So keep stuff from 1943 out of the game because we already saw it but keep prototypes from 1945 in it because we never saw them?
There is lots of late war stuff that the germans had (albeit often only in protoype from) that never was in CoH either. So you would be ok with that (or stuff like Nashorn replacing Stug) too?
The thing is, like Cardboard Tank said, there will be a PowerCreep. Having pre 1943 tanks fight BP (and the Archer in its currenty form) isn't going to work well
I myself would like to see M3 and others would like so too. But it would probably not work with Panther in Stock or Kinger Tiger avaible.
Same goes for Panzer III.
Keep the BP / Tiger II out of the game and then Panzer IIIs, M3 Lees and putting Panther behind a doc. choice would make sense
"Having pre 1943 tanks fight BP (and the Archer in its currenty form) isn't going to work well"
Its an arcade game, it can and will work, for example kv1s being able to challenge panthers, kv2s being able to beat panthers and tigers in coh2. We have examples. It isn't like this is completely out of the nature of the game
(Also plz gib panzer 3 M, sexiest german tank :V)
