this argument doesn’t matter anyway as it will go to UK and no one else

No amount of arguing will change that

Do you have a statement by Gaijin on that?

I made a suggestion for Germany and it was accepted with no problems.

I have a statement… why do yous want a challenger 2 130mm TD in the German tech tree ?? Why not just ask for another leopard 2 like the A8 are something are if your just looking for something with a bigger gun the KF51 ??

and i can make a suggestion for a Canadian Leopard to the British tree doesn’t mean it will get it

Because it could be years before we see the introduction of the Panther to War Thunder. The Challenger 130 could be added now however.

Not really look how quick challenger 3 Technology Demonstrator was added !!

No, you can only make a suggestion for a Canadian Leopard to go to Canada. If you tried to make it for Britain the suggestion would simply be rejected.

Panther is a lot more advanced than the Challenger 3 demonstrator though.

It Can still be added only it will have artificial nerves like the 2a7 and challenger 3 Technology Demonstrator !!

I don’t think Gaijin does artificial nerfs to tanks, unless you count reload rate. Any nerfs are down to bugs or Gaijin being Gaijin.

There is still a lot of tanks to come before the Panther so I don’t think we will see it for some time.

So when will the British BAE company’s CV9030/35/40/50/120 join the British tree?

Gaijin dont care where the suggestion aays it should go, they put it where they see fit, which they have said multiple times now.

Germans seem to get really annoyed when brits and canadians ask for a leopard, but then germams turn around and ask for a Cr2.

It is a Challenger 2 turret and hull with a new gun and some blocks on the front.

Just like how this is still a matilda with a new gun

It’s not a Chally 2 turret at all. It’s a modified turret from the Rheinmetall Challenger LEP proposal. They didn’t want to modify a perfectly good Leopard turret so they chose the Challenger LEP turret instead, which was going to be scrapped anyway.
