OK dude, whatever. You message me whenever we “go back”.
Fact is few modern tanks have fought against other modern tanks. So your game is based on next to nothing, yet we have so many armchair experts with no frame of reference telling Gaijin how wrong they are all the time.
It’s a lot easier to load these into a C-17 or I believe a C-130 and put them somewhere fast than an M1. If I recall correctly the requirements were for them to be able to be loaded combat capable, but not air-drop. Meaning they can drive off the runway and do their job instead of going straight to a depot for outfitting. This gives airborne troops mobile protected firepower which can be used to deal with emplacements or possibly vehicles. It’s not meant to be a tank killer, it’s meant to be a big mobile multipurpose gun. They can’t just preposition tanks all over the world, like they did in Europe during the cold war.
It’s place in game is as a high tier light tank. It’s got enough gun to deal with tanks, and all the support tools the LT class gives it. It’s the US tree’s 2S25M, which is already in game. It has a place.
American want to retire M1128, but you need something that has a big gun and can be squeezed into a plane. So, here comes M10 booker.
This and it’s rival(the other competitor in the program which I forgot the name of) could both be added could make the one that lost a premium
The competitor is BAE’s modern M8, which we already had 2 in game, XM8 and CCVL.
They don’t have the camp nets though
When removed it’s more familiar.
Suggestion passed to the developers for consideration.
