Also, I see it now but I missed it earlier:
there is a US 75mm Pak Howitzer !!!!
This means that Airborne may get airdropped artillery (I'm thinking similar to SU-76 barrages)

Thanks. And why is the color scheme of the flak truck completely different from the other units? Looks pretty ugly because it is out of place.
One of the reviews said that the Flak Trucks were OKW's version of base buildings. If you'd look closely, you'd realise it's sandbagged in pretty heavily, and the Flak Guns are it's personal defense (since it can't carry the MG bunkers with it). The trucks are kinda like Opels, granting resources but being fragile, so there's a risk / reward factor in actually putting them out there.
Personally I think trucks would have fit the Americans better, since we were the only fully mechanised Army in WW2, where for every platoon of soldiers, we had a truck to carry them. On the other hand, the Russians walked and the Germans used horses.

80% of the Soviets and the German divisions were horse drawn (in terms of supplies, artillery, equipment, etc.). All regiments walked from the railhead outside of bicycle mounted battalion or companies (fusilier, which is also in the game). The Germans however, used more motor vehicles in their infantry divisions than the Soviets in order to provide life for essential support services.
US infantry regiments were not fully mobile. The transport could lift a regiment at a time, but not all 3 unless special provisions were allocated.

I believe the chassis used by the M8 was the same as the Stuart light tank.
It'll probably be like the US version of the SU-76, but with with even less AT pen ability.

I have to wonder how they're going to balance such a beast. The Pak 43 and Elefant with their 88m guns already have 440-360 penetration, 320 damage, and 100 range. What's a 128mm gun gonna do? You can't make it any stronger without getting OP!

The Jagdtiger is the OKW's version of the ISU except with more penn and more armor? Slower?

The ISU-152 was 152mm.

The ISU-152 is an Assault Gun mounting a 152mm Howitzer, the Jagdtiger is a Tank Destroyer mounting a 128mm Anti-Tank Gun.
Besides the ISU-152 isn't exactly a key picture of balance at the moment...

I think it is likely that the Jagdtiger would be a merging of the Elefant and the ISU-152. It would probably be even slower than these two vehicles, as well.
