Was the gun unique to the FV215?
Because if it’s just the hull being modified, that might not be enough
Yes the E-100 came into the game before they decided not to add anymore vehicles like that.

T58 never had a functional gun or autoloader and its armor and everything is so ambiguous that gaijin got to just make up what ever they wanted, Object 292 also never had a functional gun or autoloader.
both way more recent additions.

Did you not read?
The turret was made, just not welded together, the Gun was the same as the 4005.
Its better than the E100 having a turret it physically never would have been able to fit.
Having a functional gun or autoloader or whatever isn’t a requirement
What is a requirement is that parts specifically designed for a vehicle have been built and that there is a final design (so they have something to model lol)

It should be, thats the most important part of the damn tank.
Just making shit up off theoretical in reports designed to try and get the millitary to buy into the project is a slippery slope.
Does the Badger get its High ROF mode for its 30mm? No.
Despite it being plastered all over its marketing material.
The Radkampfwagen 90 never had a working turret
Neither the XF5U or J6K1 ever flew, the J6K1 was never even properly built, they had a full-size mock-up of it, which they fitted weapons to
The Kikka never had guns
The Sla.16 engine was never installed on a real Tiger II
The Sherman III/IV straight up never existed, Sweden never owned a Sherman IV, so it would have been impossible for them to put a Sherman III turret on a Sherman IV hull
The Santal apparently never had proper launchers installed, just mock-ups
There are plenty of examples in the game, if you want to count lack of an important functionality as a reason to not add a vehicle

actually that ones wrong, Sweden did have a Sheman 105, that they eventully put a standard turret and M3 75 on for testing.
The only real inaccuracy on that thing is the missing MG port.
In one of the images of it during testing you can actually see the Sherman III that the M3 75MM armed turret came from later on.
No
The hull is wrong entirely. It’s not just the MG port.
The real Sherman “III/IV” used a Sherman IB hull, because, again, the Swedish army never had a Sherman IV hull.

The Sherman IV was the M4A3 hull, with the Ford V8.
That was the British designation for the A3 hull. No mater what Gun it had or anything. Its a British 105 Sherman IV.
They didn’t have a Sherman IV.
The Sherman IB was a Sherman I (regular M4) with a 105mm.
The Sherman hybrid they built used a Sherman IBs hull (again, regular M4, not M4A3/Sherman IV) and a Sherman III turret.
This is the back of the hull, the number “T-270894” identifies it as a Sherman IB.
To drive it home, this is what the back of the Sherman III/IV looks like in-game compared to what the back of a regular Sherman M4 looks like
we need decompression and put it at 13.3 GRB

Wait if the Santal never had real launchers does that mean Roikat and BOSAM are viable?
I assume you mean the Rooikat ZA-HVM
The problem with that one is that the crucial part, that being the launchers, probably wasn’t built.
Since the Rooikat itself was built and entered service, the qualification goes from “parts of the vehicle” to “parts specific for that variant”, meaning that with only mock-ups, there is nothing that was built for the Rooikat SAM specifically. (Sadly)
You’ll have to explain to me whaat the BOSAM is though lol
Edit: if you want to know more about the Rooikat ZA-HVM, I bet Devil06 would be delighted to tell you all about it and why his suggestions for it were rejected
Genuinely whats wrong with adding a vehicle that Had all the components ready, and just never got put together, when we have tanks that physically never worked. (or ships that straight up never existed)
That seems rough
The part of the SANTAL that was mock-up only was the launchers, not the entire turret
It still means that it couldn’t fire, which was the point of my reply
Yeah I guess it just depends on if gaijins feeling it or not tbh
