… too powerful? tell me you’re joking
So what does M1 CATTB have LWS?
Yes, and for some reason, apparently a RWR.
This is the only thing between western ‘derp guns’ I’m in favor to be in-game.

it the other way around lol.
The Swiss one didn’t have any auto loader
For this then?
The one in the OP is the Swiss one though, no doubt.

Are you sure?
From what i can find, the idea was for the german one to have an autoloader, it was part of the original design however it was never implemented when they attached the turret to the hull
Maybe i’m missing something tho

Object 477 would be nice to see as well alongside these.

Yep.
The autoloader needed a redesigned turret rear. Was made by wegman and co.
It was actualy a 2AV turret (T19) modified with the autoloader.
First mounted with a 105 on a leo 1 then with the 140 on leo 2.
Yes this is a different post

Got to be honest that answer is obsolete because of the OBJ 292 being the highest kinetic pen tank in the game and its only 10.3
when the T-14 is added
i assume this was this discussed already.

thanks for the info
Would be epic to have those in the Game but i dont see someone having made a suggestion for them on the Forum
A suggestion isn’t needed, we have been told suggestions don’t actually dictate whether a vehicle will be added or not. I have been told vehicles are added based on a couple factors including demand, which wasn’t entirely true, so I don’t actually know what dictates the addition of a vehicle. All I know is, it’s unlikely we will see these for a little while, looks like this year will be another year of air focused content.

But a dedicated suggestion for each one of them would bring more attention to them, i only found out about the CATTB because of an AI Slop Video

On the old forums the CATTB did have a suggestion, and it had already been passed for consideration, so Gaijin does know about it. I was going to make a suggestion on it, the trouble I ran into was exact information on armor values (plus bad internet, can’t hardly load any of the sources). Also, a couple sources I found that had some great information required a payment to continue reading. I am not going to pay to finish a suggestion on a vehicle, which we won’t see for a long time, and will come to the game as some half baked vehicle.

I think the CATTB, Leopard 2 140, Leclerc with the 140mm Gun etc are going to be FOMO Event Vehicles like Object 292 and then only available on Marketplace and i think CATTB / Leo are going to be high demand so definitely going to cost above 100€ like Object 292 currently goes for ~170€+ on the Marketplace lol

There were 2 variants to CATTB. They were separated by “Phases” with Phase 1 being the CATTB turret on a “standard” Abrams hull (it was modified to mount CATTB turret, but same as regular M1 Abrams protection wise, still used AGT-1500). Phase 2 was the CATTB we all know, with its own hull. There is also the Thumper, which was used to test the 140mm cannon with the bustle autoloader. Pretty sure its armor protection was equivalent to a standard M1 Abrams, but I might be wrong. So we could get 3 140mm armed MBT’s for US. Make Phase 1 and Thumper as event vehicles, and Phase 2 as TT? If it was only 1 vehicle, I could understand as event, but no way they would make all 3 event vehicles.
Seeing as how most major nations have a large caliber MBT project, I think each nation should get at least one in the TT, and if they have extras either TT or event. I know Russia still has a couple large caliber MBT projects that could be added. A big concern of mine is Gaijin actually giving them the stats they showed in testing. I fear for another “marketing lie” or “propaganda” excuse to not add them in their full potential, especially CATTB.
