King Tiger - Stars & Stripes König

-1 NO COPY PASTE ITS UNNEEDED SLOP

if it’s because we need lineup filler, have three ideas off the top of my head

  • T30E1(T30 heavy with assisted loading)
  • T29E3(T29 with optical rangefinder “ears”)
  • T26E6 Pershing

so many American vehicles we could add instead

same reason as i said before will ruin the point of playing other nations imagine of all nations have IS-3 / IS-2 why would i grind USSR / other nations.

+1 only if historical matching making with no copy past.

yeah theres already very many indigenous American tank designs like that and prototypes they could add this is unnecessary

ruining germanys unique tanks for premium tanks gotta be my least favorite thing people like to do on these forums

cause in no way would gaijin add this to a tech tree it be added just like Tigris or kunigs tiger which was already something dumb

T29E3

I’d love to see this

it gets cool rangefinder so you can use it at range

It’s a mechanical one I think

yea like Panther F

The T29E3 was exactly what I was thinking of. That and the T43 (M103’s prototype) with the experimental shells that it didn’t quite enter service with. (I do not have the time to do enough research to gather all the materials to make a suggestion for that though.)

I’m torn in between yes and no. I would vote no if it was proposed to come as a tech tree vehicle or a GE vehicle. The US has one of the strongest 6.7 line ups in my opinion. I would say yes if it came as an optional skin/camouflage for the existing tiger 2 or if it was a event vehicle or a limited purchasable vehicle like the T 34 prototype and German Sherman.

A +1 from me on this one. It has at least an interesting enough history, and it would be a neat premium.

Though that said, I do think Tiger II (280243) 332 would be an even more interesting premium. Now that one has an utterly awesome story to it, a single Sherman captured it after firing a star shell at the II from the front. It freaked out the German crew, who panicked and fled when they saw the Sherman rolling up. The Sherman’s commander then decided to split his crew and reuse the Tiger II to sneak up on German defensive lines and hopefully knock out a Tiger or two. Regretably for him, he was unable to find any additional German armor, and eventually, the tank ran out of fuel and had to be abandoned. The tank was recovered a few weeks later and still survives in the US Army Armor and Cavalry Collection. One cool feature is that it has had its side armor removed for Armor training, so you can see inside.

That’s kinda the idea of capturing a vehicle…

In my opinion, I think that would be a much better example of a vehicle to be added. I’m not saying that the initial suggestion is bad, just the story behind it is really darn cool for the tiger 2 that you mentioned. That being said, I could only see it being added as a limited time event vehicle that can only return in the gambling crates or a limited purchase. If it was in the format of event vehicle, maybe a loading screen, maybe it could show the picture that you showed with the tiger 2 slightly disassembled to show the interior! Or the loading screen can show the Sherman approaching the tiger 2 with the crew running out.

And without modification they have no place in wt imo

That’s your opinion not an actual rule lol any vehicle can be suggested as long as it has a gun, theoretically you can suggest a Jeep with a .1911 as it’s main armament, actually I might do that one…

Your entitled to your own opinion though

Ofc it can be suggested I just don’t believe anything of the unmodified captured vehicles should come they have no place and being nothing to major trees like the USA and ussr there’s no need for a king tiger when there’s plenty of other unique heavy tanks available
