It seems odd that the Eurofighter Typhoon isn't in the range already so we need that!

Chinese ZBL08 wheeled IFV

Ajax Tank

Ultramodern British Infantry Support Weapons (current pack is practically all out of service)

Chinese and Russian tanker trucks

A flatbed military truck for each country with accessory packs for office, recovery and bridging options.

Wehrmacht '47:
Panzer VII Löwe
The Panzerkampfwagen VII Löwe (Lion) was a design for a super-heavy tank created by Krupp for the German government during World War II. The project, initially code-named VK 70.01 (K), never left the drawing board, and was dropped in 5–6 March 1942, in favor of Porsche's heavier Panzer VIII Maus.[1][2]

Variants

The Löwe was designed in two variants, unofficially designated Leichter Löwe (light lion) and Schwerer Löwe (heavy lion), both with a crew of five:[1]

Leichter Löwe
It was to weigh 76 t (75 long tons; 84 short tons), with 100 mm (3.9 in) of frontal armor, a rear-mounted turret, a 10.5 cm (4.1 in) L/70 high velocity gun, and a coaxial machine gun, with a top speed of 27 km/h (17 mph). It was later cancelled by Adolf Hitler.[1]
Schwerer Löwe
It was to weigh 90 t (89 long tons; 99 short tons), with 120 mm (4.7 in) frontal armor, a center-mounted turret, a 10.5 cm L/70 high velocity gun, and a coaxial machine gun, but only managing a top speed of 23 km/h (14 mph). After redesign it had 140 mm (5.5 in) frontal armor, 8.8 cm (3.5 in) L/71 gun, and a top speed increased to 35 km/h (22 mph).[1][2]

Add my vote to the Eurofighter Typhoon and British ultramodern HW.

Having recently designed Casevac into the rules I use I'd love to see some medics, stretcher bearers, holding IV bags, carrying out CPR, etc. Could be very generic, I'd imagine.

More WW2 Russian Rocket Artillery. They produced at least 9 different sized rockets in 4, 6, 8, 16, 24, 36 and 48 rail/tube launchers on dozens of different truck chassis. Yet GHQ only makes one type on 2 different chassis.

My preference would be the big BM 31-12 (on Studebaker, Zis6 etc) that you see in the Berlin footage.
The BM 13-16 on the STZ-5 Stalinez is way cool.

Americans need the 240mm Howitzer M1 and the 8" Gun M1

Belgian T13 and T15 would be great.

French tanks FCM36 (radar can't detect it!) and Char D2.

I know this will never happen but an early version of the M7 priest would be great for my Desert/Italy/Commonwealth battles - with the early suspension, low walls etc. The currently produced version is the late model. Can't use it.

While on that subject - it would be great if GHQ would create the earliest version of a vehicle when possible. You can always use early versions in late war scenarios but not vice-versa. Case in point - the new M4A3 just released. According to Son of Sherman (P.253) - you won't see Shermans with these turrets in action until April of 1945.

Hello guys !

while waiting for news release that should be coming soon… (I hope) :
here is my « TOP 12 » WWII 2018-19 list : (maybe it give few ideas to GHQ team ….)

1 - US dozer "Caterpillar" engineer + 20ton semi-trailer to carry it and prime mover (could be GHQ Diamond 6x6 Hv truck or GHQ Treadway Corbitt 6t truck), very common in engineer units and could go with GHQ awesome CC US engineers trucks.
2 - New 3t Opel Blitz truck « medium production », with open cargo hull, (rear cargo without tarpaulin) & with one 4X4 version into the pack. (very great for motorised german infantry)
3 - British Sherman ARV. (because we have no ARV for british armored units…)
4 - Russian M 1937 type, 152mm long artillery gun, (tracted and deployed version) with new prime mover.
5 - Russian Heavy artillery prime mover “Kominternâ€￾ or “Voroshilovezâ€￾.
6 - LVT4 "water buffalo" with MG & 20mm Posten gun (UK version).
7 - British Staff car.
8 - UK 15cwt Morris water tank truck.
9 - UK Chevrolet radio/workshop shelter 4x4 truck (with same cab’ from GHQ UK42 CMP 15cwt truck).
10 - Sdkfz 251/3 ausf.D
11 - Sdkfz 251/17 ausf.D late version of the 20 mm AA gun (with the small turret inside the hull)
12 - German Field kitchen horse drawn.



My « TOP 8 » Vietnam 2018-19 list :

1 - US M54 5ton 6x6 Heavy truck (special Vietnam aera : without tarpaulin) (very good for convoys ! and good base for hv armored trucks… later).
2 - Russian light truck GAZ-63 4x4.
3 - NVA individual infantry « assault sappers ».
4 - US « Chinook », vietnam version (different air filter and different rear tail design).
5 - US Ford Mutt with Tarpaulin.
6 - US 3/4t M37 small truck.
7 - M54 tractor-trailer truck with semi-trailer (semi-trailer without load) (transportation btn)
8 - AC-130 cargo plane (and great for a « gunship » version too !).


Others ideas :
US WWII :
- 90mm M2 Antiaircraft guns (fire & tracted positions, with 6t truck corbitt without tarpaulin as prime mover)
- LVT(A)4 waterline.
- LVT(A)1 waterline.

- Sdkfz 251/16 (flamme-thrower) ausf « D ».
- Tiger « Ferdinand » (for Kursk 1943) (we have « elephant » but no « ferdinand »)
- Me.323 "Gigant" (Hv transport plane for eastern front) in a combat command. (2 « gigant » in resin with nose and wings in pewer to equilibre the weight of the model on the front)
- Heavy engineers bridge « brucko » with Sdkfz 7 8t halftracks and heavy engineer trailors. (combat command)
- German trailers (Fieldkitchen, GS 2.5 ton, Generator, Searchlight on trailer)

RUSSIAN WWII :
- M 1937 type, 152mm long artillery gun (tracted and deployed version) with new prime mover model. (russian “must haveâ€￾ gun)
- Heavy artillery prime mover “Kominternâ€￾ or “Voroshilovezâ€￾. (to go with 203’s howitzers or 152’s guns).
- T-34 ARV WWII (without turret and with few accessories on the hull : cables, small spare parts, spare wheel, …)

ENGLISH WWII :
- Hamilcar heavy Glider (for heavy air landing with Horsa gliders)
- Diamond T 980 (M 20) & M9 trailer Rodger 45 ton.
