Talked to Pyro at the last con about adding the M8. Meybe someday (he says wistfully).

I would like to see the M4 and meybe one of the Brit tanks added and have the Pz4 nominally perked (like 5 to 10).

Ooops SRI. Meant M7. (math was never my strong suite:D). Was thinking about the fun of being able to sit a couple of miles away and drop 105mm rounds on an airfield :).

I've been pushing for an M4 Sherman Calliope for awhile now.  Soviet T-34 would be nice, too.  And the M7 Priest and maybe a Jagdpanzer anti-tank vehicle, too.

Sherman jumbo.178MM of frontal armor (7 inches!!). I believe they had models of this tank with the 76MM gun. had 2 .30 cals and a .50 in the pintle. perked?

Jadgpanzer IV/70 with the 75MM/l70 gun (same on as on the panther, better than the 88/56 on the tigre against armor anyways) could carry up to 60 rounds for the main gun and 1200 for the mg. deffinetly perked, but not too high of a price, say 25?

perked of course.

I suggest the British Sherman Firefly, that long 76mm gun was a Tiger killer. Perked of course. As it stands right now the only thing that can kill a Tiger is another Tiger.

Tanks ? We have.
What we need is Mobile Artillery and the
88s.
Ofcourse we need also Katiusa rockets.
Then you shall see what war means :)
What fleet can come near our field when
the  155's  wait @ the beach ?
Or imagine a massive artillery attack on
a field and the massive exodus air & ground to hunding you.
Mobile Artillery in general is need where
we cant have fleet.
Or let this Tiger come in the field when
you wait him with the 88 :)
