Just stumbled back into this topic, so I thought I'd drop what has recently struck me as sorely needed:
1) At least a few variants of the HMMWV (M998) - I know there has been an IP issue, but these are vehicles developed by the American Government/Military at Taxpayer expense. I believe using the military designations resolves any issue that might arise on this subject. After all, they are HISTORICAL and PUBLIC in nature.
2) A CUTV (1-1/4 ton pickup)
3) A HEMTT (M977)
4) An M939 (5-ton, served as cargo, dump, wrecker, van, etc. Should at least have the cargo, dump, and wrecker available.)
4) An LMTV and MTV (2.5 and 5 ton trucks)
5) A few variants of the M1 Abrams MBT

And though not American...
6) A T72 MBT
7) A T80 MBT

These are the most glaring omissions from the current offerings in my opinion. Especially for anything 1990 or later.

Looks like you'll be getting an early 2025 Christmas present then Dark Horse...at least as far as T-72's go  :)

According to the December 2024 newsletter the next modern vehicle release is imminent:

10mm Modern Vehicles - ALMOST!
Similar to the above, we've had these all designed and they're in Pendraken HQ ready to go into moulds.  I'll grab some photos of them first and pop them up on the Forum for folks to look at. This batch is mainly T-72s, plus a BM-27 truck.
