This is a remake of a Post I had on the Old forum Looking for help finding information on Canadian Operated Prototype/Production vehicles for suggestions - Historical Discussion - War Thunder - Official Forum
Hello, I’ve been looking around for a while and I’ve been slowly collecting data and information on a few prototype/production Canadian ground vehicles I want to make suggestions on or work with somebody on making suggestions on. And I thought it would be cool to work with people on the forums to help collect and organize more information on these vehicles or simply help find more information.
So far the list of vehicles I want to suggest in no particular order are:
(Some of these are easy to find information on I just thought it would be cool to work possibly with more people on it)
Vehicles already suggested have been removed from the list please go here to see the previously suggested list: List of Previously Suggested Ideas - Other Nations Ground Forces
