King Tiger - Stars & Stripes König

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.

With all of that info added, I could definitely see the German S 35 being added! In my opinion, still not a tech tree vehicle, but definitely a cool event vehicle or limited time vehicle. Great find with all that extra information!
Edit: I also think that it could be a good addition to both trees as you mentioned.

I don’t have the H yet, but the Tiger 2 P feels better than the U.S. heavies, having both the armor of the T26E5 and the firepower of the T26E1

That’s just wrong the Pershing are equally as good

Meh. They’re amazing tanks (T26E5 is one of the only tanks I’ve nuked in) and are better in certain areas, but the Tiger 2’s combination of armor, volumetric BS, and firepower (with a good reload) simply beats out the Jumbo Pershing and Super Pershing.

You can never have too many vehicles. This would be a great event vehicle. nothing crazy so you wouldn’t be missing out if you didnt grind it, but still nice to have

Ofc u can have too many vehicles things like the tiger isn’t needed for USA

Maybe not, but it would still be cool to have as a collector vehicle. Would pair up nicely with the US Army-modified Panther II if/when that’s added

The real Panther II would be a nice addition
