You mean good acceleration, the Type 74 has bad reverse speed and the top speed is capped at 54km/h because of the subpar transmission. I don’t want to downplay the acceleration because it truly is amazing compared to other tanks at its br, but “mobility” is more than just hp/t ratio
Also the Stingray with M426 would be 10.X tier, especially if it gets 5s ace reload

Nice pictures :D
But no, this is not the reason why it was rejected. If the US trialed the Stingray (this one), then Suggesting it for the US is still possible, as with all the other varaints of it (Stingray II, Prototypes etc).

Explain how the Type 74 and Type 16 are equivalent. And I’m not saying the US doesn’t deserve the Stingray. I’m saying both Japan and US could get it

There were other competitors that filled the same role as the Stingray. In fact the Stingray is the most basic LT that took part in the competition. The US already has the XM8 but Gaijin made that a rare event vehicle so boo hoo.
The US didnt adopt it but Thailand did. That speaks more for it be fitted to the Japanese Tree than US ever will. It didnt even win the competition.

You are talking to a guy saying the Finnish F/A18 should got to America and tha the AH-64E shouldn’t go to china via Taiwan as the heil is America
Then says a stormer made for the US that they didn’t adopted has no reason to go to Uk while saying UK can’t have the F111K
He is a open book on what he wants

I made this suggestion on the old forum.
And it was passed on for consideration, I hope it appears soon.

If Thailand were to be introduced in the game as a subtree, shouldn’t it go to Thailand? If that nation modified a vehicle to its needs, it should have it.

it is a Thai tank if a Thai subtree comes it should only go there

I really hope to see this in-game in some form. I’m working on a suggestion for the Stingray II myself, but I also came across some more pictures of the original! If I recall, a number of these were taken by the 26th Cavalry Squadron, 3rd Cavalry Regiment in the Mueang Phetchabun district in 2020.
