B-25H?  :devil
Afk for a year or so.  The name of a gun turret in game.  Falanx, huh? :banana:
Apparently I'm in the 20th FG 'Loco Busters', or so the legend goes.

Hurricane Mk IId, Il-2?

Axis are the ones lacking any dedicated air-to-armor units in AH.

I always found a 500 or 1,000lb bomb to work just fine.

First, I think the Firefly could get an updated ammo load.  I know there were HE rounds available, but something tells me since they were designated TD's they have far fewer HE rounds on hand than AP rounds.  Why would a Firefly, a designated TD, ever go into the field with only HE??? Just a hunch, though.

Secondly, if there is a TD that could be added to the game with relative ease it would be the M10.  AH already has the chassis and the gun in the game.  The open turret is all that would be needed.

Thirdly, I'd vote for the M18 or Su100.  Both would brig something new to AH.  I hope the Su100 wold open the door for true tread traversing instead of car-like steering, but I know there are "coading" issues involved.  The 100mm D-10S APHE round could penetrate 150mm of 0 degree armor at 1000 yards.  The Su100 had 75mm of sloped armor up front, had 45mm on sides and rear, and 20mm on the top.  Speed was 30mph at best.  The main gun could only traverse 10 degrees left and right, and it carried only 34 rounds of ammo.  It has the same chassis as the T34.  It is void of any MG's for self defense.

M 10 achillies which has a 17 pounder and the 75mm gun

M 18 Hellcat why not it was the fastest thing on treads.

Beaufighter and the halifax Mk III or the short stirling need to be added if were getting another us 4 engine heavy then its time for one of the other aliied four engine heavies to be added 

and the beaufighter deservesto be here it had a great service record.
