I hope that the army portion of the game is increased....alot I noted from the first day the new version came out that record numbers of people were playing. I like the tanks alot.
Still, the lack of ground objects and vunerability to air attack makes them somewhat of a trick pony.
HT said in the arnea once that icons for enemy tanks will go away, and there will be more ground details to play in. God, I hope so.
The terrain needs to be a little flater in some areas with a large number of small hills instead of the few, but massive hills in the terrain now. Chugging up hills in second gear or screaming downhill doing 90mph isn't what I had in mind.
Mobile artillery will aid in attacking base defenses. I hope that their destructive payload is on par with a bomber. I know the M7 preist is on the drawing board. It might be a good call (105mm howtitzer isn't small), but I always thought the German Hummel looked pretty good. Still, the Hummel has no .50 cal air machine gun cupola like a Priest, and only had a limited 16 rounds of ammo aboard unlike the Priest's 64 rounds.
The gun on the tank should recoil, including an animated barrel retracting into the turret for a second. Its eye candy, but it is something I would like to see.
The Sherman M4A3 armed with a 76mm gun would be nice, as would a T-34.
The big thing is still the terrain though.
