I think there is a Maus- Porsche Page 7 in the unit database that I have seen, also a Tiger I and II. There is a Horton Ho-229 in the database Page 4. Also while we are at it in the Modern Units Database there is a He-177 Grief Heavy Bomber model you might like. An Arado Ar-234 Page 4.

I thought I did see a Tiger I and II but couldn't find them listed. I don't know about the rest of your units.

These probably should go into the Unit Request Thread. Also you would stand a better chance of getting these
units if you provided pictures and 3-plan views that allow unit creators to get an idea of what you intend. Just a
thought. Still I will try and help on some of the more obscure ones.

Rather than more super-heavy Panzer's it would be good to see the Panther II (Schmalturm turret with the 88mm).

I'll grant you that one more Panther II was built then P-1000 or P-1500, but I do not really consider it missing anyway

It looked very much like the regular Panther to begin with (to keep most parts interchangeable), for which there is a model.

I'd rather have some more variety in actual rather than 'fictional' tanks and modern armors, but of curse everyone is free to ask for the units he wants

In any case, this should be done in the unit request thread.

Actually IIRC the Panther II was supposed to be compatible with the Tiger II. And I agree actual vehicles are more useful, to that end I'd love to seee

A9 Cruiser I
A12 Matilda II
A34 Comet
M6 Heavy
M24 Chaffee
Tetrach and M22 Locust airborne tanks
M36 Tank Destroyer
M3 Lee/Grant Medium
T-28 medium
T-35 heavy
T-70 light
SU-100
PzKpfw III (very surprised this one is not yet done)
Jagdpanther
Japanese Type 2 Ho-I
Japanese Type 89 medium (Vickers)
SOMUA S-35/40 (another surprising absentee)
ARL 44

I've already posted a request for many of these in the request thread but hey since we are talking. I'm working on the Sentinel myself but its a slow process

PzKpfw III (very surprised this one is not yet done)

If that hasn't been done, I'd say it's a way higher priority than more Tigers or Panthers. That was the mainstay of German armoured forces in France, Poland, the African campaign, and Barbarossa.

I'm pretty sure I've seen a Jagdpanther in a mod somewhere, though I'd have to search around for it. There's also an M10 around, which is probably why an M-36 was not made. The T-35 is really not very important. They only produced a few dozen, and all broke down before they even had a chance at combat. Good thing, too, because despite its size it had the armor pathetic armor. There are also a SU-85 and a SU-122 (or SU-152, again I'd have to search through my mods) models out there. In the Modern Warfare mod, there's also an M-3 Stuart.

That's just not true... the T-35 first saw action against Finland in the Winter War. The 5th Heavy Tank Brigade with sixty-two T-35s fought against the Germans during Operation Barbarossa.

Cheers good news about the Jagdpanther, haven't found it yet myself though. I've been through the Modern warfare mod. Got the M-10, and quite few other items out of there. Didn't see any SU-XXX in there but now that you mention it I do have a recollection of the -85 and -122 somewhere when I looked around prior to actually getting down to modding. Got the M3 Stuart Light tanks but the abscence of the M3 Lee/Grant medium is a surprising ommission, up there with the PzKpfw III and SOMUA's. No PzKpfw I either.

Re the T-35 I believe you are correct. The armour was certainly disapointing for the size, although bear in mind that most nations were only just introducing HV 37mm AT guns in 1939/40 so it probably wasn't that bad. The rapid acceleration of the gun v armour battle throughout the rest of the war makes most early war tanks look ridiculously underarmoured. According to wikipedia the T-35 was not used in Finland but the SMK was. It also states 61 T-35s built and serving as Wolfie said with the 5th Tank Brigade. One refence I have here with me (Illustrated Tanks of the World by George Forty) supports the use of SMKs in the Winter War but does not cover the T-35 at all. My Collin Janes Pocket book covers the T-35 and says a few fought the Finn's but has no entry for the SMK at all. Wiki quotes Russian sources to state the lack of service against the Finn's. Make of that what you will.

I was unaware of the Finnish front action, but so far it looks like they played a negligible part at best.

I was looking through the mods I have, and the mod Modern Era for Varietas Delectat has the Jagdpanther and SU85, and also includes the Archer tank destroyer and a Willys jeep with pintle-mounted MG. The mod also has a fixed version (no extra boxes on the model) of the King Tiger and Wespe.
In the latest version of Diversica (0.80 or better) he has the ISU152.
