The fact that the Coelian was removed for this thing which had even less existing than that did is so funny to me. Gaijin replaced fantasy with fantasy.
So you’ve completely changed what you said lmao. Because you find it boring does not mean its copy and paste.
Yet Sweden doesn’t and doesn’t exactly have many options
Sure there’s 100 different cooler things.
Idk it’s a pretty cool vehicle 🤷♀️

Kinda a shame it’s an event since it’s a pretty cool vehicle imo.
Coelian was a proven mock up so it’s under they removed it. I don’t agree with Ostwind 2 but 🤷♀️ can’t prove it’s fake lmao
Will we see appropriately sized and designed maps for vehicles like this? Because thing thing won’t be even nearly “passable” to play on any cramped maps we currently have in abundance.

So, can you share some news about the 140mm Leopard 2? As a German player, I’m really eager to get it.

As we mentioned numerous times, sufficient information isn’t currently available to introduce the O-I to the game

Thats rather subjective. Plenty of people are happy to see this. Because it doesn’t appeal to you personally, doesn’t mean others cant and wont enjoy it.

I think it’s pretty cool and other people do too, I especially love vehicles with a mix of Western and Eastern tech.

Remove the Ostwind II then. The O-I lacks documentation because the IJA burnt most of it when they surrendered.
Neither of these vehicles are “copy paste”. Unless you mean to say that you consider even unique modifications now “copy paste”. But its factually not the case.

We barely have any maps to play on with Bus sized wheeled vehicles with bad maneuverability and bad gun depression. You keep releasing small maps with no flanking options and hills.

The whole game is copy and paste now
Ostwind II had sufficient information, hence why it was introduced. Otherwise it would not have been.
Sadly that isn’t the case for the O-I right now. So without new information coming to light, its not in any foreseeable plans.

At this point I believe putting how a vehicle would differ in performance to the closest applicable vehicle in the blogs might just be able to cut down copy paste accusations a bit. (Not calling either vehicle copy paste btw).

We trialed that with the CA-27 WIP blog. Some people still called it “copy paste”.
Its all very well putting it in a blog and explaining it, if its not read or understood in the first place.

Unfortunate. The term has really been watered down by a insane amount.

Is this first vehicle ingame based on AMV Patria
(nmv forgot about CT-CV 105HP)
Would be cool to see 30mm variant for tech tree ( MCT-30)
This is a heavilly debated vehicle, Walter J. Spielberger (Gepard, The History of German Anti-Aircraft Tanks) says that the protorype was completed together with the Zerstörer 45 and moved to a training ground on Thuringia, that was destroyed by Allied bombers soon after. Hilary L. Doyle (don’t remember the exact book) says that the prototype was completed but never fitted with the twin 37mm, but there is a report of Ostbau-Sagan that a number of turrets were completed, you don’t built turrets for a vehicle that was deemed a failure, unless your name is Ferdinand Porsche. Duško Nešić goes even further and confirms that the prototype was completed and a order for 100 units was placed.
So, whe know that germany built sucessfull Flakpanzers on the Pz. IV hull (Wirbelwind and Ostwind), we know that the twin 37mm was a functional gun (3.7 cm Zwillingflak 43/44), and we know that a number of turrets for the Os. II were built, so it’s very likelly that it was a functonal vehicle that fell into the post war limbo.
With the OI were literally have a document from the Japanese army that basically says they only built ONE HULL and after testing concluded “this thing isn’t worth our time and money”
Already done it
You already did it
