My Australian Cruiser Suggestion was forwarded to the developers. Had around half a dozen types of Australian Cruiser tanks not in-game yet. From memory:
Built in-metal:
AC E2 (25-Pdr)
AC III “Thunderbolt”
AC E1 (25-Pdr) with the twin mount
AC E1 (17-Pdr)
Paper:
AC II
AC IA (L/43) 6-Pdr Mk. III with hull MG
AC IA (L/43) 6-Pdr Mk. III without hull MG
AC IB (25-Pdr)
Missing from that suggestion:
AC E2 (L/34) with the long barrel 25-Pdr
That’s pretty much all major variants. There’s plenty more paper ones. An experimental vehicle with Christie type suspension too.
I thought the A.C.IA was actually built with a 6pdr. This photo appears to be a 6pdr. I think the IA production models were under construction when the contract was cancelled.
its true that Gaijin hates Australia since they won’t even give us severs so we get average 200-600 ping instead of adding tanks and place i would rather they give us severs.
There was close to no Aircrafts being made by Australian themselves
There is close to no tanks/IFV being made by Australian themselves
So i don’t why Australia should be added, alone or in Britain, as they would become copy pasted vehicules from US/FR/German TT - if we do not consider the UK ones being UK
Look up Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation and Government Aircraft Factories/Department of Aircraft Production/Boeing Australia/De Havilland Australia. Or this video for a brief overview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6URFRMyvOXA
As for ground vehicles, in addition to the 5 that are already in War Thunder:
There are a few more Australian Cruiser variants with 25-pdr and 6-pdr guns
Rhino Armoured Car
LP2 2-pdr Anti-Tank Gun Carrier
SP 25 Pounder Yeramba
Matilda Dozer Tank (and some flamethrower variants that would be unsuitable for War Thunder)
Various Portees with 2-pdr, 6-pdr and 40mm Bofors
M113A1 MRV
M113A1 FSV
Land Rover Series 1 106mm RCL
Land Rover Series 2 MILAN ATGM mount
Land Rover Series 2 ENTAC ATGM mount
AS9 Huntsman
Leopard AS1
ASLAV-25
ASLAV-25 TOW Turret
Boxer 133 CRV
AS21 Redback
Hawkei models including a NASAMS SPAA variant
Lots of other tanks we used had minor local market modifications as well, like the M3 Grants. These are just some of what I know about. Maybe they’re not all indigenous Australian designs, but they are all local market models modified specifically by us and/or built here. This also doesn’t include tanks we used that to my knowledge had little or no modifications worth talking about. Could still get them in Aussie camos and markings. I hope this helps.
Did you not see my post with all the Australian Cruiser tanks?
AC E2 (25-Pdr)
AC III “Thunderbolt”
AC E1 (25-Pdr) with the twin mount
AC E1 (17-Pdr)
AC E2 (L/34) with the long barrelled 25-Pdr
That’s 5 vehicles that can still be added. There’s also the Rhino Armoured Car. At least 2 variants of Universal Carrier with 2-Pdr guns. Numerous portee trucks.
I agree, Australia has nowhere near enough for an independent ground tree. I even experimented with a Canada+Australia/New Zealand (any tree Australia is in should have New Zealand as well in the ANZAC spirit) but I still felt that was not quite enough (probably better than Israel though lol). I’d like to see Australia added with a line or two in the British tree.
