It may have never been viable. It’s was an unproven design with an incredibly high fail rate. At least most other unfinished prototypes make logical sense.

Oh that’d be cool too. It’d be the only event heli in the game aside from the H-34.
Unfortunately none German at least were recorded as being armed idk for other nations
The Fa 223A Drache is the only one I’ve come across that was meant to carry weapons.
A machine gun for the observer and two bombs or depth charges to drop on ships.
Finding pictures of one with the bombs attached would probably be hard, if not impossible…
Unfortunately I don’t think that ever actually happened tho
I’m hoping for the O-I ether the 15cm gun or the 10.5cm doesn’t bother me witch one we get I just want more super heavy tanks
O-I as of a few weeks/month ago has been denied
I mean, KV-1E can’t go to Sweden but the ZIS-2 LVT and Chinese M8 exist
Running through what I think are possible ground vehicles, excluding the UK (TOG II) and USSR (KV -7). Criteria being low/mid-tier (WW2), well-known and highly requested, and ideally a prototype.
- USA
- I’m not sure of any highly popular designs we don’t yet have in game. Potentially the T67 GMC?
- Germany
- Stug IV
- Kind of a no-brainer, but would also be a pretty weak choice, given that it was a) promised for the tech tree, and b) functionally just a Stug III with a different model. Also was mass-produced.
- VK 30.02 (DB)
- Less-requested but definitely fits the niche better than the Stug IV.
- Stug IV
- France
- I couldn’t find anything that fits the criteria
- Japan
- O-I
- The O-I is the most obvious contender for a DCT vehicle in general, but since its been denied by Smin I don’t think we’re ever going to see it
- O-I
- Italy
- P.43
- Dubious that a functional prototype was constructed but some evidence does lean that way, iirc. Definitely a requested vehicle, and fits the criteria.
- 44M Tas (Hungary)
- Another highly requested vehicle.
- P.43
- Sweden
- I couldn’t find anything that fits the criteria; Kranvagn has been mentioned by others but I have a feeling that would be too high in BR (also slight copium since I would love to see it in the tech-tree)
- Israel
- Very few, if any, options and no place in the tech tree for low-tier vehicles

Old gift prems versus event
I wouldn’t doubt that some of them had the machine gun for the observer, but yeah, the bombs could just have never happened. Doesn’t help that only 20 or so were actually built…
Being limited to a MG 15 would make this a pointless addition.
At least on the LVT, I highly encourage you to recheck. It’s an event vehicle from Operation W.I.N.T.E.R. 2016/17
if that’s not a option than I wouldn’t mind getting the up armoured 2c with thicker side of 65mm and a 90mm front plate witch was originally called Lorraine but was renamed to Normandie

They seem to treat some event vehicles differently than others.
The KV-IB is a bit of a weird one, as it was available in a bunch of events.
China got that LVT and the M8 immediately when their tree got added, but Sweden didn’t get the KV-IB when their tree was added, even though the Swedish tree came with Finnish vehicles from the start.

I believe the phrase your looking for is “double standards” and frankly it’s disgusting to watch the Swedish tree get screwed over time and time again when it comes to Finland

The T-34-88 wasn’t even a real tank just so everyone knows. Someone did an investigation into it and found that all evidence of its existence was either fabricated or highly questionable at best.
Double standards, selective realism, P2W vehicles, biases towards certain player groups
Just regular Gaijin stuff

I seem to get worse than others. Being a Taiwanese Swedish main is like the worst of Gaijin assaulting me at once
