let me check rq, probably MM/econemy/progress since its related to TT’s and since the vehicles already have suggestions for them
Ill just keep it here till it gets closed again, well technically these are machineries of war
Doesn’t Germany already have 3 reserve vehicles, one of them is just foddered with a normal vehicle?
I don’t have a problem with this but also don’t think it’s quite necessary. BR 1.0 vehicles are like 120SP, it takes a single round to unlock them. And on your first battle you are given a free premium, essentially another reserve vehicle already for the new players.
Yeah, but the main thing is that newbies get destroyed before they can do anything so the little sp is still quite a struggle
yes they do, but I dont want Germany to miss out, so I just added one for them
I do really like the idea since it means that new players can get a full line up of reserve vehicles however i do think there are some better options
Japan
- Chi-I: Japan’s first tank that was completely domestically built, basically a proto I-Go with some characteristics of the Ro-Go and even the Soviet T-28
- Otsu Gata: Unique Japanese variant of the Char-D1 which includes a more powerful engine and the original 37mm mle.1916 cannon with a Type-11 cannon
- Another option is to replace the ingame Ha-Go with the Ha-Go Late that swaps the Type-94 37mm with a Type-100 or Type-1 37mm meaning it could use APHE shells that are actually useful
The Chi-Ni isn’t the worst option but i feel like it better suited being in a folder with the Chi-Ha
China
The AMR ZB is a decent choice for another reserve vehicle for China however there are some other options which include
- BA-27
- BA-6
- BT-5
- Vickers Mk E Type B
Italy
The AS-42 with the Solothurm S-18 cannon may not be the best choice for a reserve since it’s basically a wheeled L3/33. It’s better suited as a separate vehicle in a folder with either the L3 or the AS-42 47
The only other real alternative for a reserve vehicle is the M8 LAC since the Italians did operate them in large numbers
Sweden + Finland
The L-180 with the 37mm Bofors if it was added would most likely be BR 1.3 minimum. Better alternatives for additional Swedish reserves include
- L-60: Export variant of the L-60 for the Irish Army equipped with a Madsen 20mm autocannon, would function as Sweden’s answer to the Pz-II
- L-180 and/or L-182 (Lathi): Again both exports of the L-180 for the Irish and Finnish armies, the Irish L-180 like with the L-60 was equipped with a Madsen 20mm though from 1974 all remaining Irish L-180’s that were still in service were modernized with several modifications including a new engine and the original autocannon being replaced with a Hispano Mk.V. The Finnish L-182 was equipped with the Lathi 20mm anti-tank rifle
- Sweden yet another nation that can get a M8 LAC since they to used them mainly in the Congo
Israel
Israel is an interesting case where even though yes they don’t start at Tier I they still need more reserve vehicles. The main issue is that because Israel starts at Tier IV instead of lets say Tier III for example it would make the Israeli line have enough vehicles in the same or the very least 0.3 BR gap to make a complete line. Potential additional reserves (most likely replacing the M-51 in that role) includes the following
- M-1: Israeli desgination for the M4A1 (76) Sherman
- M-50 Isherman: Basically the M4 (SA-50) Sherman found in the French TT except the Israeli’s actually used them in service
- Degem Yud: Unique subvariant of the M-50 with a lowered hull, due to it being a prototype it could be the new potential starter premium
- PT-76B
Otherwise i don’t have any other problems with the options from the other nations

Do you have any suggestions? Pls share
Fantastic, i will add.
just came here after torturin myself spadin all of Rank I France,
M8 LAC as chinese reserve needs to evaporated, I saw people with +3k battles on the Chinese M8.
Replace it with any of the tanks that @AspandaIV suggested and move it up.
The up-armed ZB is still pretty dubious. The 47 mm gun mentioned in the suggestion is seemingly too large to the be the one mounted to the vehicle. It’s possible it’s a Frankensteined gun using the muzzle break from one weapon fixed to the barrel of another, which gives the impression of the Schneider 47 mm.
While it would be more boring, a captured late production Ha-Go would be a safe option. That does sounds dull, but the late production models used the Type 98 gun, which is comparable to the German 37 mm in performance. This would be the safest option that requires no approximations or guesswork to even model.
While this still might sound a bit underwhelming, this is more so an issue with Rank I being a complete mess balance wise. Many tanks just should not be 1.0, and are getting highly preferential treatment, such as excessive reloads despite not having semi-automatic gun breeches (BT-5 and M2A4), or getting access to later high performance ammunition (UK, US, and Swedish reserves). It’s frustrating to me because Gajin seldom shows any concern for the low ranks, so we are unlikely to ever see Rank I get a proper overhaul.

My problem is that some reserve tanks are way too strong currently. The BT-5, Cruiser, Tetrach and M8 LAC are so much stronger than most other reserve tanks.
Like how is the BT-5 a reserve but not the T-60?
T-26s are also a joke compared to the M8 or BT-5.
They should be at least 1.3 or even 1.7.

1.0 and above is mega compressed. It’s “fine” only because most players spend a minuscule amount of matches in these vehicles.

except the moment they want to start a new nation, they meet the dude with +200 battles with full rank 1 chinese Lineup coming to farm winrate or k/d.
Could just make all BR1s reserve by default, most nations have a few Br1s that are not reserve for whatever reason
I agree!
