The Panther "M-10" ya it looks very convincing actually and to a green observer would could have easily passed for an allied AFV.

Im surprised more dont ask for the M-36 Jackson though with all this talk of TDs. 90mm gun on an M-10 chassis.

Oh is there some reason you cant get a good hull down ambush position in the game with a TD that has a decent gun with a good ROF what prevents that?

Fill in the gaps, fellas.

The M18 would fill a gap we currently have (fast, very well gunned, lightly armored, vulnerable to air attack).  It would be a bane to enemy tanks.

The M10 would be a weak armored M4A3 W (76mm) with less anti-infantry capability, with more vulnerability to air attack.
