5.0 while the premium excelsior is 4.0? It has worse armor and APDS while good is only 57 mm and wont have good post pen damage. That would be 4.0
It would probably be an american or british premium event vehcile, or a battle pass vehicle.
i feel like the Excelsior in game is under tiered, and i say that AS a British main.
The 6 pounder even without the APDS, has MORE penetration, and a faster reload than the 75mm. And if it goes to the Americans and the Brits, it can be given the American 57mm APHE. Which its self is MEAN as hell. See the chaos a Boarhound can cause.
The APDS would just be for killing harder targets, as it SHOULD be able to punch through a Panthers UFP pretty easily. i mean the most famous use of the 6 pounder APDS is it being used to frontally KO a Jagdpanther when even a 17pounder couldn’t punch a hole with its APCBC.
the skink should never have gone to America.

but why? it was a Canadian Development, for the US army, on a Sherman Hull, using American Made 20mm guns.
blatantly incorrect
Designed for the canadian army, on a grizzly hull, using POLISH DESIGNED BRITISH BUILT polsten 20mm guns, the same guns that appear on many other British AA vehicles and was planned to be the machine gun on centurion.
It was used by the 21st army group which was britsh and British Canadian troops, zero relation to the US beyond the American produced parts for the skink hull, everything else was Canadian.
Canada isn’t the united states nor are they joint owned by Britain and the US so copying it over to the americans was stupid

Canada isn’t British either. And the 21st army group had American forces as well.
you do realize the grizzly hull is just a M4A1 licensed copy with minor modifications

its engine is american made too
odd looking flag there. That flag totally doesn’t mean that the people under it were British citizens or anything, or that Canada and the UK share a monarch still
by war thunders standards that makes it more unique than most addtions

kinda would be cool to add the grizzly to britain or america it be another good medium option
still very american would be better if it had colts instead of what ever those are belt fed is so much better
yea nah im not claiming the shot gimel or soviet matilda for Britain because its mostly British built stuff (actually far more of it than there’s American parts on skink)
a licenced production vehicle to another country doesn’t mean it should just be thrown into the American tree either, Canada is British at the time and still very not a 51st state.
it was planned to have hispano 20mms but because of the need to put hispanos into fighters they went for the polsten as it was the next best available thing

such a claim is not the way to go mate. trust me that would get very messy and not in favour of the US at all.
no its more like Britain demanding a CV90 or bradley because BAE systems, a British company makes them.
or something more stupid germans demanding the British version of the Eurofighter for PIRATE.

id love a replacement to be added it be nice skink is kinda bad
i must admit if any british vehicle was to be stolen and put into the US tree it would be skink because its really really crap, the polstens magazine size and velocity just is not good enough for 5.3, if it was 4.7 it would have been ok, but British tax means it must be overtiered into irrelevancy
Americans were British citizens…
Doesn’t matter. The monarchy has been defunct in both nations for a long time, even more so in Canada. Canada has its own constitution.
Also, fun fact, this is the state flag of Hawaii:
until 1716 yes. All members of the British Empire was considered British citizens, people in British overseas territories still are to this day.
not true
a written constitution =/= republic, just because the UK has no written constitution doesn’t mean that’s the rule to what is a kingdom.
literally the first thing after the preliminary of the constitution act is that the constitution is a declaration under the crown.
the crown is also in the same position as it is in the UK, the head of parliament.
The union flag was chosen by the natives of Hawaii to honour the British, the only time the union flag appearing doesn’t mean its a colony/dominion/dependancy

Yes, now apply that to Canada. Canadians symbolically recognize the monarchy, but the monarchy holds no power.
I refer to my previous statement. The Dominion of Canadas constitution
the crown reserves the right to dissolve the house of commons (however not the senate) in Canada.
the crown can has executive power over parliament too so can pass whatever law he/she deems right.
exactly the same as in the UK.
In law the king is not a symbol but the literal head of state.
