I literally posted it lol, everyone always skips it but that vehicle above with the Bkan turret is the Kranvagn chassis. It was mounted backwards on the chassis, it would have better mobility than our current Bkan.
Kranvagn had two built chassis, one was tested with a 84mm gun and hydronuematic suspension, the other would be the test rig for the Bkan.
Then it can be added as TT vehicle.
Not with the original turret, only the AKV fits gaijins standards
Probably not lack of a actual prototype turret probably mean it’ll be a event if there’s actually enough information about stuff like the gun and whatever
There’s more than enough info on the Kranvagn document wise, we know armor thickness of the plates, reload speed and performance of the ammo for the different guns.
It’s all fairly well kept in that regard but I still don’t think it could be added given the turret was never built aside from a mockup.
You can lookup the meetings since basically all of the aspects of the Kranvagn were saved in document form.
These are the only two versions of the Kranvagn that technically could be added, imo realistically only the AKV 151 could work but that’s up to gaijin
My whishes for the next DCT event, I’m pretty sure it will be a ground vehicle as the last one was an aircraft and it seems that people are more hyped by tanks and stuff. I don’t know if the vehicle has to be ww2 era though.
STUG 4 ( not very exciting but idk when we will get it)
Geschutzwagen auf Tiger ( most wanted)
O I heavy tank (most wanted)
T 69 (very interesting tank but i prefer it to be in the tech tree)
Emil tank/ Kranvagn ( most wanted, first swedish domestic heavy )
Me262 B-1a /U1 ( very interesting variant that saw combat)
Northtrop YB 49 ( most wanted, cool as hell + bombers recent buff makes it a good candidate)
I still have plenty of others vehicles in mind, some french lights tank but as a french i’m biased and I know people don’t want them as much as I do.
Pls post your wish list as it will be very interesting to see what comes out of you guys, cheers !!!
If any version of the Kranvagn were to be added, it would certainly be the Centurion-turreted version. However, as that plan was never realized, I’m not expecting it.
As for the AKV 151, I question whether it’s been highly requested enough (or for long enough) to be considered as a DCT vehicle. It could show up in the normal event cycle, however.
If the assumption of no repeated nations does not hold, then a vehicle I think would be a perfect DCT candidate would be the so-called “Messerspit”, a German-captured Spitfire outfitted with the nose section and engine of a Bf 109. This is another vehicle that has attained a sort of legendary status among the community. I don’t remember its armament, however. I believe it might have just been the nose-mounted M.G. 151 from the Bf 109 nose.
Tbf Smin stated not everyone will get a DCT event, by gaijins own Logic sweden doesn’t really have anything aside from the Kranvagn in being well known and popular.
Kranvagn also can’t be added to to it being another flakpanzer type problem.
Given hardly anyone knows anything about the Kranvagn especially shown here it’s unlikely we’d see the AKV 151
Though we could still get the Finnish ISU 152 with a 20mm lol, they got as far as preparing a mount for the 20mm and they likely would have changed the armor profile if given enough time like the plans show.
Do you know where he said this? Because if this is true, then this changes some things. Even if the asumption of no repeated nations doesn’t hold for this year’s DCT, it may break sooner than I anticipated.
I still hold hope that they’ll choose to at least stop by Japan before cycling back through the already-done nations, because Japan actually does have at least one really good option, which is the Ki-64 as I mentioned previously. Among unimplemented Japanese prototypes, the Ki-64 stands out because of how much its been asked for.
That thing looks like it would be a balancing nightmare!
game is not ready for bob…
my favorite ww2 aircraft
The convo was with Smin was a while back, around the Togs release iirc, I could just ask him again next time he pops up in RxR.
As for the ISU, you’re telling me a 75mm armored TD at 1.0 with a gun with maybe 36-40mm pen would be hard to balance? Yes very much so lol
We could also get the T-34-75 or 1960s APDS Sturmi
T-34-88 and let players chouse on what TT they want it
Simpler solution only add it to Germany.
Yeah T-34-75 only has two sources for it.
The image of the exact T-34-85 in the museum has a modified gun collar from the Fins that originally fit the T-34-75, and we have a book mentioning the trials with the vehicle and that the original 85mm was put back into the turret
The suggestion for the T-34/88 in the USSR tree was VERY controversial (just look at the poll!). Clearly, it would go to Germany by popular demand.
You’d think… Russian biased company tho
my prediction is Gaijin will give us a huge middle finger and stick another ww2 proto which had a 75 (instead of 76!!!) in our bum
Yeah but some of those would be neat, I mean it’s that or gaijin adds the ETS
For me to avoid it as a 1 time event players before start grinding it they should chouse in what country would like it to go for themselves, someone wants Germany the other USSR and so on
