AMD-35 - The Soviet Trophy Panhard 178

i dont just mean the BA-64 but the home grown examples that havent been suggested instead, as well as continuing to namedrop and support such vehicles additions in the wishlist and RR&D threads.

I enjoy suggesting things that most others wouldn’t do.
I do make homegrown suggestions as well, though since Gaijin loves simple copy and paste this is like walking into a candy store.

Fair enough. I was surprised that churchil, valentine and matilda variants had been ignored for such a long time. they make a lot of sense while not really turning the russia tree into an oversized blob of everyone elses stuff.

I dont think dangling a chocolate bar in front of a fat kid is a good way to make them go on a diet.

theres far too much C&P for the games own good already, it does need more focused pushback from the playerbase.

I don’t mind.

A lot of us do so its gonna be a controversial addition at best.

Oh no, a AMD was added to the Soviet tech tree, the horror.
The world would still spin at 465.1 m/s and the grass will still be green, if this is considered controversial then talk about priorities.

Honestly, not 100% sure on this one, ngl. Unlike the Matilda, Churchill, Lee, etc., this doesn’t really have too much of an interesting service life or widespread use. Unless it had Soviet ammunition for the 25 or something, I just think this is one of the cases where you could just have it be a skin for the AMD 35. But if the info says it had Soviet 25mm ammunition, then it might be somewhat interesting.

Neutral for me for now, if it can use soviet 25mm ammo definitely+1 for me

I wouldn’t count on that sort of cross compatibility. The only thing the two guns’ rounds have in common is caliber.
These vehicles also weren’t really numerous enough in Soviet service to justify the effort of creating new rounds.

Has this been suggested?

Yes.
There really isn’t a ton of vehicles like this, most of them you’ll find with 7.62s and what not.

-1 copypaste
If it had a domestic soviet armament (TnSh, 20-K, etc) then it would be +1. This is just copypaste of a copypaste

Interestingly, it was the Germans that put a Soviet 45 mm on the AMD.35.

Now THIS is worth adding 100% for german tt, maybe 2.3 with scouting

I’d vote for that if it was a suggestion.

OT:

That’s a no from me, dawg - it’s copy-paste, not unique or interesting. A domestic design or the captured hybrid above would be better.

2.3 might be pushing it a little. I could see it being 2.0 like P204(f) KwK 38.
It’s functionally a BT-7 that trades all of its p/w for better reverse and survivability, which is a pretty fair trade imo.

I just want it to get scouting, lowest br for rank 2 is 2.3 iirc
