I voted Panzer II Ausf. C, Panzer III Ausf. L and Stug III. Actually, I can't be sodded with the Stug III, but since there was no Panzer 38(t) in there, I voted for it anyway... as it would have been my 4th choice :P

Also... Panther Ausf. F? None saw combat, so I doubt that'll get in, and accounts of whether the Kugelblitz was ever used are sketchy. Speaking of Balls, the Kugelpanzer would be a fun addition ;D

I voted for the Sturmtiger and the Elefant...I'm sick of short-dick PE-like vehicles that can't even properly stand up to a Sherman on their own. :'(

Tiger II with Henschel-turret, heavy Sturmgeschütz Ferdinandt ( Elefant ) and Panzer III Ausf. N with 7,5cm KwK L/24.

( Plz; not again Jagdtiger and Sturmtiger :'( - they are western front units!!! BOTH )
May the force be with you.

 Pz38(t) is interesting tank, but in 1943+... ?
 Same with Pz1, etc :)

 As for Lord Rommel, he'd like nothing more than to have
 6800x 300t+ Axis tanks at the beginning of each fight. Each
 elite, each indestructible, each ultra uber powerful with mega
 long range and ultra high rates of fire :)

 - I want Wespe to be in the game. It should have been
 in-game before the Hummel if anything.

 - And, I know they said wouldn't change original factions,
 but, ah, if could change the 105mm Priest (British/Arty)
 for a sexon with 25lbr, I'd be happy :)
You know, there are many people in the country today who, through no fault of their own, are sane. Some of them were born sane. Some of them became sane later in their lives. It is up to people like you and me who are out of our tiny little minds to try and help these people overcome their sanity

I will see heavy tanks but no heavy tank that wasnt at the eastern front ;)

Elefant would be cool, because it is a symbole for one of the biggest battles on earth ( Kursk ).

Panzer III Ausf. N would ne cool, because it is a cool support unit for heavy units and with special Hohlladungsgranaten ( hollow charge anti tank granates ) he is able to fight against tanks ^^

And Kingtiger with Henschel turret would be cool because the Porsche turret is SO UGLY ( and the Porsche turret had a construction misstake which cost some tigerman their life... ).
May the force be with you.

Honestly except for the Bergetiger, the PE has NOTHING that the Wehrmacht can't do better.  I'd rather have vet3 grenadiers over panzergrenadiers or vet3 flamers over fallschrimjagers any day.  And compared to Wehrmacht vehicles, the PE tanks / vehicles are a joke...just look at the Hotchkiss.  For those pussy-tank lovers, ladies and gentlemen; the PE Panzer IV stubby tank is NOT the infantry killer the noobs think it is.  When you face the Airborne RR mob, it lacks the range to kite and the health points to engage...an Ostwind does the job much better.

Therefore, PE brings NOTHING to the Axis playing table.  I just hope the Ostheer will be different.

We have Allied Pershings and Kangaroos and Soviet IS-2s to deal with and people are voting for early Panzer III tanks?  Hell even the Panzer IV has some trouble with a Sherman.

 - Chancellor : I think USA, Brits, PE, Soviets and OstHeer
 cannot possibly be as good as Wehr. We should thus remove
 all those factions out and only do Wehr vs Wehr battles.
 Then it would all be about SKILL !!! :) And no one would
 say anything about lack of balance :)

 But then, people would say White is better than Black, or
 Black is better than White... (Chess mentality) :)

 - Lord Rommel : Oh, I'm fine with Elefant (should be called
 JagTiger, and JagTiger be called the JagKing, but, eh)
  ... but only one at a time, yes? I saw a proposal saying
 to do a call-in (3) of them at a time :p Ack!!

Haha, quite.
I don't play CoH online nor really taking gaming that seriously so people complaining about all this percieved lack of balance is quite funny to me.

As for people voting for "pussy tanks" I think most people want to see historical units that were used and have as thus been overlooked for an axis side. Or maybe its just a conspiracy by "noobs" to upset hardcore CoH players??  :o

You would probably have been better off not having so many variations as options, e.g. just the Panzer II.

Then go back and hide in your skirmish games and don't talk about MP balance with people that actually play online.

With that, I'm done here on these forums.  Just gonna put my faith in the devs on the balance.
