Dutch M4A4 Firefly VC

WDYM mate, the French need some reinforcement on their Benelux subtree in their WW2 era.
It is extremely boring to see the Leopard 2 NL series as one of the only Benelux vehicles in the French branch.
Bordomness of Gaijin just always limits subtree as ‘copy-paste the top ranks’ :/
CV90 and Leopards…

Currently, France has only one vehicle in WW2 as Benelux subtree. M44.
and the Rest of Shermans usually already exist in the ‘French version’
(M4 105 or M4A1 can be example)
So, Firefly will be the better one for being added because French in this game doesn’t have a 17pdr gun.

Also, Fireflies will be a great addition when French lads want to assemble a 5.0BR deck
I am not sure that French lads will need both VC and IC, but at least French guys have the right to have one of these, as long as Benelux becomes a subtree of France.

‘less unique’
Aaahhh I always disliked this term.
Major mains always use this term to limit Minors from getting a new vehicle. :/

As a joke, At this rate, I am going to misunderstand the meaning of ‘unique’ as

  • ‘insufficient tech tree branch which is enough to be easily stomped by us’

Well, the British have unique domestic early jets in a 7.0-8.3BR radius but nearly nothing is playable but constantly will stomped by F-86s
And not allowed to get CL-13 Mk.4 which is directly bought from Canada because ‘it will make tree less unique’ :/
CL-13 problem is quite out of topic though.

Negative, an easy add to the BeNeLux tech tree

France has the SA50 sherman. Besides, there’s BeNeLux vehicles that could be added that aren’t copy paste, including unique sherman modifications.

M4A4 SA50 =/= Sherman Firefly.
Fireflies can throw shells at a faster rate than SA50 does.

Well, I did a quick search about suggestions with Benelux Sherman
And I think nearly none will fit into your standard.

‘Unique Sherman modification’… Do you mean the M4A1E8 one?
well, I don’t dislike that Idea too but why not both?

Giving both VC and IC Firefly might be overkill but Single of them won’t hurt much.

Again, the SA50 is different, but it serves the same purpose. If we don’t need copy paste to patch a hole, then it shouldn’t be added.

Do you count smokes?

I prefer VC hull on Firefly (Just for cosmetics) but I am also fine with this idea as long as it is a Firefly, and Benelux vehicle which can cover the WW2 era too.

will those dozer blades be detachable in the game?
It looks cool but will also impact the thrust ratio.
