As far as my limited German tells me, Sturmgeschutz (StuG IV, STG44) means assault gun whereas Geschutzwagen means pretty much "shooting vehicle". Therefore, essentially most of the German WW2 vehicles fit into this category. It may well be that the word refers to all ranges of the marders (1,2,3 - Panzer 38(t) chassis), nashorn and elefant whilst also being tied to the specific marder-on-hotchkiss chassis ingame.
If you get into an argument with me, you're wrong.

Ok, this is starting to go Horribly offtopic. We're going to have to start going On Topic, or i'll have a Admin request to close the thread.

Indeed. long off topic posts usually mean the thread has run its course and is ready to lock....so if I do see more off topic posts this will be locked gents(and any subsequent threads with the same goal  ;)  )

There is different part of the forum for all the 'historic off topic discussions'

Out of curiosity have any of the suggestions people have made in this thread been useful or are likely to be included?

I don't want to defend the suggestions of prototype units, but i would like to point out the use of the Bergtiger in Coh could be used as a precedent for these. reason being only very few of these were produced and it was never meant for frontline combat. it was a recovery vehicle. (if the links from wiki page is correct).  And the crane on it was not strong enough to lift tanks.
berg panzer however is a different story.

If i were to add a tank i would say the M3 lee for the US would be an interesting addition. A large number of these were built. As a light tank replacement.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M3_Lee

For the British i think the Valentine tank would be a nice addition. as there were many variants of this. and saw much use through the north africa campaign.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valentine_tank

For the germans i think a panzer 3 tank (with option to be upgraded to panzer 4) would be okay.
OR
Perhaps the  sturminfanteriegeschutz would be an interesting tank to add for the germans. Although very few of these were made some did see action in Stalingrad.

And what they should replace?

Cromwell has yet a Bonus unit(unfortunately the Roos >:() also Command Cromwell and Firefly.
The only one that remain is Stuart, but Valentine is stronger that it (55mm Valentine and better armour against 37mm Stuart).

For M3 Lee I don't see any units which can be replaced by it.

Sturm Infanteriegeschutze can replace StuH42  ;)

PE: Aufklärungsfahrzeug (sry dont know name in Englisch version of Game) -> Pz. 1
Brit: Stuart -> Vickers 6-Ton, bren Carrier -> Daimler Dingo

not possible, it already has a replacement (schwimmwagen)
Jagd[tiger] is a buildable replacement for the Kettenkrad... It can cloak and cap points. :P

What about giving the opel blitz as a reward for the muniHT, and give the ability to reinforce to it and instead give the muniHT a passive ability to reduce the cost of the abilities.
