King Tiger - Stars & Stripes König

Barring the USSR T70 and German F-20 suggestions I can’t really think of anything that fits that description (also the Pantsir S1E for USA is positive by some margin).

Meanwhile I’ve seen suggestions for the Tiger 2, T-34-88, Type 95, Centauro and Sd.kfz. 234/4 for USSR all have majority negative votes. USA isn’t some special victim

Im specifically referring to the ones where its the USA->anyone else pipeline.
Look at all the ones where its American tanks going to Germany/USSR and they are all over 50% yes.
I have yet to find a majority no voted suggestion for an American tank to go to another nation.

Theres even a civil war going on in a thread about Japan over in [machinery of war] about how the US shouldn’t have the Stingray despite building and designing it because they consider the US one to be the copy-paste and not the Japanese one.

I’ve looked at the suggestions and found only the M4A3 and M3 for Germany to be unmodified and positive (they do use German ammo though).

As for USSR, it’s nothing new with the lend lease or war prizes. Yes there’s quite a few American equipment but there’s also positive vote suggestions for FT17, Mark V, Churchill, Matilda, Spitfire, Valentine, Mk 2 medium, Universal carrier and a noticeable amount of German vehicles.

From what I’ve seen, it was more that the USA tested a different model than the Thai one, so correcting that make it more unique for both trees because as it stands, the USA stingray re-uses the Thai model. I haven’t seen anyone ask it to be removed from the USA tree.

Honestly no… America has no need for a tiger II, 6.7 USA is already full of very powerful tanks, there’s no need for a king tiger, -1

See, now that would be pretty neat. Making it an event premium could allow Gaijin to maximize the content they could add around the things story. It’s a cool tank overall, and despite the controversy the removal of the side armor gets, it was realistically either they removed the armor or the US Army would have scrapped it, as they saw little to no value in keeping a Tiger II around for anything other than taking up valuable space.

does Kingtiez do anything but copypaste vehicles to make the game situation worse? -1

I do, I find leased and captured gear interesting, if you don’t like it then simply mute or don’t read my posts, I have many more coming.

it’s interesting in historical point of view but it’s not fun for games

That’s your opinion

The cope from the German mains is so funny. So it’s okay for them to have stuff they captured but no one else can have their stuff, riiiight. Next up should be the Soviet Captured StuG or the SG-122.

Captured vehicles that were modified are really cool and should come but things that are just unmodified and broken as seen here shouldn’t ever be considered to come

I am part of that civil war. It really shouldn’t be the Thai configuration stingray in the US tree.

Honestly wondering how Kingtiez manages to dig up information on tanks just for them to get dumped in to trash by most of the community because it is copy paste.

Vehicles like the king tiger in american and British testing were well documented it’s not too hard to find them

Yeah I just find it funny how he manages to find information on example the Russian one. (or many other vehicles, this is just an example though)

The German S.35 actually has some small modifications to warrant making it a separate vehicle. The changes vary a bit for each individual vehicle, but the cupola was often shortened and had a two-part hatch added. Many also received German radios and antennas. They also had spare tracks added on the UFP fairly often.

Additionally, the S.35’s in German service received a lot of different camouflage schemes, some of which are pretty cool. It would be a disservice to limit this Beutepanzer to just one skin. If anything, it should be the German S.35 that gets a French skin. There are instances of the German modified S.35’s being recaptured by French resistance during liberation. Alternatively, the recaptured S.35 could be a low rank squadron vehicle for the French, added alongside the German counterpart. Either way, it makes more sense to have a new visual model created to represented the German S.35s, regardless of if they are in the French or German tree.

S.35 with some zimmerit. This might not look good as a 2D skin, but I’ll include it here none the less.

I think the best way to add the German S.35 would be in a 4 vehicle premium pack, that would have an entire 1.3 line-up of modified French vehicles, filling all major roles. As mentioned prior, it could also be added in the French tree as a Rank 1 squadron or premium vehicle.

I spend a lot of time researching the vehicles I suggest, though I will admit I have made some mistakes on a few of them.
When it comes to them being “dumped” I don’t care I’m very good at taking criticism, if I wasn’t I would stop making them, it doesn’t affect me in the slightest nor does it affect if they come or not as we’ve seen many times.

Ditto here! I currently have a couple of ideas kicking around for a few similar vehicles; not sure if they’d be viable, but we’ll see. That said, have you thought of making a suggestion for Tiger 131? It would be a neat tank to see in-game, all things considered.

US 6.7 might b e better then Germany 6.7 when it comes to heavies.
