Three vehicles ?
« on: November 27, 2008, 05:57:07 AM »
What three vehicles do you think "must" be added to the game next? The criteria isn't "what you want", but instead, "what must be added to keep the game historically pure"? Go outside your "wants" and think outside the box.

Grant/Lee Tank ...was used in many many theatres ....Tunisa...the far east ....lead lease Eastern front ...was all over the globe ....would be very useful for  events

Some version of the Panzer III ....probably the short barrelled III-h would be a good choice


British Cruiser III or a Cromwell ......the Cruiser III would be nice for events ...the Cromwell would be semi-useful for all aspects of the game


I'll add one more ....the Kv-1 terrified the germans ....hard not to include something so legendary

The "standard" Sherman Tank with 75mm gun

A non-turreted TD that is based on a current chassis:  SU85, Jagdpanzer IV with 75mm/L70.  Using a current chassis should shorten the development time to get it in the game.  Having one of these would be a good experiment to see if they would actually be used in game.

SDKFZ 234- Puma   German armored car with a decent gun (especially when using APCR ammo)

and a fourth because they seem to be easier to implement than an entirely new GV. The many variants that used the US and German Half Tracks.  These variants included howitzers, AT guns, and other specialist armaments.

"3 vehicles" can also include "aircraft".

I was just wondering what three would be considered most important if personal "wants" were left out. In other words criteria would be, "to make the game as historically accurate as possible". What three would be needed most?

Using this criteria it would be hard to argue against the 111. For that matter a Russian level bomber too.

For that matter a heavy Soviet breakthru tank, or TD, would also have to be considered.
