Speaking of first used, the MG42 was first used in Africa yet it isn’t anywhere to be seen besides mounted ones.
M10 was in Africa.
Will come together with a weird Allied MG. Bet some money its the M1919.
would love some more british like the vickers K
yo oh really?cool would love to see beltfed mg42
so for allies you have m10 churchill 3 or 4 and for axis… marder or stug and tigor?
Indeed it was, and it is capable of knocking out a Tiger from the front however similar to it’s position in Normandy the Tiger 1 will majority of the time have the edge
Tunisia is bigger and Germans dont have high ground.
IV H ofc.
Bigger in what sense?
Also high ground has very little effect on M10s contesting Tigers. On paper yes the M10 looks like a good competitor but in practice doesn’t always go that way. The M10s 76mm gun will bounce, happens to me all the time on Normandy while in my Tiger however the Tiger’s 88mm rarely fails to 1 shot enemy AFVs it hits
I would very much like the see the Marder III in game, alternatively the Panzer III L, which should have been in Tunisia from the get go and not the Ausf J
i agree there are even wrecks of the pz3l in tunisia lol

Yes and no, the Churchill’s 57mm/6pdr gun is hit and miss highly dependent on the ammunition type being fired. If we follow the devs track record for other AFVs in game we would get the Churchill III (because that can be ported from WT) and it would fire the standard ammunition from WT the ‘Shot Mk8 APC’
With this ammo and gun the Churchill can on paper pen the frontal armor of the Tiger but not consistently
Maps are a bit bigger and allow flanking to some extend.
Ehm Tiger/ Germans have better vision and can spawn camping the Allies on most maps which makes it pointless to spawn tanks there if Obi Wan has a good position.

Aye that’s true for the most part but still in straight up engagements and even when allied tanks got the drop on me normally the Tigers armor holds up to allow me to get that 1 shot off which is all it needs on all the present allied tanks unless you get a really unlucky shell
Really?
I’d say the biggest difference between nations’ tanks in this category is:
- sights (dictated by history, for now)
- commander view being circular or rectangular
I wouldn’t really say either side has much of an upper hand.

While this whole topic is only theoretical I really hope they don’t end up adding the IV H to Tunisia. That’s the historically inaccurate stuff that really rubs me the wrong way, because it’s lazy just copied over from 1 campaign to another where it shouldn’t be
I know the community is very divided on the subject of historical accuracy but I’d personally much prefer to see a new unique vehicle come into the campaign that actually belongs there like the other gentleman suggested something such as the Marder III
I talk about the overall fov/ ability to see/ fire in directions. Allies always have issue that German tanks etc. can cover entire beach if camping in right spot and Allies usually have worse armor.

At this point, its not just about historical accuracy but about copy+paste/ lazyiness.
Especially Tunisia Axis suffer from copy+paste to a point where you could call it Stalingrad with some Italian flavor.
Its still beyond me why people love that the devs dont even pretend to give a damn about the last levels.

Exactly, I can absolutely get over historically inaccurate content to an extent. When it’s done out of laziness though drives me insane
