M3 Halftracks in the US Doctrines

I am confused by the OP, but I just want to see the M3 HT replaced with the M5 ht in Mechanized Co.

The M17 AA Halftrack was based off of the M5, so keep it that way.

Seems to be some confusion between the Half-Tracks. The M5 and M17 Half-Track was an export model for the Soviet Union and other countries, the United States used the M3 and M16 Half-track as well as others based on the M3. That said, it makes no sense that Relic added the M5 Half-Track to USF, since we never used that version in war, it's like giving USF a T-34/76 because the Soviets gave us two of them in 1941.

I'm assuming the real reason USF got an M5 was because Relic couldn't be bothered to model the M45 on the newer M3 model. Not like it matters much anyway because the M5 model doesn't look like an M5 anyway, and is in-fact just the M3 model from CoH1, renamed.

I disagreed on the poll since the issue was minor--cosmetics are cosmetics, after all. If relic put the M3 in the doctrine and coded it to allow an upgrade into an M16, it that would be fine with me...
