id argue that the unique circumstances involving the IS-7 should be taken into account when discussing possible vehichles, because it opens the possibility for a tie-in event with a more popular vehicle thats already in game for a unique vehicle that was requested a long time ago, but doesnt exactly have massive fanbase,
the raffle was based on points in a special gamemode only able to be played with KV-7,
Great, so a helicopter that is slower and bulkier than the Mi-8 and H-34 while having worse armament than the AH-1G
7.7 already is the lowest BR for helis and going lower would mess with the matchmaker logic, but even at 7.7 the ACH-47 would suck big time
No, the IS-7 raffle should be ignored, it wasn’t the DCT event, it was a bonus event after DCT
its better than the italian starter heli by miles, and a vehichle sucking is no reason to discard it as a possible event vehichle
It was still a raffle non the less, not an event vehicle, it is the same as twitch drops or similar
The starter Hueys of Japan and Italy are still way smaller and more maneuverable than the ACH-47 and they carry more rockets
As long as you know how to use the rockets it is better than whatever the ACH-47 can offer
when did they give the AB-205 a second rocket pod?? and the ACH would still have 20mms and the GL, and again a vehichle being bad is no reason to discard it as a possible event reward, and arguably makes it better as an event reward than regular tech tree, but if thats not unique enough as an event reward for you then may i suggest the chinook with a 105mm gun on it
That at least would fit a niche and could definitely be seen as a DCT vehicle, even if it had to sit at 7.7
The ACH-47 is not just bad, it doesn’t have a niche purpose and it’s not particularly unique
Judging by the Suggestion thread for the Chinook, it’s not very popular or requested either
Does it actually exist though?
It exists past gaijins standards, shortly after the Vietnam war the US army was testing a low recoil howitzer, the XM105, and at some point they mounted a pair of the 105mm variant onto a Chinook to test rapid deployment capabilities, part of the mounting was a autoloader and the ability for the Chinook to fire the gun, they test fired it from a hover and it pushed the helicopter back slightly, I know it was supposed to mount 2 but I can only confirm that 1 was tested,
Are there pictures of it?
I made a list of some interesting vehicles that could certain checkmarks for DCT in this thread earlier
Possibly? There’s diagrams of all of its parts, it’s basically just a full howitzer in a carriage because it was also designed to be dropped off of it
You need pictures or at least diagrams of what the completed vehicle would look like, otherwise it can’t really be added
There’s diagrams of the complete helicopters
We need Mistel or He-111 with V-1 missiles.
Maybe the FCM F1 for France.

Ah yes! I totally forgot about it even tho i use it daily xD It also was a DCT event, so no USSR this time if we want it square.
Yes, rhat was in my mind too, it at least looks like they want DCT to have at least one per nation.
Would be a great one! I like the Ki-64s looks!
But why do you think “this year its plane”?
Yes, i frankly forgot the KV-7 was a DCT. I thought it was new year’s one for some reason.
XD Duster with 50cal looks very funny, tho. The list looks intrresting, i find some stuff i like. But much of it looks too high of rank for that. I would love to see Enigma T-55 tho if br aint a case :3
Also a cool idea

Mistel would be cool, but only the Bf 109 + Ju 88 and Fw 190 + Ju 88 composites are real, the other ones that you might find online either never got built or are straight up fictional (Arado 234 + V-1)
If it was functional, why was it removed and replaced with a Olifant MK2/Mk1B turret?
Also the turret on the Panther II was on it when it was captured in Germany, they apparently were trying to get the vehicle combat capable due to the shortage of tanks, they were ready to throw a prototype at the enemy.
Ask the people that put a dummy turret on the Radkampfwagen 90, removed it again and put a Leo turret back on it before bringing it into storage while never bothering to actually integrate the turret
You got a source for that?
