Alright, let’s see how many matches a “popular” wheeled vehicle with an autocannon gets. I bet it will have at least half as many battles as any other event MBT in the first month after release.
Thats not correct. Im also directly reffering to those specifically that are not.
This is your personal opinion. Not a fact.
Thats not the primary purpose of events. Nor the sole metric to judge a vehicles popularity or success. Hence why your outcome is skewed here.
You dont have to if you wish. Im here to provide the facts and stop false narratives for others. You are free to your own personal opinion. Please do not however claim to speak for everyone.

Its not no.
AMOS is probably impossible due to its gun.
It’s you who doesn’t want to, not the others! I’m just as interested in wheeled vehicles as I am in tanks.

No it shouldn’t off.
It is a fairly unique vehicle with no TT equivalent. I will always maintain that premiums and events should be as close to copy paste as possible. Player parity is very important to me. People who start playing later than us, or who play on console and can’t even access the market, should not be at a disadvantage compared to players like you and me.

Because it’s prototype with a big gun lmao. It’s literally perfect event material. No other nation has large caliber guns.
That’s kinda how some events are lmao 🤷♀️ and it’s not much better then l55 dm53. It’s just a fomo vehicle.
When vickers mk7/2
Btw could this come to Germany as well at some point as it was jointly developed like df105 or any similar vehicle?
Spoiler
Pure cope lmao I don’t expect a yes
We also know the Ostwind II wouldnt have the guns the way it have them ig. But it would have them on top of each other,not next.
Except there are several upgunned NATO MBT prototypes that qualify for addition (like the Thumper). What, are they all gonna be event vehicles and screw newer players who don’t get to try an MBT with a big donkey APFSDS? Or, are you gonna put some of them in the TT, creating an imbalance where some nations have access to a TT upgunned MBT while others have theirs locked behind events?
I am aware. And there is an obvious commercial interest in doing things like this. Which is why I ground out the 292 at the time of the event. But understanding it does not mean we have to like it, since it’s pretty anti-consumer as a tactic.
… is not a good practice that should be defended.

A great addition, but do we really need vehicles like this?
They could have brought back an IS-7 with a different turret/mounting configuration, based on an earlier version of the vehicle before the final model. Or they could have introduced some kind of bunker buster, which could potentially be represented in-game as a tank destroyer, like the T-95 we have in the American tech tree.
If every event that comes along only offers unarmored wheeled vehicles at a BR where they’re practically unsustainable to play, then it becomes really difficult to support events that you would only complete to collect the vehicle in your account and nothing more…
That being said, the vehicle itself is interesting! But I feel there was a lack of willingness to choose better and more unique options to offer the community. And I’m sure there were some much more interesting options on the table, judging by what I’ve seen being shared on the community forums.
i feel like the Stridsfordon 9040 Skjutrigg would have been a better event vehicle :P
the AMV is still cool to see tho
The fact is that MBTs are the most popular vehicle class in GRB (at top tier, naturally), and you should be giving them top priority when selecting event vehicles. Looking at your rewards, though, it feels like the only things left in the world are wheeled vehicles and autocannon light tanks.

Scimitar and EFV aren’t wheeled. And there’s a million autocannon vehicles lmao.
Hopefully, and I think I’m asking too much for a good vehicle, this is a post-2004 turret with improved anti-tank guided missile loading mechanism, a way better improvement compared to the 1987-model we currently have in-game for the BMP-3 platform. If the intention was to add a UAE vehicle, which I doubt, it’s a Patria (platform currently in-game) with a Bakhcha-U turret (turret that also is present on the BMD-4M2); the tech demonstrator combining a improved BMP-3 chassis with better protection and a DVK-30 remote turret could’ve been considered instead because this would be a much more interesting vehicle in comparison to this Frankeinstein Monster you guys pulled out of the oven when compared to the F-16XL:
But I can’t be complaining too much. Thank God, Gaijin lords allowed our poor souls to only 35,000 points per star on this—mediocre—vehicle, I have no doubt that someone will prove me wrong that it has a different commander sight model, or ammo options, maybe, but regardless at the end of the day is a Patria with a Bakhcha-U turret, and even given that Bakhcha-U is a heavy improvement and even we didn’t see a faster ATGM loading mechanism in the BMD-4M2, I heavily doubt, to a point that I can’t see, this one won’t be different and will be stuck with the >10-seconds to load the ATGM. The Patria AMV (Bakhcha) seems to be a interesting event vehicle, Sweden was needing but I wasn’t expecting this to be a UAE vehicle from Finland to Sweden, it’s too much steps when you could’ve worked on the UDES-XX 20 instead that would be a reason for you guys to work on improving trailers and alikes.
Although the chances are low to an actual à la Object 292 type of content that bring something unique, in that case the first of a handful of prototypes for a 152-mm main battle tank during the late-Cold War, I still hope that the developers will notice, they probably do, and add actually cool ground event vehicles, but I guess they won’t. Hopefully this scraping the bottom of the barrel will end either because of communitys’ feedback or you guys runs out of copy the asset from one vehicle and but in another.

TAM was designed and built by Rheinstahl AG / sub-division; Henschel Wehrtechnik, later (post aqusition/merge in 1976) Thyssen Henschel (later under license by TAMSE).
All other equipment used was also developed and deliviered (or built under license by argentina) by german companies;
MTU (engine), RENK (transmission) , ZEISS (optics and fire control systems), FMW (Gun-Drives), Rheinmetall [Rh 105-30 upgrade kit for 105mm cannons + entire guns for initial production-runs], Diehl (Tracks) and a couple others…
Thus the addition to germany certainly makes sense in many ways, even if upgraded versions like TAM 2C and 2IP are arguable.
I meant that lately Gaijin has been adding either wheeled vehicles or some kind of autocannon carriers (including tracked ones) to events. To be honest, it’s getting really tiring to deal with this.

It looks to me like the 2k23, it also have the old gunner’s sight with the PPN-D, maybe they add the sodema as a modification like on the bmp3
