If we look at more recent history, insulting the devs never seems to get people very far.

Regardless of whether it was fielded or not, which is debatable but you can't rule it out, the tank can be plausibly fielded in the Soviet unit roster. The same cannot be said for the Centurion which just doesn't fit within the British faction.
If you get into an argument with me, you're wrong.

[...]I wonder if anyone can guess what the new PE unit will be before it's announced (who isn't a dev, tester or translator of course).
as i have no idea i'll throw in the Nashorn  ;)

To be honest, Voss Tiger is a waste of space and doesn't count as a reward unit. You guys should think about another reward unit for Wehr (not the Maus lol).
Actually this is a fact. Voss Tiger skin is:
1) just a skin
2) boring, because there are no stat changes
3) another Tiger

So, no reward units after all. Either it should be replaced or another reward unit should be added.
+1, it should stay as a reward for the tiger, but shouldn't be counted as a real reward unit.

Jagd[tiger] is a buildable replacement for the Kettenkrad... It can cloak and cap points. :P

No, I think he understands fine. He's probably more excited than any other single person on here about it. We're discussing the pointlessness of including the Voss Tiger skin in the 4 reward per faction limit.
[...]

Yep he got it. I throw that idea in once, after the devs confirmed it & so i created my signature ;)

For the PE reward, if its so "unguessable" than it should be an non-german unit :P
Or infantry? :D

I didn't say it's unguessable, just that it would be interesting to see the responses. There might not actually be a 4th PE reward unit at all and I'm just playing a mean trick on you all :P.

@ Blackbishop
Besides we have a no writen rule that we'll make up to 2 reward units for each faction:

US: M-18, T-17, Sherman 105, Sherman Jumbo
Brits: Kangaroo, Staghound, Comet, RMC
Wehr: Schwimmwagen Type 166, Geschutzwagen, Voss Tiger and Tiger Ace.
PE: Schwimmwagen Type 128, Hotchkiss, Jagdpanzer IV and  ???
SU: KV series, SU-122, IS-3 and  ???

Replace Voss Tiger with Sturmtiger and add a Nashorn to the PE

I would also love to see a PaK 43/41 for the Wehr as a replacement for the PaK 38. 8)
A good view of some more angles. http://www.flamesofwar.com/?tabid=53&art_id=653

Just a thought....

@HerrVoss: An 88 (though it's just the PaK43) for Wehrmacht T2 sounds veeery OP to me. Nevertheless, I like your idea of Nashorn for PE.

i also think that a stormtiger works better with terror doctrin than tiger ace, but this would make terror op i think.

i actually hope last reward unit for pe will be the jagdtiger which replace the jagdpanther

It's like replacing T-34/85 with IS-2  ::)

Maybe the PaK 43/41 to replace the 88 in defensive to give a mobile alternative. Also a 5 man crew seems like it would fit.

Only if it would lock down forever.
