New GV's now, please?

[Nemisis]

OK, WW1 is out, HTC tackled a big item on the list, and bugs are getting fixed at a good pace. Once we work the kinks out of the WW1 arena, and get the stuff it screwed with fixed, can we PLEASE get some new GV's?

Panzer III Ausf. J/N

Hetzer

StuG III Ausf. G

M4A3/M4A3 (76)

Churchill mk IV

Cromwell mk VIII

In order of preference of course.

IMO more aircraft need to be added before GV's. Especially since most of HTC's resources are going to be going into bettering WW1. This is a AIR COMBAT game after all.

I still want hills back!

sorry can you point me to ANYWHERE in ANY description that says this is ONLY an air combat game?

I'm willing to bet that most of HTC's efforts are going to be focused on working the kinks out of the new damage model in the WW1 arenas, then applying it to the WW2 arenas...  Personally, I wouldn't expect too much in the way of new GVs or aircraft for awhile...

But honestly, I'm looking forward to the new damage model.

Sure, Batch!

The game is about aerial combat and that takes precedence to everything else. There will be tanks and such in the game but they won't ever be the main focus.

Vehicles will be useful for harrassing the enemy and capturing bases. There will be a lot more vehicle bases scattered around the terrain than airfields, so the travel distances won't be a huge factor.

But the gist of the message is that yes, we'll be putting more into this game than airplanes but our focus of the game is still aerial combat.

I would like to see the M4 Sherman, the 1st one along with the Panzer III Ausf H, and the M-3 Stuart.

11 years ago that may have been true........ note the date...... that was posted literally days after this game was released......... back when they thought air only noobs could support them

now 11 years later......... take gvs out of the game and you take a huge chunk of the community with you

     You're the spokesman for the entire GV community then?  No one is suggesting we remove the GVs btw.

[whels]

Pwnt.   

sorry he didnt pwnt anything.   Front page of HTC web site. in the red boarder, clearly says
"Engage in Air Land or Sea combat"  it also says " WWII combat expierence".

I wish people would stop over analyzing everything the crew from HTC has said. I also doubt by removing GV's a very large group of the community would go with them. If they cared about ground combat that much, its probable they would be playing a different game.
HTC has limited resources, more people want aircraft then vehicles. Making a new thread every week begging them for gv's doesn't help.
It's in the name for heavens sake.

Last time I checked, Hitech was CEO of the company, not Pyro. If HT says there will be GV's ("engage in air, LAND, or sea combat"), then there will be GV's. If we had more of them, then they would start to rival AC in base captures, and usuage IMO.

About the only thing that tops GV's and AC in importance is working the kinks out of what we have now (we just got some new stuff). But since the main holes in the AC line up are EW, Jap, Italian, and, to a lesser extent, Russian planes and non US bombers, GV's should get a turn.

We have 5 tanks, to the 50 or so fighters we have. We have no tank destroyers, no panther, no KV tanks, and no british tanks (firefly uses a british GUN, the tank itself is US).
