What should next set of tanks be?

[Raneman]

When we add another set of tanks to the game- what tanks will they be?

[Nezzer]

Theyhave already said it'd be T-70 and PzIII. I hope after that we get StuGIII and KV-1.

[Koemf]

Maybe Tigers?
Read this:

The second unit promised to Rommel, the 503rd, was to receive Porsche-Tigers, but the cancellation of production resulted in the 503rd being outfitted with 20 Panzerkampfwagen Tiger Ausf.E and 25 Pz.Kpfw.III Ausf.N in November and December 1942, and first saw action in southern Russia, during the Don campaign and the withdrawal from Stalingrad.

I read the same in a book about Stalingrad.
The Tigers were used in a failed action to save the 6th army.

[Dr.Phibles]

dont need tigers yet as long as the germans still have that stupid AT rifle advantage

KV and stug would be very nice tho

[DAT]

No tigers were used in Mansteins weak Push to relieve the 6th Army. MKIV's and III's mostly. Tigers saw action around Leningrad in late 42 which is horrible tank country. A lot of tigers did see action in 42 in Tunisia which historically is preety cool considering they were airlifted there by the huge junkers but failed miserably considering logistics of supporting them.

We need a Stug and the KV1. Tigers would be very cool, but they werent around in Stalingrad!

I've seen many say this, but I've yet to see any actual proof posted. Have I missed some dev post or something?

Personally I think a T-70 and a Pz3 would be a terrible idea. What chance does a T70 have against a long barrel Pz4? Pretty much none. What chance does a Pz3 have against a T34? Pretty much none. Boy... those new tanks are really going to mix up the tank maps!?

I think a stug3 and kv1, as you mentioned, would make far more sense. Those two vehicles can fight with and against the current tanks, while adding some diversity.

Might be relevant:

I think it was this although there is some question of L/42 or the much more common L/60:

Actually, a lot more chance than the T70 vs a frontal Panzer IV. Look here:



The 50mm KwK 39 L/60 could penetrate the 52 mm turret front/mantlet of the T-34/76 Model 194? at under 500 meters, it could destroy the glacis hatch, and it could penetrate the 45 mm glacis itself at under 100 meters. Look here:

Ummm how can they add content when they haven't fixed the game?? plus on what maps would you put tanks? maybe 2 at this point? the current maps are way to small. Cant wait for community maps though. A usual the community will fix another broken mod.
