Man gotta do me dirty by showing the strikemaster while I still sit with hopium of seeing the minigun and 20mm gunpods for it along with an Omani (or Saudi) camo officially added :<

The Greek Crotale would be an oddball, and I wouldn’t be too confident on it coming to the game, as although gaijin could add it, it doesn’t adhere to some of the norms of the systems we currently have.
The entire system is a towed (unpowered) trailer, which doesn’t even qualify it for a suggestion on the forums (tbf the SLAMRAAM in the tower radar config we have couldn’t even be suggested). Now this is gaijin ofc, and we have the SLAMRAAM, wouldn’t put it past the to add this. However, it would definitely be a weird vehicle to model functionally given how you’d want the camera to function through first/third person interactions given where the firing system is situated compared to where the power vehicle is situated.

Anyway, as noted above gaijin won’t allow a tree to have any more than 7 columns in total, presumably 5 researchable and 2 side section max. It’s just a depiction so I get it (a project of my own exceeds the 3 row rule), but something to keep in mind.
Another thing is that the 105mm 2A4 will likely be the same BR as the regular, Id be a marginal difference in firepower and gaijin will likely give it a 5s reload rate. The ASPIS should also be much higher as it’ll likely get DM63.
Lastly if I’m not mistaken, its the Osa-AKM, not AK, Potato potato but still. Either that, or they have both variants, conflicting sources but when I looked into it the AKM is what I settled on.

Would it being towed prevent it from actually being operated ie fired?
At the end of day, Gaijin can get around this entire issue of ‘Battlepass is terrible. Give Unique stuff’ vs ‘Events should have copy paste so no FOMO’ by implementing a means for players to fairly access older content, just that the BP/Event is the easiest/ cheapest way of getting the reward.
Do what Helldivers 2 does and let all the BPs/Events be grindable permanently? Just charge a price at the gate and increase the grind requirements slightly
Rerun events X-Years after it originally happened
Re-add the content to the game permanently after X-Years.
Idk. I feel like me and the community have given Gaijin infinite-number of outs and solutions over the years but this happens time and time again

Ingame the towed radars on the SLAMRAAM shouldn’t be used operationally unless stationary, gaijin decided to ignore this, meaning this system should be on the table yes. Only thing we don’t have a precedent for is a towed launcher.
Event re-runs or Helldivers style Battlepasses would go against Gaijins reliance on FOMO
Even the Previous Vehicles trophy is weirdly generous from Gaijin and they seem to actively avoid putting interesting vehicles into those
They don’t put old event vehicles into the Warbond shop either
The SL boxes are cool and all, but they suck as a way to get old event vehicles, especially since they can give you duplicates
The recycling system could be reworked into a crafting system that would allow people to craft old vehicles, but I doubt they would introduce something like that
I’m not going to lie, I’m willing to pay actual money for old event vehicles and frequently use the market, but a lot of vehicles aren’t available on there and of the ones that are on there, a lot of them are waaaaaay too expensive

Should not or can not?
It should be viable ingame, even if it doesn’t function while on the move IRL.
With all the due respect, “We have eyes everywhere”, apart from sounding a bit creepy :D I have some doubts about that. Or you’re all blind or you just don’t want to see. When the biggest part of your community asks for something that is not unreasonable, probably you should listen (just a bit, uh).
It’s a bad marketing move too, if I’m allowed to say, a more attractive bp brings more players grinding it.
That’s a shame because I bet you had way better options.
Not fulfilling the communities wishes doesn’t mean that they don’t see them
The comment was more about moderating the Suggestions forum though, I believe
Now Israel will be able to have lower BR equipment - maybe even ships!! :)
I got that, I understand that they cannot please everyone and I’m fine with that. Every player wants something different, you cannot listen to all of them. BUT when complaints are always the same, well probably it’s because they’re doing something wrong.
