Tanks.
« on: October 01, 2009, 05:48:29 PM »
The Panzer Panther, the Konistiger(King Tiger), and Jagdpanther(turretless tank-killer), m26 Sheridan, Churchhill, Cromwell, Stewart, Puma.

I remember Aces of the Pacific had a four-engine Japanese bomber with a cannon on the back of it. It's been so long, I don't remember it's name.

Aimable walking-stuka rockets(couldn't they aim them in the war?? Or at least adjust the angle)

Wishing big here, but Submarines and battleship fleets.

Can't a monkey dream?

Good looking with the spelling. There's plenty more tanks too.

The Hetzen(low profile turretless tank). I thought it was called the Sheridan, mostly because of Company of heroes(genuinely I had never heard of it before that)

If we intend to have scenerios about 'what if' things, why not add more jets? The Brits had one called the Vampire and the American's also had one, forget the name. The war was over by then, but it is what it is.

The fact that this game doesn't have at least the Panzer Panther is -beyond- me, as that tank was widely regarded as perhaps the finest overall in the war until the t34 started rolling heavy.

And oh! The m10 wolverine(I think it was the m10), a fast moving, light armor tank which was intended to flank and destroy in suppliment with the sherman.

I appreciate that. But I'm in a gv squad and all I do is fly, understand and it is a battlefield game. I'm just considering which vehicles really swayed the war, the Panther was definitely one of them of all those mentioned. Genuinely, if the Panther and, if, the m26 were added, most of the better tanks would be in the game. Everything else is early war, much shorter range, greatly reduced power or lacking a turret.

I had forgotten about the Stug and Marder III. Good stuff. :)

Yes, but the home page says "air, land and sea". Does that clear it up for you?

The M-26 Pershing entered the war almost at the end, February 1945 and saw very little action. To include it in this game may cause all the other tanks to become inconsequential.
