Any idea on what kinda tanks #5 & #6 are going to be?

Well, I don't know the dates, but they will be out early next year. They will be two tanks used by the Japanese army, the Type 74 and Type 90 tanks. Both modern tanks... Type 90 is still in service, I am not sure about the 74 -don't know if they still use them. Anyway, the type 74 looks a lot like the other tanks (those round turrets), but the type 90 is very modern looking (looks very much like the Leopard or M1).

I received them both two days ago. Sherman looks least modern. It looks like something from WWI. Can't believe they still used those things in Korean war. I still like to though - looks cool. Tiger is simply awesome.

One odd thing I found - I couldn't assign IDs to the new tanks with the controller from either T34 or Panter. I could control the tanks, etc but not assign ID. The new controller works fine for the older tanks though. I think they updated some firmware in the controller between the releases.
