Expansion ideas with pretty picture links.

[stingraywinston]

Just having a browse on google while i was bored and come across some nice pictures of WW2 vehicles with specifications. So the next expansion could be anything really, unless you know something i dont lol. These are the vechicles i would like to see introduced if they are brought about.
Hope you enjoy i thought it was quite interesting.

The Soviet tanks makes the rest look like bicycles :)

The only reason I see to put France in is to give Wehr a campaign
(Which would be great TBH)

[stingraywinston]

Japan i'll add did have a few more options but they had no pictures with them so i thought id leave them out. Just a few heavy tanks, well sort of lol.

[Kamitsu]

i'd also like to see wehr have a campaign

[draje175]

the IS-2 looks like it would be an end tree tank call in thats equal to a tiger. nice. and the t34 would be between a panther and a pIV

[JamieLea]

Wow French tanks suck hard.

[kenty900]

LoL... Jamielea nail on the head there.

Dont think be much of a campaign against France though rofl. Sounds a bit harsh but it wasn't France's most shinning military experience. Really didn't seem to have a clue what was coming with Blitzkrieg maul.

French tanks where like WW1 relics. But better prepared now Leclerc is quite good, one of fastest main battle tanks about isn't it? Probably in reverse but that's not the point :) TBH Italian tanks don't look like anything pretty, same with japs.. but i believe their reasoning was environment of fighting in the jungle can;t really go too big.

Anyway as said most likely be Russian next and always love the Russian tanks, think id cry with happiness to see the Joseph Stalin in (IS-2) absolute sexy monster. Plus definite without doubt T-34 IF Russians go in next instalment.

Nice thread man you puted quiet some effort in^^

I would prefer to see the sovjets and japanese armys on the battlefield but ive no problem with italy or france. Kamikaze banzai!^^

[stingraywinston]

cheers. I was bored. Ive just seen so many threads going on about what the next game is going to be like and what factions might actually be in it. So i thought lets have a look what options other factions had during WW2. Plus with pictures and specs it makes it more interesting.

I'll keep adding them as i find them.

the IS-2 looks like it would be an end tree tank call in thats equal to a tiger. nice. and the t34 would be between a panther and a pIV

the IS-2 would be like the king tiger call in it was the best heavy tank of war
anyways if they do make an expansion they should do ostfront 4sure then maybe we could finnaly see some armor stand up to the germans maybe lower the infantry madness that we see evry match :)

[ShakyJake]

Kenty900, those French tanks at the outset of the war were actually pretty damned good, in their own right. They were better armed and armored than their German counterparts, but that meant little when French doctrine assigned them piecemeal into infantry battalions. The ones that actually got to fight (and weren't bypassed and cut off) were seriously outnumbered on the field when they did find themselves against enemy armor. As a random interesting fact, the main German tank tasked with anti-tank duty at the time (PzKpfw III) carried a 37mm gun just like the Greyhound, but several years older and with less penetration.

[stingraywinston]

Ived done moderate research and every tank or vechicle i have put in my original post was in active WW2 battle 1938 onwards.
I made sure of this, so it would fit into the setting of COH's which is around 1940's if im right. By looking at the vehicles we already have in the game.

[AsI-IGear]

Your wrong the Coh era takes place in 1944 ;)

I think we've had enough expansion wishlist threads for the near future. Feel free to use one of the many many many existing ones if you wish.
