I'm seeing a lot of personal "wants" and not many AH2 "needs".  The current gv game has a lot of gaps.  It does not have a legit tank destroyer and it does not have a legit direct fire support vehicle. 

I'd say a TD such as the M10, M18, or the non-turreted Jagdpanzer (much would depend on the amount of swivel the gun has and how good the optics are) is needed prior to adding in any more tanks.  I'll vouch for the M18.

Also, an M3 halftrack with the 75mm cannon or the Sdkfz 251/9 with the 7.5cm cannon for HE support (both would be very much like the LVT4 but much faster) would fit the bill nicely.  The 251 is a bit more stout than the M3, so it would fair batter vs enemy fire.  The Priest or Saxon with the 105mm cannon would be good too.  I'll vouch for the 251/9.

Artillery for indirect fire, spotted by jeeps and such. Anti tank guns, towed by SDK or something.  More gameplay variety instead of more flavors of the same gameplay.

Try out the current 251 w/ the 45d firing angle.  Have your buddy in a jeep up and over the ridge adjust fire for you and tell us how quickly you abandon you quest to zero in your indirect fire.  ;)  Unless HTC implemted some a system like the 8in and 5in bnaval guns, a lot of time would be lost.  :)

I don't understand the problem. The 251 doesnt have enough ammo and the jeep at the moment doesnt have binocs, so its not really comparable as I see it. The M8 does great at ranging for the 251, Ive done it. Giving ground arty the same sort of point-click automation as navy guns have now would be way too easy.

Towed anti tank guns would be great to ambush ground offensives with. Towed AAA 88s too for that matter..

Difference between Sherman and Sherman Firefly Den.
The I guess you could say "normal" sherman had a 75mm gun, the firefly has an 85mm?? (I think, not too sure)
The Firefly wasn't mass produced like the normal Sherman because the Americans didn't want to put a British-made gun on their tanks

The Sherman Firefly had the OQF 17 pdr. (76 mm) high velocity main gun.

The British 17 pdr (tough also 76 mm) had a higher muzzle velocity than the US made 3 inch (also 76 mm) guns and could penetrate more armor. They were completely above the earlier short 75 mm guns used on most Sherman's.

The M3 with the 75mm howitzer to start. Wespe perhaps... something along those lines.

This will prolly be my last tour in AH but artillery of some sort outside the cruiser would be nice  :)

Planes
Ki-27
Ki-21 "Sally"
I-16 (with Soviet and Nationalist Chinese skins)

Ground Vehicles (Sorry for going past the 3 wish limit)
Char B1
Matilda
Panzer I
Panzer II
Panzer III Ausf.F
Panzer III Ausf.G
Panzer 38(t)
Panzer 35(t)

Any of the above planes and ground vehicles would be a great addition to the Early War set up.

Adding the "Standard" M4 is pointless.
