Now the fun couldn’t be equally shared amongst the player base
They added it?
Yeah 1k GE

At the very least there’s the BMP-2MD as a squadron but it’s still a drop in an ocean
I won’t look at 2-3 vehicles being a victory in a pool of mediocrity, that’s a disgrace and pathetic excuse of a win.
It’s clear the devs have no interest in Finland outside of seeing how much money they can get people to pay for their unique equipment

I can agree with that. I’m still livid about the Zsu-57-2M not being added alongside literally any of the other unique vehicles.
I genuinely wish this game was just a single upfront payment if it ment not having to deal with events and cool stuff being premium.
Also wasn’t there a Zsu-57-2 with an additional machine gun in the turret? I saw on source mention it but nothing else.

Definitely a good thing for become premium. Only one, and not their original vehicle.

Though the tree lacks a solid 3.0 bridge filler for the Finnish line which this would’ve filled given the 3.0 lineup is pretty mediocre

I don’t know. I agree that it’s a unique vehicle and that affords it a different status. But it’s also the only vehicle that fills the gap early in the Finnish tech tree. I’m kind of torn, to be honest.

Probably not the ONLY vehicle; the domestic Finnish T-28E, ISU-152V, and BAF C w/95hp engine come to mind, although these are all sub-3.0 material.

The T-28E could kind of work. But I’d still like to have something more 3.0 worthy. And I also really wanna play the T-50 Nikki without paying for it.

Pretty much every Finnish captured vehicle was modified to some degree before putting them back into service. The Finnish T-34 for example should look like this, with new headlights, stowage, and Finnish AP as well as HEAT shells. That’s without mentioning the various more significantly modified T-34s that were in service as well
EDIT: Didn’t notice when I posted, that’s Niki in the background :D

There’s a couple of minor T-26 variants. They had to make due with whatever was captured, so you end up with lots of conversions and Frankenstein tanks.
There is an up-armored one example that could be added at 1.3 in the tree.
Some flame tanks were converted into conventional tanks. The turret placement differs from the regular T-26, and I believe they feature a 4th crewmen.
T-26 with an early BT-5 turret, distinguished by the shape of bustle compared to early T-26’s.
There are some other less interesting T-26’s too, combining parts from earlier or later variants; whatever was on hand to make it combat worthy.
The problem here is that none of these are radical enough of an improvement over a regular T-26 to really fill out the sub-tree in any meaningful way.

Yes, these are all nice and I’d love to see them since the Finnish T-26E is a premium, but I was trying to think of non-copy paste options that could fill the gap between the T-28 and T-34. I also realized that the existing BA-11 we have now is 1.3, so even with the 95hp engine I don’t see the BAF C being any higher than 1.7, which rules out that option.
I guess we could maybe justify the Pz.IV at 3.3 by removing the turret schurzen and APCR but even then I know there are many who think the long barreled Panzer IVs should be going up in BR, which I do also agree with.
