You may call me a pain enjoying simp but i actually like the tech tree so far except that three mentioned vehicles and thats only because the lack of options if they would add other 6.0 - 7.0 vehicles it would be way less painful since your forced by the tech tree to adopt the most rat like playstyle.

3.3 gun from the first sherman. (or 3.7 for the British one which is identical)
by this logic the centurion mk2 of 6.7 is using a 2.7 gun as the 17pdr is also on valentine archer. quite stupid
you didn’t get the point did you? does the centurion have the same strongest shell as those 2.7 tanks like the jumbo’s best shell being the same as the M3 GMC’s? (M61). or does get it a brand new Shot SV Mk.1 APDS with much more pen?
a good chunk more pen for a good chunk more shell shatter. i find the APCBC just as effective, you shoot the same spots either way. not like you get a APCR which also gets a extra lift in pen either
That’s my issue with the Italian tech tree. No real good line ups. I absolutely love Italy, but man they have the most awkward BRs at low tier.
Men iam telling you i just got the Italian M47 and iam feeling so happy i would marry
that thing if i could after all that 6.7 pain.
Yea it is kinda strange that every rank in the tech tree only got one single very good tank until rank 5 from what i can tell.
Rank 2 the P40 with its nuke shell
Rank 3 the M24(i just love chaffees) arguably the Sherman Ic with its space tech pen but seriously fighting KV-1´s is way more painful then fighting Tigers in that Sherman just because of the KV-1´s sloped upper front plate
Rank 4 the M18
Personally, my BR preference coincides with Hungary. 2.7 with Zrínyi, Turan I, and other 2.7s. 4.0 with Turan III, StuG, Sherman, and M24. 10.7 with Leopard 2A4, Strela, and Ariete. 12.0 with Leopard 2A7, Ariete AMV, KF-41, and Centauro 120. Oh, and I really only spaced the Hungarian air tree
Damn id wish i could grind all those aswell soon
What about the Turan III or the Stug III? They can take on KV-1s.
Rank 3 is actually decent for Italy
3.7 - m24
3.7 - m42 Contraereo
4.0 - Turan III
4.0 M44
4.0 Stug III

Sure those are decent aswell the Turan III is the meme pyramidhead bro of the Panzer IV i liked it except its lack of explosive filler 28 g isnt that much.
I dont have the M44 but iam pretty sure i wouldnt like that machine since iam not a big fan of long reload times especially when fighting magic anti HE Soviet amour like the IS-1 and T-34´s
The Contraereo is nice for its BR but i generally suck with SPAA´s of all kind tbh.
I dont own the Italian Stug III but i remember the German one if iam not wrong they are pretty much one to one the same its a fun machine but again sadly only 28 g of explosive filler yet i dont think many people got the Italian version since you can just skip it to the 75/43M but tbh i didnt really touched that whole Italian TD section.
MMO games with lot of transactions and expensive premium stuff just move META or (playable stuff ) from one to another, that’s how the money keep coming.
Italy is not playable anymore, just few vehicles (Sagittario 2 )
It’s a Spanish one. They mixed up the things and somehow they didn’t referenced the real 105 prototype

Oh wow that guy really did some research id really would like to have an second real Italian M47 just give the old one the Spanish flag would be an nice addition in that BR range besides that we already have like five Tiger 1´s for Germany alone of which four are one to one the same just with an different paintjob.
They can also remodel the hull. It’s the standard M47 with some detail changes. But probably if they start “care” they will take the easy path and change the flag of operator county
I’m of two minds:
On the one hand players need reliable fleshed out lineups to have an impact in battle.
At the same time I think gaps in tech trees give nations character and identity.
When you consider the big push from the community to decompress the battleratings, I get the impression that many lineups willl made invalid.

It becomes a handicap that makes players NOT want to play those countries. “Character” does not at all compensate for gaps in the ability to field a full lineup.
Take Japan for example. While fielding some rank 4 vehicles in the 5.7 BR range they get to use the Sub I-II which is a decent spaa for that rank.
As the player advances further and gets to the later rank 4 vehicles in the 6.3-6.7 range they are still forced to use the Sub I-II, which can perform, albeit with more struggles.
But when the player finally advances to rank V at 7.3-7.7, they still only have the 5.3 Sub I-II as the spaa.
Japan does not get a replacement spaa until rank VI at 8.3. A gap from 5.3 to 8.3. That’s just crazy.
Gaijin needs to lean toward balance and playability and less toward “realism” since many of the lineups have tanks that never actually fought in any battles for the countries.
Just use the Howitzers with proxy fuses
That won’t work for a number of reasons.
- I’m not a fan of howitzers
- They don’t qualify for “spaa” tasks
- Japan doesn’t have any that would be useful for shooting down CAS
I don’t know, it’s the only use for G6, M109, and the funny Russian thing. Proxy round go ka-blooey
Because it’s actually a 6.3 vehicle that Gaijin in their infinite wisdom decided to move to 6.7
