[smprgumbi]

sounds good to me! Throw in some EFV's and I'm in!

[exodusforever]

Looks like an awesome list.

Totally agree to everything.

HAHA add in a Type 45 Daring Class Destroyer though.

That would complete it for me

[Mk 1]

Pretty good list. Certainly covers many of the interests I would have for modern ground units.

In particular I would endorse the calls for civilians and civilian vehicles, for modern French infantry, and for the Lebed LCAC.

But ...

Mi-26 Combat Command (2 Mi-26 Helos with Russian inf. Think LCAC CC)

Wouldn't we need an Mi-26 model, first? Are you suggesting that if we had such a model, the only place it should be available is in a CC? Oh no no no, that won't do at all!

And besides, what would the point be of an Mi-26 just to move crunchies? If you're going to fly the world's biggest 'copter, you really need something worthy of it to put in the cargo hold. So an Mi-26 CC should have some BMDs to carry!

(Or a Chinook. )

[Panzerleader71]

I would like to see a Soviet Air Assault CC. Hips, Infantry and Hinds..Oh, my.

[stevecolletti]

Nothing to dislike. Better than the last two years.

[ed*b]

Unless I get back into microarmour in the next six months, my dream list would only cover the ships:

June 2010 - SMS Wiesbaden
August 2010 - Bretagne WW2 (I'd need 3 of those since I'd use them for the WW1 version too)
October 2010 - HMS Vanguard
December 2010 - USS Nevada (WW1 config)
February 2011- Austro Hungarian Tegetthoff (a total surprise, that!, but I'd have to buy 4)
April 2011 - Courbet, one kit covering both WW1 and WW2 funnel and bridge configurations (I'd have to buy 8 of those)

Oh well, dream on.

EFV's would be great, and I thought about adding them, but then why should we get them before the Marines do in 2015? heh.


HAHA add in a Type 45 Daring Class Destroyer though.

Thought about the type 45 too, but the type 23 frigate is more numerous and the type 45's are just becoming operational.

Mk 1

Wouldn't we need an Mi-26 model, first? Are you suggesting that if we had such a model, the only place it should be available is in a CC? Oh no no no, that won't do at all!

That's a good point, but with the size of the model and the way GHQ releases some of it's bigger products (LCAC Gliders etc) I thought this would be the most realistic way to get them released. And you're right, ground pounders wouldn't do it justice..

I'd buy it.

Maybe they'll offer me a job. ; )

[chrisswim]

Okay, but what would you buy and in what quatities?
Where would your priorities be?

Spz Puma IFV - buy 30 within 1-2 months, another 30-60 within a year.
CV 90 IFV - 45 with 1-2 months, another 100 or so with a year.
Mi-28 HAVOC - may 2-4,
IDF Caterpillar D9 (Armored Bulldozer), buy 4-8 or so.
GTK Boxer APC - 30-40, start with 15.
Eurocopter Tiger - dozen or so over 1-2 years
M-ATV (HMMWV replacement) - probably add dozens over course of a year
VBCI APC - 45 fairly quickly, maybe add another 45 with 1 1/2 years.
HIMARS - trying to make some, probably buy a dozen or so, if I haven't made them.
Lebed class LCAC - have one. probably not invest in this one.
RG-31 Nyala MRAP - might get some, already have some from elsewhere.

Some assumptions go into this, my budget/free cash flow increases slightly or slower acquisition schedule.

[chrisswim]

I have some LeClerc's by another company that I use for the 'Korean K2 Black Panther'.
Look smaller than GHQ's LeClerc. Barrel has a long thin profile. Just an idea in the mean time.

[pvt64]

I would like to see some of the following:

A6 Intruder
A7 Crusader
French Modern Infantry
AC130
CH46
F111
Mig17
Mig19
SU17/22
HAWK Missle Launchers
F14
A4
Mig25
Puma Helicopter
Mirage F1
Warsaw Pact Romanian Infantry
SU27
F18
Russian AVLB Designation escapes me at this time.
IL28
Jaguar

[Belisarius]

CV-90 needs to hurry up and come out, as do the Eurocopter Tiger, F-35, Boxer APC, and Puma IFV. I also think adding a Patria AMV and Bv206 wouldn't be a bad idea either.

Just out of curiosity, pvt64, why Warsaw Pact Romanian Infantry? What's special about them that you can't use regular Warsaw Pact Russian infantry?

T-34/85 1945 Factory 183
