My issue with GVs is that they are not modeled to the same standard as the aircraft in AH.  Otherwise they might be interesting to drive, but at the moment they are boring to me.

The other issue that I have with GV's in FSO is that the historical choice is abysmal making anything close to a historical match up impossible in most cases.

I would think that T-34/85 plus T-34/76 versus Tiger plus Panzer IV is pretty even...

So we've got a barebones Eastern Front set...
Don't we usually have some kind of unholy mixture of The Tiger, T34/85, and Firefly almost no matter what is run?

I don't really follow the ground war unless I'm assigned to it so I apologize but here's an example of what I mean.

In Dawn of Battle PzKpfW IV's were sub'd in for Shermans with 75mm guns. That's the kind of stuff that kills the ground war for me. It's not about the gameplay, it's that if I wanted to shoot a Panzer in a Panzer I'd play in the MA.

I'll make you a promise Bubi, I'll never make you go Panzer vs. Panzer in FSO.  The only repetition I see being required right now is using M8s for Sd.Kfz 231s, and some issues with AA vehicles.  My setup for this month was going to be the 4 tanks described above plus M8s, M16s, for both.

The problem with volunteer events is that people won't staff certain tanks.  FSO is a draft event, people have to staff them.

I only said that I don't enjoy that kind of thing... I understand that you guys do what you can with what you've got.

Well, some things might be worth waiting until we have the tools to do it properly.   :aok
