Duplicate Vehicles: Why We Add Them

Its fun, if theres a historical match making, not stuff like German Reich and Israel vs NATO+USSR thing, i agree that it’s need a modified version, the Soviet tried to mount a 85mm on a Panther but what we got was a basic Panther that uses shell the Soviet don’t even make.

Another thing is command tanks, stuff like Bfw Jagdpanther don’t belong here, unless we can call the entire SS Panzer Division off map to reinforce the team

Genuinely what gap did the M44 fill?

Never left paper. They also tried it with the tiger with a 85 and 100mm…

The Soviets captured large numbers of German ammo later in the war and often the doctrine for captured tanks was run them until they break or had no ammo

True, but we got Ho-Ri, a People’s Republic of China T-34/76 despite that it was never sent but claimed to be, then there’s a Republic of China M36 despite the original being M36B2.

They’ve said many times it’s not removed since Japan
doesn’t have something to fill its gap.

Can you claim for 1000% for sure that it wasn’t delivered (it probably was) and then you can bug report anything if you believe it’s wrong

Its not, never delivered, the People’s Liberation Army gets bunch of T-34/85 and IS-2 just like the North Korean, T-34/76 by then was deprecated. These tanks that were allegedly sent to China in 1943 would be nonsense, Mongolia has no infrastructure to send it to, and People’s Liberation Army during Second World War was mostly confined in the Shaanxi region which is surrounded by the Warlord clique of Yan Xishan and Ma Bufang whose loyalty rest to the Koumintang.

So again there’s no certain proof it was never delivered. And again make a suggestion or bug report if you believe something is wrong

Many people in CN community and RU community already made a suggestion but you know how it ends up.

I’d like to pass a message from @Grzegames about this topic:

Personally, as someone who is generally a big supporter of seeing other nations like Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia in this case being represented here, I still think that this issue he brought up is a very important one that right now affects nearly all nations to some extent.

With the limited available techtree space, especially when shared with other nations within said tree, it seems near impossible to achieve the stated goal of keeping unique and significant vehicles within the techtrees. Eventually the space will run out, making it impossible to add certain vehicles outside of the premium section, and with duplicate vehicles being much easier to add, they will be quicker at taking the available space.
Unique and unconventional vehicles, whether intentional or not, will be negatively affected by this.

I could go on about my own idea for a solution, but that isn’t the point here. I think what is needed, not just for Grzegames or me, but all players, is a proper statement on how the developers plan to address this issue going forward.

Stona, please find me where this is mentioned in the original post that added the M44 self-propelled guns and link it.
All you are doing is posting what you wrote in this thread.
Not what was written in the thread that introduced the M44.
The Hummel clearly wasn’t on the list. Otherwise, it would have been alluded to, but it was not, and many of us are and were pointing this out.

has a radar pod

has better thermals
my point is that no-ones complain about them because TT counterparts exist and copy paste is the best for premiums

Amen. I still want to see the

Type 92 Armored Car with its 13mm. Which wouldn’t be difficult to add cause Italy got something similar.

Or the Type-4 Ka-Tsu. Something else I’d love to see be usable in both Naval and Ground battles.

Pretty sure tanks with only MGs aren’t allowed due to their lack of firepower

M2A2 is in game, so that’s at least one that contradicts that statement

It is fair to say that about 30% of the 3,500 vehicles in this game are copy-paste, and that is a seriously high number. It would be somewhat tolerable if unlocking a vehicle once provided a 50% RP discount for its duplicate in another tech tree. However, coupled with the lack of game mode variety and the sheer difficulty of researching vehicles, having to grind the exact same vehicles again in different trees really drives a lot of people away from the game.

I genuinely believe that if research was buffed and the overall grind was made easier, the player base would actually increase. Most players simply don’t have the time to research 3,500 vehicles anyway. Only the veterans who have been playing non-stop for a very long time have all the tech trees fully unlocked, and they make up a very, very small fraction of the community. It is incredibly sad to be in a situation where we still struggle to research vehicles even with a premium account and premium vehicles.

I am sure it saddens many players like myself to see a game one with such incredible potential for featuring unique niche vehicles and exciting new game modes devolve into something that feels entirely focused on grinding and selling premium vehicles.

That’s literally it and as far as it goes it seems to of been a test vehicles proving they aren’t fit for the game.
