cowardly fleeing the city in this tank were destroyed.
If you want to learn more about the museum, there is an official North Korean Government film about it that you can view on YouTube here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftFFH4M-nJo
The video shows some Russian made airplanes at the museum, which were used by the North Koreans. Apparently the Russians gave them quite a few of their old WWII Yak planes to use in the war.

Well, they aren't twin engined jets. I don't think it's reasonable to expect some ordnance carrying prop planes to be perked as heavily as a jet fighter. Think about that for a minute.

angelsandair, if u saw a CHog for 30, then the -4 would be like 35, the -4 is more expensive then the 1C

lol love how they make themselfs look like heros. Your talking about a country that lies to its people, and keeps them locked in their country, with no internet, no tv, no phones, or other technology to allow them to contact the out side world.

Authoritarian governments always make their soldiers out to be heroes and the enemy to be vile without any redeeming qualities. Makes control of the populace easier.

I would be interested to know of any government that does not do this............

Not to the blantant level in that description of the tank. Non-authoritarian governments have to contend with things like a free press that has an irritating habit of poking holes in silly statements like on that tank.

F4U-1C's base cost is 10 or 12 perks. F4U-4 is higher, 30ish?

You forget that North Korea is ruled by a deity:
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/3d/Kim_Jong_il.jpg)
Let's see, it is reported that about 200,000 people in North Korea are locked up in concentration camps. Another 100,000 have illegally fled to China, mainly because 12% of the Korean population is considered to be extremely malnourished, and many thousands have actually died from starvation in recent years.
Meanwhile, their leader Kim Jong-il is reported to be the biggest movie fan in the world, with a video tape library of over 20,000 movies. While his people are dying of starvation, he purchased 200 new Mercedes Benz S500 luxury sedans for himself and the rest of the ruling elite. He also has a total of 17 palaces and plush villas that alternates residing in. Some of these have bomb proof bunkers and AA artillery batteries.
The press in North Korea also reports that he is an avid Golfer, and so talented that he recently had 4 holes in one in a single round of Golf.
He is terrified of flying in an airplane, though, and consequently has only traveled abroad to China and Russia. On these trips, he travels only in a special personal armored train that is designed to resist bombing attacks.
In addition, he is considered to be a noted authority on the subject of expensive French wines:

Besides his official wife, has also had 3 official mistresses, that have also given him children. No count has ever been given to the number of concubines he keeps, but they are considered to be numerous.
Finally, he has stated that he himself is an expert on using the Internet, and is an avid player of Aces High II.

My responce was a rather pedantic reference to Karnaks choice of words.................. not a veiled attempt to justify anything out of North Korea. (except of course the rather suspicous report that its leader is an avid AH player........ :lol maybe there is hope yet!)
Karnak clarified his intent quite adequately IMO
Interestingly North Korea is not the only country to be ruled by a self anointed Diety.............. indeed at a lesser level many governments apparantly believe they are anointed of a Diety and most seem to rule by what is refered to as the "Grace" of a Diety.
Well I suppose if you cant be a Diety its best to persuade your populace that you have one on your side.;)

Oh GOD above if he was actually an AH plyer I would actually pay cash so I could know who he was and would for the first time in my AH life change sides so I could shoot him down... Over and Over and Over Over and Over and Over Over and Over and Over Over and Over and Over.......
Ever see how the nasty guys are short geak looking guys, kinda like bill gates....

The flaw in Bush's logic is that he believes that God is in favor of democracy, and will thus support any democratic nation fighting against a non-democratic one.
However, God clearly must be on Bin Laden's side. He first brought down Russia's economy with the war in Afghanistan, and since then he has managed to trigger an over-reaction by America ( the war in Iraq ), the cost of which has now finally made our economy collapse too.
Russia is only now recovering economically. The Bush debacle will leave the USA in ruins for many years as well.
It will be a long, long time before a Republican will ever get elected President of the United States again. Probably at least 20 years or more.
