Default British tank

Finally...Heng Long will be releasing a British tank. It is still under wraps as to which model. Will post as soon as information becomes available. So, what we know, Sherman, Jagdtiger and a British tank, coming soon to a battlefield near you!

Yeah, I mentioned the Comet and was told no, an earlier model. "Just tell me already," I said. No can do was the response. Will stay after them, though.

Is it possible that it could be a Firefly? I mean, it makes sense, since they're making a Sherman anyway.

Just our luck they may come out with a Vicklers light....early enough. Anything would be OK....Tigers and KTs have the market fully saturated.

early hey... Mark-1 Male early enough? Crusader or Matilda II maybe? Cromwell would be good, it would sorta fit and they look OK!

They will stick with medium/large tanks to keep mechanicals the same.

I gotta move now or I'll run outta room! [] Just when I thought I would be owning just one HL, these will be a great asset!!!

That's gotta be a Churchill. Someone is already building one!

although its not WW2 such as most tanks, but a mark 1 early male would be actuallty quite nice! and if you were to IR it, you could have 2 LED's!!!

LMAO!

well its great to here that they are rining out a british tank, i hope its not a firefly as they are brining out that sherman that can be converted anyway!

HOPE its a Comet or Matlida or Crusader!!

thanks,

Matt

If they are going to put out a Sherman, then a Firefly is the most probable. Keep in mind HL's elevation unit, and the turret sizes of Matilda and Valentine.

But if HL drop the BB guns and just go IR then turret size isn't a problem.

Firefly, Sherman ... they're basically the same thing so let's hope it's a Churchill or a Cromwell.
