Diversify the Base Install Roster & Maps (within ~1 GB)

Suggestion

Hey devs,First off, I want to say I genuinely enjoy Panzer War — the core mechanics are solid and the attention to detail is impressive. I'm writing this as constructive feedback based on a recent experience.I downloaded the game and set out on a trip where I had no internet access. When I opened it, I was met with the base installation — no expansion packs — and I noticed the vehicle roster and map selection were quite limited. I ended up playing for a few hours with only a small number of vehicles and maps, which made the experience feel noticeably narrow.I completely understand the reasoning behind keeping the initial download size small, and I respect that. But I think the base game would benefit from a more diverse and representative roster from the start.My suggestion:— Ground vehicles specifically need more variety, not just heavy tanks. The base install should include at least one or two examples from each class: tank destroyers, light tanks, medium tanks, heavy tanks, and self-propelled artillery. On top of that, it shouldn't be limited to tracked vehicles only — wheeled armored vehicles should also have representation from the start.— Include at least 1–2 vehicles from each broader category (ground, air, naval(Tank types, helicopters, Propeller warplanes, warships) in the base install, even at a basic level— Add a few large, lightweight maps that are big enough to meaningfully use all available vehicle typesAll of this said, I want to be clear: I'm not asking for the base package to become bloated. A cap of around 1 GB for the initial install would be more than enough to accommodate this kind of variety while keeping the download reasonable. It's absolutely achievable within that limit if the selection is curated thoughtfully.The goal is simply enough diversity so that players who are offline or haven't downloaded expansions yet still get a well-rounded taste of what Panzer War has to offer.Thanks for the hard work on this game. Hope this feedback is useful!

Additionally, the base install without expansions should include a few top-tier vehicles across categories — low-tier vehicles alone simply aren't enough.
