Missed opportunity.
The problem is that when the event is over, you will never be able to buy that thing again outside player market.
This is why if the vehicle itself is special/good at it’s BR, many people will keep it for themselves (reducing supply) and many people that skipped the event will want it,
Yep! That’s the only way Marketplace prices may increase eventually; if newer players, or players who were unaware of the event or could not grind or buy it in time want a vehicle which turns out to be good/interesting enough and the supply is limited because most people either purchased or grinded it while the event was on.
TMI man
This would tank that everyone would like.
for what ? the emil? it wasnt fully developed.
I hope it will be interesting enough as it’s the only higher tier Chinese vehicle that doesn’t have 7.1s reload.
Good thermals with armor, 3BM42 and decent mobility at 10.7 seems like a great vehicle for them.
If it got 3bm46 and went up man to 11.0 or 11.3 id love it mate.
but aye it sits nicely in the 11.0 lineup due to downtiers a lot and the 3BM42 is a pretty decent round for post pen damage and so on. The reload but sounds like not a big issue, but coming from 7.1 on literally every vehicle to a nice 6.5 and decent armour is actually such a breathe of fresh air
*Krangvagn
And it was tested, and the gun system existed, we have the R2Y2 and Ho-Ro in game :P
which i believe they said they would remove when similar vehicles of similar role are added
Ho-Ro is real, Ho-Ri isn’t
the Prototype sure.
The “Production” is pure fantasy
Both of which we have been told will.be removed as soon as theres suitable replacements.
Would not surprise me if they removed the jets soon
Let’s go i can continue playing other games
Congrats, there is nothing in the Swedish TT like the Krangvagn 🙃
In fact, we retain 0 heavy tanks in the TT
Its not really a heavy either.
Also its not something like for like.
Japan is bare bones compared to sweden.
Sweden also has the tiger 2
Congrats, Tiger II is an Event, and KV-1B is premium. They don’t have a tech tree heavy.
congrats. Your in a topic for the FV4030/3 demanding a tank that never functionally existed.
Hence the removal of the tiger 2 105 and panther 2 off the top of my head.
The planned removal of the aformentioned japanese vehicles.
Its not about sweden having a heavy mate its about sweden having a sufficient number of tanks overall.
plus the krangvang would be a higher BR than 6.7 any ways so it would be in a bracket it would be effectively a medium or useless anyway. the effective armour of its turret and what not as far as ive seen isnt even functional with the weapon system mounted.
To boot sweden literally does not need it.
would it be nice to see as event ? maybe one day, does sweden have a shed load of vehicles as it sits in game right now realistically needing an event vehicle? no.
C’mon man dont be asking for paper tanks.
Or can we get the VK Porsche version of the tiger 2 ? the E75 ; the lowe? the E50 mediums? all planned some where somewhat built and then scrapped
Its a can of worms of total nonsense that we unfortunately if want to maintain the last semblance of realism we got we cant open yet.
EDIT BTW the kranvagn is the emil.
EDIT 2 : even the documents from the swedish archives didnt know if the tank turret would function with the 105mm cannon effectively, they tested it out with the turret same idea as the ho ro ? that should be removed.
It wasnt real enough to add buddy the hull sure but the turret and weapon ssytem were never known to function effectively together.
It’s essentially just a high profile IS-3 with a bustle autoloader and a 155mm gun. IS-3 is as 7.3, and operates perfectly fine.
It is not a 155MM gun, it was tested only with 105mm and a 120mm cannon both auto fed and the turret wouldnt fit the 120 correctly with the auto loader. as per the documents in the swedish archives from what i can make out of the swedish.
as far as i can see there are only ballistic reports for the 105mm and 120 the 155mm cannon was mounted on an artillery piece.
the IS3 doesnt have a theoretical 7/ 8 second reload speed it has over 20 seconds and a 20 second reload with an ace crew.
It really isnt just a high profile IS3 with a bustle loader. It was speculated to have an oscillating turret as well as having a hybrid hydraulic electric power system.
IT was not a feesibly designed, manufactured tank, it never even entered a prototype stage before being scrapped entirely.
Edit 1 : it was also theorised, to be able to attain speeds of around 45 to 55 KMPH as its armour was more akin to a medium than a heavy such as the IS3.
It makes no sense to add a tank that basically didnt exist out with paper
No progress in technology is made by doing what everyone else is doing; see Strv 103
its design was not feesible. It was far too complicated, and much more work than was needed and required too much time, labour and materials to make it even functional never mind into service with the army.
Also no the STRV103 entered service in 1967 the emil project was cancelled when sweden copped a bunch of centurions in 1955 from Britain.
Where are you getting your information for the Emil ? as the krangvagn is essentially a type of crane in swedish and was its cover name to hide what it was
