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?!

You’d better not caught complaining about when they are picking “relevant” vehicle when it’s almost guaranteed to be copy-paste, just like the premium T-34 we got on VE day event.
for a LVT with a hellcats head grafted onto it? that wasn’t even there?
this is gonna be like the most vulnerable tank in the game lmao its huge

It should have been the IS-3
I feel like a lot more can be done with a ‘’ Normandy ‘44 Event’’ opposed to literally nothing being done with it, can’t even call it an event.
Paper thin armor (6mm) + huge empty internal space = trolly survivability
And despite it’s huge size it’s still very fast, and to go with that you have the stabilizer

I like that T-34-85
Hot take: I actually prefer the copy paste event stuff to represent certain army groups or pilots as they allow the unique stuff to not be time locked or force a kings ransom to unlock it.

All you have to do is play the game??? It isn’t even a grind when you can easily complete it by just playing normally.
