Here is a revised list for ya; as a near exclusive GV'er, I feel this would help more than the origional list:


Stug III ausf G (free)
Jagdpanzer IV L48 (free)
SdKfz 251/22 (free)
Hetzer (free)
Marder III (free)
M18 (free)

Jagdpanzer IV L70 (50 perk base price)
Jagdpanther (70 perk base price)
Nashorn (5 perk base prices; the damn thing has about 30mm of armor on the front)
Su-85 (5 perk base price)
Archer (10 perk base price)
M36 (50 perk base price)


Just estimates of the price of course.

     A few years back I had an interesting conversation with a former 251 crewman.  He said the problem
with mounting a large AT gun on a halftrack is that you garnered attention from vehicles that yours just
couldn't handle.  Like an 8 year old sucker punching a prize fighter.  Sure sometimes you get a lucky punch
in, but good night Irene when they retaliate  :D

Which is why when/if we get the 251/22, this will be my formula for survival:

1) find good ambush spot
2) find good exit route
3) kill enemy tank
4) run like hell
5) land kills


And personally, I have enough confidence in my gunnery that I feel safe taking on 3-4 guys at once. I can kill/turret them fast enough that I usually make it away with 1-2 hits at max.

Su-85 (5 perk base price)
Same gun and chassis as the T-34/85, but without a turret . . . I wouldn't expect it to be perked if it was added.

Happy to see so many people with me on this, however I think a Panther would be nice, or also a heavy allied tank so as...

KV-85
Churchhill
Persing

Or seeing that we have so many allied medium tanks, why not add a bit more flavor to the Axis? Such as...

Panther
Puma(( I know it's not a tank, but it'd be damn fun to recon in this thing with that big ol' gun ^^))

Not really, only a short production run were made with that gun mostly of the T34-85 were made with the ZiS-S-53 85 mm gun (im not sure wich one we have), but the SU-85 was a lil more faster (1km/h lol) and is smaller than the T-34, was a great anti-tank gun so should be lil perked (highly mobile and well armored, this one can kill Tigers and Phanters from high range shoots)

That you say it can kill a tiger or panther from "high range" proves you know nothing about this. The 85 just gives ricochets out past 1600yds or so. And seeing as the Tiger or Panther could kill one out past this just means that its at an even greater disadvantage.

I say it should have a 5 perk base price because it's smaller (easier to hide and it makes a smaller target), can kill a tiger with some consistency out to 1000yds or so, and because it has good armor.

From what I've seen, there was really no difference between the ZiS-S-53 and the earlier guns.  At least nothing in terms of performance in the game.  Simplified and cheaper to manufacture, nothing more.

Well, Like I said I don't know wich gun we have in our T-34-85 but im talking about the SU-85 in RL, read a lil about it and you will see by your self, was an amazing anti-tank vehicle

And yes E25280, but think about it... we are talking about the game that an m4-76 can make a lot more ricochets than an T34-76/85 (camping I could kill a T-34-85 with 2 hits and need 3-4 to kill a M4-76, same range in the same spot), my max on that one was 19 richochets in an m4-76 from an Firefly, and I got killed with 1 hit. (long range shoots)  :angel:

Well Vadjan, you must suffer the same bad luck that afflicts much of the player base. There are tons of complaints about the M4A3(76) being too tough, and hitting too hard. I personally find its about as easy to kill as the T-34 at long and short range and that it's gun is about at par with the KwK 40 on the panzer (a little bit better at long range I feel, but this may be due to the ROF), which would make sense.


And IRL, the '85 was a great gun; not quite in the same leauge as the '88, but still excellent in its own right. But it still lacked the puch to kill the Tiger and Panther at long range, even in real life it could only penertate 118mm of armor at 1000m (1056yds), which I would call short-med range.

Hey BAR, I've never been able to find this out, but did the guns used by the M18, M10, and M4(76) differ in preformance? Or were they pretty much the same gun, but with minor modifications?

Out of the list the StuG III Ausf. G, would be a nice fit.

76-mm Tank Gun M1, M1A1, M1A1C and M1A2. Source: Chamberlain, Peter and Ellis, Chris: British and American Tanks of World War II and Hunnicutt, R. P.: Sherman: A History of the American Medium Tank. The M1 series of tank guns was ballistically almost identical to the 3-in Anti-Tank Gun M5 and M7. The M1 series was lighter and smaller to fit into a tank turret, with the propellant charge being adjusted to achieve the same muzzle velocity as the 3-inch guns. The M1AC and M1A2 had muzzle brakes fitted.

just really only difference in size and weight. the M1A1 76mm and M7 3" both had almost identical performance :aok

Thanks guys.


And Kev, why the StugIII in particular? Hetzer, Jagdpanzer IV 'L48, and the M18 would all be very nice additions.
