I hope the AI builds historical tanks at least on historical mode. Also, I have a feeling there's not going to be enough unique 2D/3D art for all these tank builds to keep it visually interesting/immersive. I hope all the major historical Tanks at least have art.
Please add Spaced Armor (looks like it's been added thank you for listening!) and the early night vision (FG 1250 units on Panthers) for the German Tanks. And ensure there are enough module slots to actually build historical Tanks. This is one of the problems with the Ship Designer - there aren't not enough slots to build historical Submarines for example. There are going to be a lot of modules so in order to build the more advanced Tanks of the war we need enough slots.
German Tanks (early war at least) also had grenade/mine launchers fitted onto them. It would be nice if these were available.
Auto Design is a great feature to have. It would be even better if it allowed you to set parameters. For example, Auto Design me a Tank for Firepower or Speed etc.

So happy to see Railway lines in the game now. Just wish the map had more tiles so we could cram more historical Railway lines in there. I hope at least it's possible for modders to add more tiles to the map. CPU's and GPU's have improved a lot since HOI4 released years ago. I hope Paradox does a map expansion at some point.
Regarding Armored Trains - please make them more useful and realistic. Currently it appears all they do is offer more protection from air attack. That's very underwhelming. In reality they were heavily (maybe primarily) used in anti-partisan warfare (for example by the Germans on the Eastern Front) and they also participated in at least some battles. For example, by both the Germans and Poles during the invasion of Poland. Although once the Poles blew up their infrastructure the German Armored Trains were not able to fight I think. I think that an Armored Train(s) should provide small buffs to your Divisions if they are fighting on a Railway line and in the same territory.
Regarding Rivers. If Rivers can be used to transport supplies then Barges or something should be added to the game and you should be able to attack them. Otherwise they are just magically transporting supplies for free and invulnerable to attack. That's not fair or realistic. Also it would be nice if the Rivers in the game were labeled with their names.
Please expand Scorched Earth to more than just Railways. You should be able to destroy everything in your territory if you want. Although it should take some time and maybe the presence of Divisions.
Overall really happy with the Tank Designer and the DLC. It's close to perfection. I only have minor gripes. I think this DLC is going to be received very well.
