some really good ideas you threw in here.

The M22 locust (airbone tank) is on of the best ideas for a reward unit i heard so far. Good work man. Hopefully the devs will see it ;)

Archer - Tank to replace the Cromwell Command tank... Armed with a 17 Pounder Anti-Tank gun on the back of the tank... Weaker front armour than back...
There's already a replacement for CCT, you can only have 1 reward unit per org unit.

Locust is a nice idea, cool looking little tank!
But the only thing i don't like is the SiG33, it's just toooo UGLY
normally i don't care about looks of tanks but their firepower, but look at this xD:

it looks like it would be blown on it's back when the gun fires!

and another thing i found looking for the m2 is this:

look at the side of the turret, what the hell..? xD

Great suggestions, I like everyone, except the ugly SiG33.

I rather want Brummbär or Sturminfanterigeschütz 33B.
Though the last one would fit better for Ostheer, cause they fought exclusivly in Stalingrad and were also destroyed there.

I think Archer would be a good reward unit for Firefly...it could be something like mobile 17pdr nest. Slightly better firepower than Firefly, because its a turretless tank destroyer. Maybe even bigger fire range similar to the Marder III and lower cost than Firefly. And i agree that Brummbar would be more suitable than SiG33...which is really an obsolete design in 1945, in which the game takes place. Other suggestions are fine with me.

I think the Comet 1 is replacing the Firefly..

SiG33.. Well.. the 33B is a bit rare.. Brummbar will probaably go into Ostheer...

Maybe the Sturmtiger? [As thats NOT Going to be in the OH do to realism..]

People dont want that tank becuase its ugly?

To tell you the truth, I think the Stug is a very ugly in real life, and super ugly in the gane. That still dosent mean I dont use it.
The Russians think there sooo tough, wait till the Ostheer comes...

I'd like to see the Marder III Ausf H as a replacement for the Ausf M that PE have at the moment.

Same functionality but a cooler looking tank and not a stupidly oversized model. Would be nice I think.

Cheers

The Archer should replace the firefly not the CCT , only a fool would use both fireflies and archers in the game!!!!

Allright but my argument still remains the same

Archer should replace firefly whereas comet should replace the cromwell

CCT is fine in itself with option of the staghound

Sturmtiger could be a suitable replacement for both the Tiger I and the hummel.
If you get into an argument with me, you're wrong.

Three things guys....

1) We're not going to just stick in 100 reward units, that's not how it works...its not a candy store...

2) To chose a unit it must be able to accomodate the following...must look cool,be able to be modeled and animated correctly,be able to replace a unit in a faction/tech tree without overlaping abilities of other units in the rest of the faction,be as good and balanced as the unit it replaces therefore not making the choice between the two automatic, must not really copy the unit of another faction and finally be able to serve a true purpose in the faction.

3) Historical vehicle abilities and game abilities are totally different things.
A PzII could be made as damaging and resilient as a KT if that meant it would be balanced and serve a purpose.
Therefore arguing how a 2 Pz3s would win vs an IS-2 etc, is a pointless debate
