Canada: sense we have one map for them lets give them their stuff.

Crusier Mk.I Ram

Crusier Mk.II Ram
Link: http://www.military.cz/panzer/tanks/...2/index_en.htm

15-CWT Truck
Link: http://www.military.cz/panzer/tanks/...t/index_en.htm

Wasp2 Flamer carrier

kangaroo APC

skink Anti-Aircraft tank

If the team could add any of these into the mod at some point I would be vary happy. I would perfer if Canada gets somthing first as they have almost all US equipment now and it would be nice to see more of their standing military. Mabe some more maps for Canada too would be nice.

Re: Some vehicle Suggestions
 
Some good suggestions, however ithinks some shouldn't be in the mod for various reasons firstly the Flakpanzer IV is a class vehicle, but the version with the quad 20mm Flakvierling 38 was only a prototype. Production versions mounted the 3.7cm Flak 43, the quad 20mm was ditched in favour of the Flak 43 because it couldn't penetrate the armour of the IL-2 and IL-10, and would be virtually useless in its intended role on the eastern front. The Ram should not be included in the mod because they never saw combat, and were used for training (most were later converted into Ram Kangaroo APC's), also the Skink should'nt be included in the mod because only two vehicles were produced and only one of these saw action, but not in the air-defence role.

Re: Some vehicle Suggestions
 
there are two different Flakpanzer 4 with quad 20mm guns, the Wirbelwind (limited production but saw battle on Western front) and the prototype 20mm Möbelwagen (who had to deploy before firing)
I think our friend above is talking about the Wirbelwind, the Ostwind was also a limited production so why wouldn't the Wirbelwind be ingame?

I'd see a Panzer 2 Luchs and a Hetzer fitting well on some maps :)

How about one of the best light tanks of the war, the M24 Chaffee. Used in the Pacific mainly, some in Europe too.

Quote:

The M24 Chaffee -- arguably the best light tank of World War II -- was a fast light armoured vehicle with the ability to deliver relatively large caliber direct fire with the excellent 75 mm M6 gun. More than 4.000 were produced by Cadillac and Massey-Harris during 1943-45. The first reached Europe in late 1944, where they proved very effective and highly reliable.

the panzeriii and the t-26 would open new doors to early war maps in europe

the chafee would balance the japanese maps with its light armor

the max armor isnt even an inch thick http://www.gamingforums.com/images/smilies/eekx.gif

I was mearly pouting Ideas out there thats all and I chose to focus on Canada because they are using mostly US equipment, so I thought why not give them some more of their own stuff and to add in some maps for them as well.

I thought the Strumtiger would be good because it's a totaly different kind of tank shooting 380mm rockets insted of shells, and the early French tanks because they were used by Germany too. would make some realy fun early war battles with this stuff. Plus the US need another type of atry peace other than the common Priest. the GMC would be a great one to have as it had more power and was used alot for blowing up buildings.
