It offers a 4.0 heavy and slightly more armor in different areas.
Many don’t care much if it offers new stuff, it’s the historical aspect. if you don’t like that then I’m not sure what to tell you, I guess you can just keep spamming my posts and bumping them that works too.

That’s actually a good point. For whatever reason, the Soviets seem to lack 4.0 Premiums aside from the captured Halftrack AA. Come to think of it, I don’t think there’s anything else that could be a viable 4.0 Heavy Tank premium

They also lack a 2.7 one which funnily enough the Matilda fits perfectly.
Meanwhile Sweden Japan and Italy without a single researchable heavy. Don’t take heavy tanks for granted

It’s probably because they have no options to begin with
P40, KV-IB(finish modified), O-I come to mind

KV-1B was inhaled by the German tree which was already confirmed to stay that way as for the O-I was a incomplete prototype, not sure of the details but I guess it’s up to gaijin to make that up.
That’s the KV-1B(e) in the German tree. The Finns painted it in an entirely different camouflage, added handles, mudguards and many other details. (Also a Finnish radio, but that doesn’t really impact anything)
Granted, they do have options, but Gaijin won’t add them for reasons.
Kranvagn for Sweden, for Japan they could give us the Type 91 or the O-I, Italy is more difficult, but iirc they could get something from Romania or Hungary (looking at you 44M Tas)

Yep, not counting the heavies the subtrees offer
Normally I would agree but russia isn’t lacking vehicles there and it could get even more of their own.
Listen man, I’m really tired of every TT becoming more and more similar to every other. At this rate we will get only mixed RB battles in few years and even right now SB has problem of same tanks in different teams.
And don’t tell me that GJ will introduce some overcomplicated system that will fix this, because they wont.

But it is lacking a 4.0 heavy and there isn’t anything that could fill that gap, it used to with the KV-1E but that has since then moved to 4.3.
Not every tree can have a perfect line up. CnP does not solve the issue, it just makes the game worse by making every tree homogeneous. The Soviet tree in particular is one of the most filled out trees in the game.
Italy and Japan have basically no heavy tanks, but I don’t want them to have copy paste Jumbos, I want them to have their own unique stuff, even if it doesn’t make a perfect line-up. Japan has all kinds of light and medium tank prototypes. Italy can have all kinds of Romanian tank-destroyers with it’s sub-tree.

That’s fine, many do want to see these vehicles represented in their trees as they should be and nobody is forcing anyone to play these vehicles.
Yeah they didn’t build any, instead they had a lot of light and medium ones, that’s the point.
I wont do “whataboutism” because I think its stupid, instead I will only say that I think the same about every other nation unless they really lack any tank that they could get and thee is there empty, then tanks that they bought or received is ok in small numbers.
If you find tanks like Matilda with soviet gun like we already have then I will stand with you.

Yeah I don’t think modified ones exist outside of the Matilda and Valentine, they would come with unique skins and perhaps visual modifications though.
Nobody is forcing me to play them, no, but I do have to fight them and deal with them in matchmaking. One of the most boring types of fights in this game are when you have mirror matches; it just turns the game into a meta-crunching world of tanks with slightly more realistic models and volumetric armor.

This is nothing new, you’re allowed to feel that way.
lend lease tank for USSR??? of course not, Soviet stuff for other TT?? yes. Ussr should have all the vehicles that got through lend lease (not capture ones) as all other countries. Only and only because its USSR TT you can see a 44% no in the vote ,while Germany has a lot of soviet stuff that were only captured

They were all captured and modified (apart from the British Churchill what imo should be replaced with a Churchill with a panzer 3 cupla to make it unique)
