We tried to get ATR3UH in the alpha because he's been doing such great things with the videos for awhile now. The reason for him not being in there is on our end, but he's definitely been showing some fantastic work.

I'm definitely excited to see what he's able to do with Observer Mode in his hands!

I think the unit to add to the USF faction or on a late-game commander to fullfill their late-game anti tank needs is the M18 Hellcat.



Torsion Bar Suspension and 76mm gun the same as Sherman Easy 8 gives good accuracy on the move and the same weapon as Easy 8 and T34/85.

A whopping 92km/h top-speed compared to 46 km/h of late war Panthers, 48 km/h of M36 Jackson and 51 km/h of M10 Wolverines means this unit could traverse 3v3 and 4v4 battlefields to deal with specific threats.

The M18's Wright R-975 engine is mounted on steel rollers that allow maintenance crews to disconnect it easily from the transmission. This Td is well known for its ease of maintenance. Maybe it can repair faster or is less prone to engine criticals.

Cloaking was on the M18 in vCOH and it could easily be added here.

The M18 also had an M2 Browning .30 cal machine gun which could be upgraded and have some Anti-Infantry capabilities.

Maybe balance this units great strengths by making the crew vulnerable to freezing during blizzards as they were prone to be due to the open-topped nature of their vehicle.

TLDR:: Bring back the M18 Hellcat in a commander that is specifically suited to team games and anti armor (U.S. repair stations please!) It would fit nicely as the U.S. analogue/counter to the Axis Panther and is beloved my many. Me at least.

T-70 and SU-76 switch, while I agree that soviet tiers should be restrictive there is a big problem in that they have no real cohesion within the tiers. Su-76 and T-70 are both made redundant by their tier mates and past tech timing changes. Switching them would give them good cohesion with their while still maintaining the tier's specialized and generalist roles.
