As has been mentioned by some other people, the only criteria for adding the Stingray to the US tech tree is that it was manufactured by an American company, and as such, it feels extremely unfair that Germany is not getting the KF41 Lynx, given its manufactured by a German company.
Germany is already getting very little this update (at least as shown on the teaser and seen on the dev server) so even a copy-paste would be a big upgrade.
I play all nations, so i really dont think i qualify as a “german main”.
Either way if its a “shit trashcan” (which it isnt, at least in my experience) then why not add it? Personally i just think its neat and it would be kinda bs if the US got the Stingray but Germany didnt get the Lynx, given its an identical situation (both added primarily as a subtree vehicle with neither in service with the country that makes them).
i mean im pretty sure the actual criteria is that the american tech tree had a gap that could be filled, anything else is just whatever gaijin says to make it sound reasonable
and notably germany already has the puma VJTF which fills the exact same role as the kf41 so gaijin is in zero rush to add the kf41 to germany
If stingray can be added at the same time for both thailand, it sole operator, and us why not add kf41 to germany, kf41 addition to germany will not only giving its 11.0 somewhat a line up, but also can be used as a precedent when kf51 is added to the game
And as i feel that can be really soon, with Gaijin race for hipe.
Also this stated in kf-41 devblog:
“First, we’d like to let you know that we plan to introduce the KF41 in the upcoming “Sons of Attila” major update for Hungary as they are the first (and currently only) operator of the vehicle. Its addition to the Hungarian line does not entirely rule out its future addition to the game in other forms, but for the Sons of Attilla update there are no plans to introduce a KF41 for Germany. The version coming to the game is the unique serial production for Hungary specifically. Germany still has a lot of potential vehicles left to add, with the possibility of some KF variants down the line. The main reason for its introduction this update is to be the main top of the line vehicle for the Hungarian subtree, as it’s a unique production vehicle for them. The PUMA variant with Spikes is not the current model we have in game, and is again something that’s possible in the future for Germany.”
I’m sorry, you right.
The first batch (25) KF-41 lynx were produced in Germany and the rest are built in Hungary.
But still, it’s a uniqe configuration for Hungary. German main could ask for the prototype
I am stating for unique versions like prototype for Germany or denied by Australia kf-41 version. I really want more unique vehicles (and version for nations in game)
The Stingray is a US-designed vehicle and must be present in its own TT, just as the KF-41 and G-91/R3 must be present in the TTs of the nations that designed them, but at this point I believe that the Class 3 (P) must also be present in the British TT.
VT-4 tank for export that China didn’t even use it still can be in Chinese TT
US can get it stingray, and they never use it as well
yet god forbid German export like KF-41 and Leopard 2A6EX for German
Heh that sound fair.
