I am working on a mod and I was wondering what you guys thought I should give the civs for the ww2 era. There is an abundance of German tanks available, but what should I give all the other civs. Also, tell me what you think about the current line up of tanks with civs

Here are the tanks I have decided to use in my mod.

IS3M | Merkava4
Generic modern Amor | Renault FT17
German A7v | VKIV
ISU Tank Killer | T-55
Type 90 | T-90
Kha-GO | Tiger I
LeClerc | T-26
Lepard | Spanish Bull tank

Plus all of the tanks included with the game (default and WW2)

Each civ will have a ww1 style tank, a ww2 style tank, and a modern tank. Here is the Current table that I made

Tanks | WW1 | WW2 | Modern

Rome | A7V | - | LeClerc

Egypt | T-26 | - | IS3M

Greece | A7V | - | Lepard

Babylon | A7V | - | IS3M

Germany | A7V | what german tanks? | Lepard

Russia | T-26 | T-34, ISU | T-90

China | T-26 | - | Type 90

America | MKIV | Sherman, M26 Pershing | M1A1 Abrams

Japan | MKIV | Kha-Go | Type 90

France | FT17 | - | LeClerc

India | T-26 | - | T-90

Persia | T-26 | - | T-90

Aztecs | FT17 | - | Generic Modern Armor

Zululand | FT17 | - | Genceric Modern Armor

Iroquios | MKIV | - | M1A1

England | MKIV | Churchill | Lepard

Mongols | A7V | - | Generic modern armor

Spain | FT17 | - | Bull tank

Scandinavia| A7V | - | Lepard

Ottomans | A7V | - | Generic Modern Armor

Celts | FT17 | - | LeClerc

Arabia | T-26 | - | T-90

Carthage | T-26 | - | IS3M

Korea | MKIV | Sherman, M26 | Type 90

Isreal | MKIV | Sherman, M26 | Merkava 4

Ok that is what I have so far. I have dashs in places where I have no clue about what tank to give them. If any of you could help me out, or have any advice about any of this, please let me know. Also, what do you think about my current tank/civ matchs? think anything should be changed? One last thing, There are so many great german tanks out there, should I put them all in? if so, how do you think I should do that? Perhaps give german tanks to other countries and call them something else? Thanks for any help any of you give. Im way open to constructive criticism.

France WWII = Sherman. It was the tank supplied to French Free Force by the US

I think you should use the generic tank instead of the A7V, it should be a German UU (WWI) and give it to them earlly in the game:mwaha:

or is that what you're implying with an axis-ally type connection to the different civs?

Thanks, I will give France the sherman. About the A7V, to my knowledge, the British devloped the tank before the germans. If I were to give anyone a tank early, it would be them. But, Germany and France developed their own tanks shortly after the British did (less then a year I think), so I think that everyone should get the tank with the same advance.
