What tank would you like to see next?

[Cybermat47]

There's only one for me

 

 

Why the Sturmpanzer IV?

 

Because it has a 150mm cannon, that's why

 

But to have it, we'd need a Normandy, Kursk, Italy, or Budapest map... so I really want to see it

[Finkeren]

I'll see your pathetic 150mm and raise with a 152mm "Zveroboy".

 

Seriously though: I think KV-1 and Pz IV F2 would be the most obvious next step.

I'll see your pathetic 152mm and raise with a 600mm "Karl-Gerät" (040/041)

 

 

Try to top that and Dora doesn´t cunt because it has to have tracks!

You know what?

 

I'll take on your 600mm in my SU-152. May the best tracked vehicle win.

 

Btw: Watch your language when you misspell "count"

Lol to that "c*nt".

By the way, I take all of your above stuff with the Tzar bomb.

Edit: my mistake, it's not an armored vehicle.

Pz IV with 75 L43 gun for Germans and BT-7 for Soviets. Why BT-7 you ask? Well, first of all it was one of the most numerous tanks in service 1941 - 1942. It's also very fast and 45 mm gun should be reasonable effective against German tanks (not sure about this, though). And of course Pz III is not totally useless against it, so it would be more interesting from game play perspective also. After that KV-1 and maybe Marder I. And some armoured cars! We need armoured cars!

[CheeseGromit]

Within the scope of the current game, StuG III F. I hope that fits, I'm going from what's in the editor. Second choice, Panzer IV L/43.

 

Outside of the current battles, Panther, it's my favourite tank

[6./ZG26_McKvack]

I want an 88 which can be transported with a truck and can be deployed

 

Or a Tiger if the next theatre allows it

[=362nd_FS=RoflSeal]

But.... none of those are tanks.

[Feathered_IV]

A Bergepanzer would be nice.  It would add an extra element to gameplay if you could respond to a damaged player's call and trundle out to save them.  Getting points for it of course.

I would love to see the Panther. But without Kursk there is no reason to implement it. Since I'm Still hoping for a Mediterranean Setting, a Panzer IV F2 would be nice.

Panzer IV F2 and KV1.

 

Maybe a StuG III F and a BT-7 too.

[71st_AH_Hooves]

I'll stick to what's already in game. The Panzer IV and the KV1.

[Wulf]

As Roflseal has already noted, there is a clear distinction among AFVs between tanks and self-propelled guns.  If the AFV has a big gun but it doesn't  have a rotating turret; it isn't a tank, it's a self-propelled gun. 

[Bearcat]

I don't really care... I'm in it for the planes.... The tanks are a nice option but if we never had another driveable one I would't mind. If more can be added with minimal impact on overall development fine with me but this is a flight sim first and foremost and I think that is always going to be the team's focus until perhaps later on inthesim's life cycle.

Rate of fire must be about 1/day.  SU-152 will win

[sop]

The Ferdinand/elefant has always fascinated me but is a 1943 TANK i think.

[Wandalen]

We got railroadtracks, i want the 80cm Dora :-)

All tanks allready available in game drivable/shootable.That should be the focus.Not some weird railroad monster OMG

Amazing!!!  But not from this planet.

I know, but it was easier to say tank

[Sokol1]

Instead more tanks - a more detailed tanks simulation.

And some AAA, FLAK/PAK guns manageable. 

[Wandalen]

A bit off topic, but imagin if we could manage all the stations on a ship/destroyer with a team online

+1 completely agree, I also invested in a flight sim and  devs should focus on priorities like performance first.

With steady basis i'm convinced that both pilots and tankers will have more fun. 

[Jade_Monkey]

I dont care so much for historical accuracy as long as they were in the eastern front at some point. So i would love to see panthers and tigers.

[Fern]

Just get a tank that will balance out with the T-34...

The Panther unfortunately didn't become available until early summer 1943....

 This for me 

 

 

Seriously guys, i am very happy with this sim, and also i love this idea about adding (this two) models of tanks, but also i think that if we start now asking and asking for more and more ground vehicles this Flight-simulator?? will diverse from it real base and lose quality in it by saturating the sim with things not too relevant (for flight).

 

 I do love T34 vs Panzer but it is ok with some units, so i am agree to  Bearcat.

Combat flight sims are all about blowing things up and shooting things down.  They're giving us more things controlled by humans that we can blow up.  The guy who gives us more things to shoot down is not involved in making things for us to blow up.  How could that possibly be bad?

That is your opinion, i respect it.

[Rjel]

I'd go for the Panzer IV as it's already in game. I think Feathered made the comment that it would be great if a full fledged developer could take over the work of adding tanks into IL2. I think the enthusiasm is there. I've had a great time just exploring the map and seeing what I can do. I've got to study the MB to try out some ideas I've got. I think the tanks have added so much more to the game than I expected. 

[KaC_Furias]

hmmm.... 

 

[Dakpilot]

I found taking out Panzer IV's easier than the Panzer III's,  Pz IV F2 historically had worse armor than III L (I think) and bigger target

 

Careful what you wish for

 

Cheers Dakpilot

[Brano]

Exactly.Its 75L43 gun will even the odds in cannon duel,but Pzkpfw IVF2 will be still inferior in armor protection.I would say StuGIIIF would fit better.It is quite low profile and harder to spot/hit.

[=362nd_FS=RoflSeal]

But considering currently game is set in summer-late 1942, we would have AusfG and we have L48 and 30mm applique armor to the front.

Agree with this selection. I have used BT-7 as AI tank in a mission and it's a better match for the Panzer III. The Panzer IV can fight the T34....

[Brano]

IIRC only 31 StuGIII F/8 with L48 gun were produced (oct-nov 42) and G model entered serial production in dec 1942.
