I'd give it about 30 seconds against a MarkIV with an average tank driver, and about 2 shots with Storm, Snefens, or any of the other tank aces.

I'd love to see it. It would add some speedy fire power. I would like to see the Puma and the M24 Chaffee and most of all the US M18. The M18 had a top speed of 55 mph and a 76.2mm gun.

Jimdandy we are definitely on the same page about armor.  Those vehicles you mention are very well suited for this game.

It's because we're more funked up than most.  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif) Here's a couple more I think would be fun:

The British Daimler Mk I and  the AEC MkIII.

The US M8.

For those who don't know those pictures are from the U.S. Army Ordinance Museum (http://www.ordmusfound.org/) at the Aberdeen Proving Grounds, Aberdeen MD.  The armor (Including Anzio Annie) are out in the weather and many are showing their age.  The U.S.A.O.M.F. is attempting to raise the money to build an Amphitheater to enclose the tanks, and further raise money to restore/recondition the over 125 pieces they have.

I believe you can make a donation via the site.

Aberdeen is about 1 hour North of Baltimore, two hours North of Washington D.C. and 1½ hours south of Philidelphia.  The Museum on the inside has most of the small arms and artillery shells also.

Well,

HTC has made it clear they are primarly running a FLIGHT sim. With some land and sea stuff to add variety interest (and targets :-).

I wouldn't get my hopes up to see a vast profusion of different kinds of land vehicles.

I will say, though (this is purely my educated guess) that I'm fairly certain the next perk to be announced will be a Tiger or a King Tiger..

Perk points are divided into fighters, bombers, and vehicles, and you can't switch them around.

And the Tiger has been specifically mentioned by Pyro as an example of a Perk vehicle.

They have 1 perk each for fighters and bombers....I should think they will want the vehicle people to have something to use those perks on.

However, I really wouldn't expect more than a T-34, some variant of a Sherman, and some sort of British tank anytime in the forseeable future (Again, this is purely educated guessing on my part.)

The Sodka would be great! It's like the US M3 Halftracks, there are a huge number of variants.

There are about 20 different AAA gun configurations on the Pz38 chassis alone.

Btw the Elephant is basically a Tiger II without the turrent and cross-country manuverability. Blah to that.

The Hertzer is one of those Pz38 based modifications  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

This is the only perk tank I need...

I second Downtown's motion  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
History needs to be preserved, plus from my own brief tour at APG, those mother's are a b#@tch to repaint.

P.S. Gawd I hate that new color, they looked better back in the '80's
