Please add the Panzer III and T-26 tanks to the game, they played a vital role in the Eastern Front when Germany first attacked Russia.
Lots of players would love to see these in the game.
They would be good for early tank battles and support.

First: the Soviet Union have Т-70, to T-26 no role
secondly: PZ-3 is appropriate to compare with the T-50
thirdly: I would prefer the T-60 with 20-mm cannon

They played that role in 1941.

MP happens in 1944-45.

They were outclassed, outdated and re-purposed by that time.

We can also say that about T-34-76. Played role in 41-43, after that was totally changed to 85.

But... in CoH 2 it looks like in late war 76 was main soviet tank.

Numbers wise? Hell it was.
It was most common sight on the battlefield until the very end, there was a fair share of 85s, but 76s served from the beginning until the end.

"Quantity is a quality on its own" as he once said.

Who the hell subscribed to my posts? Why would you subject yourself to this? I know you are reading this. Are you one of the masochists subscribed to Katitof?

So? Plenty of good WWII games have similar units. Also their stats, build time and abilities would be different making them distinct choices to make.

You sound like those people that were against new units or the Pershing tank. But guess what? they have been added to the game and players are using them.

Except logically having the soviets field a woefully outdated tank makes little sense, and if it was a sensible suggestion, what role would it have? AI or AT? And besides the Light tank category for the soviets is covered by the T-70 so logically the T-26 can not fill a role that the soviets don't already have and is a waste of MP and fuel.

The Panzer III has always been suggested.

PzIII Flame Tank is a good shout, and frankly I think putting that kit on the Hetzer was a missed opportunity.

I could see the Panzer III series to have a role in the game as a light tank since it would be more armored than a Stuart.

However, the T-26 just wouldn't be suitable. Not only is it really inferior to the Panzer III, but it is a slow tank with an armor of a M20 Utility Car. It's not really an ideal light tank for the Soviets to use. Besides, the T-70 already fulfills that role of harassment.

Would P3s be cool and historical? Yes. Do they have a place in the game? No.

Seriously, where could P3s be added that didn't make them either game-breaking (pre-T3) or useless (T3)?

6 cp = useless. You can have a P4 out at 6 cp, if you want. And at that stage,anything weaker than a P4 is fodder for AT.

I suppose you can make it cost like the StuG but perform as bad as Puma.
But then again good luck Relic bothering.
