I am not making this request out of a desire for historical accuracy. Consider Panzer III's vs Panzer IVs. Both are currently classified as medium tanks, meaning if you plan on utilizing both at the same time - either together in one unit, in separate units, or on different fronts - you have absolutely no way to determine the mix of each statistically different tank amongst your forces. Your tank divisions get what they get. Perhaps the devs of this mod could have intended it as a choice, you pick the right tank for the right phase of the war - but even under this hypothetical reasoning I find the simple problem of not really having much choice as to what division is using what. What the Russians are fielding is very different than what the French and British are fielding, so you can't say it's a choice and then expect whatever you chose to be a one-size-fits-all solution.

I understand that Panzer III's and IV's do themselves not fully fit under the British/French classification system of Cruiser vs Infantry tanks, but consider this distinction merely one to be applied in the division designer and not necessarily translate into some shared trait. We could just throw out the historical names and definitions altogether and just say "Medium Tank 1" and "Medium Tank 2"; with the straightest line to MBTs going in the former category and the latter category being for infantry tanks as well as Panzer IIIs; both being evolutionary 'dead ends' but still having a role for a time. Maybe even the Sherman Jumbo variant on the tech tree could fit in the "2" category as well. What matters for me is the ability to properly distribute the right tank designs throughout my divisions - even if I'm "supposed" to only choose one in a practical sense - because it very much is a right tool for the right job in my eyes, and even more so because this mod emphasizes combined arms warfare. Even if I have a very limited production run of Panzer III's or Sherman Jumbo's, I should be able to design my tank divisions such that their allotment is not up to the whims of the game's code. It's a purely organizational feature for the division designer, to account for the statistical difference between medium tank designs in the mod.
