I think we should get another vehicle after the panther Tank, and i was thinking the Universal Carrier. With some 113,000 built in the United Kingdom and abroad, it was the most numerous armoured fighting vehicle in history.
specs
Mk I
Weight 3.75 t
Length 12 ft (3.65 m)
Width 6 ft 4 inch (1.92 m)
Height 5 ft 2 inch (1.57 m)
Crew 2
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Armour 7–10 mm
Primary
armament commonly 0.303 Bren light machine gun or (0.55 in) Rifle, Anti-Tank, .55 in, Boys. American M1919 and M2 machine guns also possible.
Engine Ford V-8 petrol[1]
85 hp at 3,500 rpm[1]
Suspension Horstmann
Operational
range 150 miles (250 km)[1]
Speed 30 mph (48 km/h)
Wasp
A flamethrower-equipped variant, using the "Flame-thrower, Transportable, No 2". The Mark I had a fixed flamethrower, Mk II had the projector in the co-driver's position. Both had the fuel tank within the rear compartment. The MkIIC (C for Canadian) moved the fuel tank to the rear of the vehicle
Pounder Anti-tank Gun Carrier (Aust)
The Carrier, Anti-tank, 2-pdr, (Aust) or Carrier, Tank Attack, 2-pdr (Aust) was a heavily modified and lengthened LP2 carrier with a fully traversable QF 2 pounder anti-tank gun mounted on a platform at the rear and the engine moved to the front left of the vehicle. Stowage was provided for 112 rounds of 2pdr ammunition. 200 were produced and used for training.[7]
The Carrier, 3-inch Mortar (Aust) was a design based on the 2 Pounder Carrier with a 3-inch mortar mounted in place of the 2 pounder. Designed to enable the mortar to have 360 degree traverse and to be fired either from the vehicle, or dismounted. 400 were produced and were ultimately sent as military aid to the Nationalist Chinese Army
i think this should be the next vehicle to be added into the game. Plus it was used as a forward observation vehicle for Self propelled artillery units.

I personally wouldnt mind having the Bren Gun Carrier in here. but with the Bren Gun mount it would almost be useless because all the mounts were in the front and we already have the jeep which was faster and the .50 mount on that can defend against aircraft unlike the Carrier.
the AT rifle could be useful though...

and the wasp was a killer in the ambush mode. they would hide in a group of three and burn up the crew of a tiger inside. this happened quite a bit in normandy
