British high tier Squadron tank options / Petition to NOT add T-90S to Britain

I agree, it significantly alters the immersion of a “UK” TT, I wish they had made this a Russian squadron vehicle and simply buffed the underperforming aspects of the Chally 2.

According to Smin’s response, the T-90 will not affect British light tanks/IFVs, and there will be more Commonwealth vehicles.

perhaps including aircraft/helicopters ?

British wet dream come true

Well you cant effect something they are not working on, they have been saying they have been working on brit light stuff for 3 years with literally nothing to show for it.

I think the main negative though is that they have been developing this instead of the vehicles the community actually wants. It was suppose to come in the last major update but was delayed. So it must be taking up a not so insignificant amount of dev time to produce.

nathanclawfish · August 30, 2023, 2:09am

And its a folly for them to say these vehicles are not taking away from dev time if they clearly are. If they have ordered and modelled something like the bosvark its just a lie to say that did not take dev time from something else, as that is literally what they are doing.

in order for the commonwealth vehicles to not be taking away dev time from British vehicles they would have to increase the amount of people working on them. But what we have instead seen is a reduction in British vehicles and an increase in mediocre common wealth vehicles, last patch we got a copy paste vickers mk I and a sarc armoured car, its the equivalent of getting nothing, as the sarc is worse then literally every other vehicle at its br, and as previously stated the worst 2 pounder armoured car to see British service in the second world war. and the other one is just a pointless premium that costs basically the same as the khalid a full rank above it, its the definition of no one will ever play this

They have also defo faffed with the model, that mine blade is new

Apart from Ajax and Warrior CSP/2, like Scimitar and FV432/30 are unlikely to provide significant assistance.
This is similar to removing the MILAN from the Warrior.
However, it can meet the needs of certain players.

While the “immersion” argument has taken a pretty big hit over time, I agree with you 100%.

I mean, if you are an Indian player, what the heck do you do? So many Indian army camos for most of the Rank 6&7 vehicles… you could have a fully visually Indian lineup. The crown jewel of that? Sorry, you need to grind a squadron vehicle for a separate nation, with no other Indian tanks to accompany it (the Vicker’s copy paste doesn’t count imo, bad vehicle AND way too low in BR to be in same lineup).

Commonwealth subtree
oh yes

AlvisWisla · August 30, 2023, 6:14am

T-90A took seemingly 5 years of work, so…

nathanclawfish · August 30, 2023, 12:09pm

Well that is still in service and has unique mechanics, most of the british ifvs from the 80’s can be modelled using a readily avalible export sales brochure and a copy of a janes book that costs at most 20 quid.

nathanclawfish · August 30, 2023, 12:10pm

You would be surprised, the british have literally hundreds of export ifv’s to choose from with basically every gun and missile system you can think of. The majority are also based on either the warrior, stormer or spartan chassis, which means gaijin only has to get a turret modelled for stuff we already have in game

Except the abrams every other australian vehicle is in the british tree. Australia is more then just a commonwealth nation, its a british realm so has far more ties with britain then india. You said in the past despite the fact the australian abrams is crown property it goes to america because they built it and now a russian tank goes to uk because commonwralth member. This just continues to show the disrespect these guys have for the british mains.

This goes with the british tank tree doesnt make any sense. Added the SA branch to “fix” the british trees lack of mobility, a fault made purely by gaijin not adding more british tanks that would fix that.

nathanclawfish · August 30, 2023, 1:09pm

That list as said is long and the majority are easy to implement, which makes their neglect even more egregious, as said Everything added for South Africa has a direct British equivalent. as seen below:

Vehicle: SARC Mk.IVA

Counterpart: Staghound Mk.1
