Add more tanks.

I know having 2 tanks is nice and all, but perhaps you could add the tiger tank and the hetzer tank, Along with the British Cruiser mk IV tank and the Light tank Mk IV. Having a variety of tanks for tank warfare would be great.

We want to do vehicles well, but before that we want to get the infantry combat locked down first, so 'Chapter 1: Overlord' won't have tanks.

Hang on there, buddy. Tanks aren't in development at the moment, as they're set for release in Chapter Two; Chapter One centers on infantry combat. The Panzer IV Ausf. H and Cromwell Mk. IV are the two tanks that have been showcased, not the only two. A quote from Traction Wars - WWII Realism Game - Traction Wars - About Us...

Traction Wars will enable players to not only experience intense infantry combat but also the armoured fury of the Second World War, commanding tanks such as the British Cromwell IV and the infamous German Panzer VI Ausf. E "Tiger" as well as the less glamourous but still essential transoprt and supply vehicles such as the Opel Blitz or Bedford QLD.

So as you can see, the Tiger I has been confirmed. And if you'll take a look at these...





You can see that the Panzer II Ausf. L Luchs has been considered; I say "considered" because these images are from a few years back, so just remember that the Panzer II is not confirmed. Numerous other tanks have been confirmed or discussed. The Sherman (I'd guess the Mk. V), Sherman Mk. V Firefly, and Panzer V Panther have all been confirmed. Tanks that have been discussed are the Achilles Mk. I (a tank destroyer), the Churchill Mk. VII Crocodile (and some other of Hobart's Funnies), the R35, et cetera. I'm not saying all these tanks will come out with Chapter Two. A number of them will, yes, but not all; more vehicles will be added in succeeding chapters.

As for you suggestions, keep in mind that historical accuracy is paramount to Traction Wars; the Cruiser Mk. IV wasn't used after the north African campaign, and I shouldn't even have to tell you why the Light tank Mk. IV is a definite no-no. Neither of those tanks were present in Normandy.

So... yeah. I wouldn't worry about tanks ;)

Perhaps we'll have the M4A2, but again, I'd guess the M4A4, AKA Sherman V. At least to begin with, maybe the M4A2 will come later as another Sherman variant. The M2A4 is out of the question, it wasn't used in Normandy, let alone much of the war. And by Type 92, you're referring to the Japanese tank? Because there weren't Japanese tanks in Normandy...

And yeah, no bicycles; to quote Naga, this isn't a BMX simulator ;)

Just a thought, but can we have a random ID number for every vehicle? So, for example, not every Panzer IV Ausf. H is number 832? Per game, of course. For example, in one game, every Ausf. H spawns with a unique number (832, 833, 834, whatever). When that tank is destroyed, it'll respawn with a different number (say 835).

This is an unnecessary feature, but one that would make people think "Huh, cool" when they see it in the game. Again, just a thought.

It was used since the beginning of the war. A lot of countries used bicycles. It wasn't something weird. Even, the current American paratroopers have folding bikes
