M3 Grant for Brits
« on: August 12, 2011, 09:57:20 PM »
I think that the RMC doesn't really have a unique tank destroyer type unit. From what I remember, they use an M10 with a 17 pdr. main gun. Effective, but not super cool. The cromwell also is not unique or interesting as an all purpose tank. I think that the RMC would be a lot cooler with a replacement. An M3 Grant tank may be a cool unit that fills that role. Modeling may be an issue, but the end result would be worth it. The actual vehicle has a 75mm main gun a 37mm in the turret. That way, it has both anti infantry and anti-vehicular weapons. May be a unique tank type vehicle with a very interesting and new play style, depending on stats, and a perfect match for an RMC vehicle.

Two points:

EF won't add units just because they are "cool". The Cromwell is fine and it should stay IMO.

Second problem is animating a tank with more then one main gun, it would take a shitload of work to do that. Plus the devs are already busy doing other things so even if they would consider including it, that would happen far beyong the Ostheer and the Campaigns.
