There are many tanks missing from Il-2 especially from the late war, and since many Il-2 Fans are transitioning to the Jet Era we need the tanks to keep up.
US:
M24 Chaffee
The armor was kept light, with the glacis plate only 25 mm thick (but sloped at 60 degrees from the vertical). A new lightweight 75 mm gun was developed, a derivative of the gun used in the B-25H Mitchell bomber. The gun had the same ballistics as the M3, but used a thinly walled barrel and different recoil mechanism. The design also featured wider (16 inch) tracks and torsion bar suspension. It had a relatively low silhouette and a three-man turret.

Another quick thing wouldn't it be great if in FMB you could select, copy, paste, and cut multiple objects at one time? Good for those detailed guys that like to add each and every ground crew in their correct spot. This would also be good for those big beach landings that have 100s of landing craft. It's boring and tedious trying to do each and every boat, and frankly it turns me off from creating FMBs.
All of this would be great :-)
Cheers!
