Thoughts on Balancing
If I added a date restricted version of the US & Russian forces should I remove the sherman & m10 from the British arsenal.

What do you think?

I don't know about balancing, but if you were to do that, you could replace it with the Valentine VIII with 6 pounder as a stand in tank destroyer. I literally have no idea if thats within the 1942-3 timeframe though. Just a suggestion.

That's a brilliant idea Ninja, thanks man. I’ve just done a bit of research on the Valentine Mk VIII & it entered service during 1943 for the invasion of Italy! So it can defiantly replace the M10 in the AT role. What are your thoughts on the Sherman 75mm still being available for the Brits dude? Should I leave it in as a “lend lease” vehicle or remove it all together?

I only ask because so far I have managed to win against 3 Expert Comps without the use of a single M10 or Sherman which I think possibly overpowers the Brits.

Thanks man! :)

I'm not really an expert by any measurment on these things, but it seems to me that the Sherman was one of the more abundant tanks the brits used. If you think its going to cause balance problems then I suppose you can remove it from their arsenal. After all, Relic seemed to have no issue with removing the Sherman 75mm in favour of the less common Cromwell as the British medium tank (though I guess that was more for faction diversity than balance).

So I guess the bottom line is I think I'd prefer it to stay, but if its a balance problem that can't be easily fixed then I wouldn't mind if it has to go.

No problems, I appreciate your input dude :)

I think you’re right too, replacing the M10 with the Mk VIII valentine means I can probably get away with leaving the Sherman in. I have made the Sherman cost roughly the same as a long barrel Panzer IV to balance things out.

On that topic, should I add the long barrel Stug III back in just slightly cheaper than a Cromwell?

This would give both teams 2 medium tanks with the long/75mm gun to use mid game.

Yeah, that would make sense, the only problem I can see is that it might make the pzIV a bit redundant if its too much more expensive than the StuH, but that shouldn't be a problem.

Yeah cool I agree man, I'll leave the mod as it is for now then. If I get a few request for it I'll just chuck it back in later.
