Tiger Tank or 88mm gun: What's next (1 Viewer)

[Vezzolf]

What is the general consences that either one of these subjects will be released this year?.....Or does anyone have a guess or desire as to what WWII tank will be the next one to come to the forefront?

 

[Sahara]

I would like to see a new 88 released prior to the Tiger but I'll take both.

 

[Rob]

Well i suspect a British Tank may rumble into sight pretty soon,possibly in the next dispatches?.

I agree, with the retirement of all the Commonwealth D-Day series and the preview of some new Tommies at the Westcoaster, I think we're definitely going to see the reappearance of a lot of new Commonwealth troops during D-day real soon....I can hardly wait!
If I were a betting man I'd say K&C will stick to the British 3rd division seeing as how all the FOB series are from this unit. However here's hoping for a bold, dynamic move and the addition of CANADIAN troops at D-day. My Staghound needs some support.
I'm also sure we're likely to see some German opposition and perhaps some Americans.

 

[Rob]

Yes i wouldn't be surprised if we saw new troops and some armour too,Brits and Canadian.Those figs we saw at the westcoaster look really good.I'm hoping to use them with Tommy Patrol and Bren gun carrier etc.

Cromwell,Centaur,Churchill Crocodile,Sherman Flail,sooo many British Tanks.Any one of those would be cool.

Would be great to see a Cromwell or a Comet tank instead of move Tigers zzzzzzzzzzzz

Any tanks would be great. And a winter 88 would be fantastic.

I can't think of anything that would be a bigger hit than a winter or Afrika Korp 88. As far as a major tank release, I'm hoping for a M26 Pershing.

As far as the upcoming D-Day releases, I'll be disappointed if it's British instead of American. They have Market Garden. I can't believe British D-Day releases sell as well as American anyway.

IMO, there are enough Tigers, not a Tiger hater by any means but there are so many other German tanks to do!! Panzer IV H or J, Marder H, Nashorn, Wirbelwind! I know the Tiger is the most popular of all German tanks but lets not have just Tigers!

Why not the British fought on D-day as well. I would not be in the least bit disappointed if we got some Brits. In turn you could look at Market Garden the same way. The Americans took part as well so I would not be opposed to seeing some American releases.

Sick of Tigers, would be happy not see one for quite some time. Also, we got a mobile 88 type last year. Let's shoot for new stuff, other artillery, etc. We see the same guns over and over. I don't mean this as a complaint, but there are other cool pieces not done, we could stand a year without the required allotment of Tigers and Shermans!!!

Maybe because us brits buy or would buy them

Yes and there is so many Brit Tanks still to come.I'm happy with any Allied Tank to be honest but as we have had a few American vehicles i'd like to see either a Cromwell or perhaps one of Hobarts funnies.Its quite exciting at the moment as i think we are on the verge of perhaps three of the major producers considering British and commonwealth armour releases.We have had many German Tanks over the years and so now it might be the time for something a little different.

Wouldn't mind a few Brit vehicles. How else am I going to recreate Wittman vs. Cromwells, Stuarts, Shermans, etc. at Villers-Bocage? -- lancer

 

[hoogri]

it is time for a pak 40 for normandy .

[HAWKEYE]

Great request, a pak 40. I also would like to see a firefly or cromwell, and on the german side some 12th ss that look younger to fight montgomery's boys. A puma would be nice too.

 

[Kurt]

Yes, but I'm guessing the larger American market prefers U.S. troops in their D-Day collections. (Sounds like a poll is needed) However, it's been a few years since there were British releases in the D-Day series, so I'm guess that's what's coming next.

I'd love to get a Firefly and have a dio showing the moment at 12.47 on 8th August 1944 when Joe Ekins of the Northamptonshire Yeomanry who had only previously fired six rounds,fired the seventh from his mighty 17pdr and sent Wittman to meet his maker.That would be cool
