What are your top 10 "I wish" items for Oddzial Osmy? Maybe Marcin will consider a few things if they're on enough peoples' list. Here are mine:

Dutch YPR-765 PRAT anti-tank vehicle

US M548 tracked cargo vehicle

West German Beobachtungspanzer (already available) sold by packs instead of just as part of whole battery packs

Soviet SNAR-10 Big Fred battlefield surveillance radar

West German DKW Munga

Green Archer battlefield surveillance radar

Dutch DAF 328 Truck

Dutch M113 C&R with 25mm auto turret

Soviet S-60 57mm towed AA gun (ideally with a few Fire Can radar trailers)

West German FK20-2 twin 20mm towed AA guns

What are your 10?

I think pretty much anything Chinese would fill my 10 – both aircraft and ground vehicles. Might even get to a top 20!

Bashytubits17 Apr 2014 2:16 p.m. PST

Yes a good selection of Chinese vehicles would be good.

Modern 3rd world infantry / insurgents in standing poses
Merkava III/IV – latest Israeli MBT

Achzarit – Israeli heavy APC
Modern Chinese MBTs, APCs, IFVs, aircraft etc

Piranha V – latest european wheeled APC

M60A1 would be a very welcome addition too

marcin250118 Apr 2014 4:17 a.m. PST

Some Chinese will appear soon.

Modern British infantry standing-could be used for Modern French, Chinese and Aussie as they all use a bullpup assault rifle.
Modern African Insurgents, Third World Infantry.

BCantwell18 Apr 2014 5:55 a.m. PST

More AAA and SAM vehicles/installations of all types.

I want them as ground elements in CY6! games

Lion in the Stars18 Apr 2014 9:29 a.m. PST

Swedes. S-tank and Pbv302, since O8 already makes Centurions. Infantry probably doesn't matter.

While it's not modern, I'd also love to see the limber teams for Napoleonic artillery (and ACW, as long as I'm wishing). I can kinda fake it right now, but I'd rather not.

marcin250118 Apr 2014 11:38 a.m. PST

Swedes are done already ;)

HistoryPhD18 Apr 2014 12:41 p.m. PST

Lion, the S-Tank and PBV 302 are already available, but I'd definitely love to get a BV-202

bishnak18 Apr 2014 2:23 p.m. PST

"Some Chinese will appear soon."

That's excellent news Marcin!! I can't wait to see (and buy!) them.

Hopefully it'll include infantry, which will cover off on Jeffbird's comment, which I agree with.

Swedes are done already ;)
Huh, how'd I miss those?!? *embarrassed*

EvilBen19 Apr 2014 2:28 p.m. PST

AMX-VCI, please. Please?

A Panhard EBR would be nice too, one day.

I also second the towed AA gun suggestions.

Good to hear that Chinese are coming.

HistoryPhD19 Apr 2014 3:26 p.m. PST

AMX-VCI, I'd vote for that too

Mako1119 Apr 2014 4:29 p.m. PST

SAMs

Fatman20 Apr 2014 11:46 a.m. PST

Marcin pleeeeeeeeeease tell me the Chinese will include aircraft!?!

marcin250121 Apr 2014 2:47 a.m. PST

Chinese of course will eventually get some aircraft.
