What an ugly vehicle, and it’s just another M18 in the game. I’m not even going to waste my time with this event.
boat!

A stabilised amphibious m18

That’s subjective :)
It’s a unique model, and stabilized.

The suggestion page for the T86 says its as thin as 6mm in some places.
Gaijin pls make it get a huge dent in the armor every time you bump a tree.

This is great. Exact what we want from event vehicles. Unique or unique, meaningful modifications of vehicles.
Good event vehicles: object 292, T86 boat, IAR93, marut, F14IRIAF (perfect example of unique modification) and Kfir C.10 (again, unique meaningful modification)
Bad event vehicles are just pointless bloat, FR.9 meteor could have just been added to the tech tree in a filler update, dont make us grind 30000 points and waste an event slot on it.

Should be pretty much the same. Hunnicutt says it had a maximum speed of 5.2 mph (8 km/h) in water. The design objective was 7.5 mph (12 km/h).
Darn it, I was expecting some speedy boys in water at some point.
I’ve got exams and a visit to a relative in another country during the event period, there’s absolutely no way I’m finishing this
Maybe they will add Type 05 amphibious fighting vehicle at some point
It has 30km/h speed in water 0_0
We do images for event vehicles in their dedicated dev blogs that we publish on the day of the event starting.

So for the Normandy event we got a vehicle that didn’t participate in the Normandy landings?

A slower, less armoured, bigger M18.
Stabilized though. Very cool event vehicle but not the right vehicle for this event. Events centered around a historical event or battle should have vehicles relevant to that event or battle.

To be honest, I’m surprised that this isn’t just a M4 Sherman with some logs on it and sandbags and “Hell on wheels” marking. I’m feeling that we’re reaching a point of in fact good event and unique vehicles.
Call of the Dragon and the Object 292, from words of a few members of the community has no sense as the event started in the Chinese New Year, and as I said, it’s a good vehicle for this event as it’s not a just M4 Sherman with some stuff on it.
I was expecting the M4 Sherman Crab, but I don’t know what this vehicle could bring to the game and even if the spinning chains would give in advance but less turret rotation limits and speed overall.
I generally agree but in this case I’m fine with it. Honestly, how many actually unique D-day vehicles are left to add? Ones that are suitable for this game I mean. I can only name the DD-Sherman, but that’s about it. Maybe a flail tank, but it wouldn’t bring anything useful.
I’d like to see the DD Sherman added to the game at some point, but with actually working flotation screens (key-bind to raise/lower them) That’s a new mechanic they’d need to add and it would take some work.
Two unique event vehicles in a row thats not top tier trash?
Csn we please keep this trend going?!
