It’s an APC is it not? Also, I hope you realize the M59 is literally the M113’s dad, and to reiterate:
You’re basing your statements on whether it’s useful or not, well, duh, it’s not gonna be. It’s just meant to be something to have fun with and to get as a collectible, same as the OS2U. The whole idea of it is that it’s just something interesting to use, and it looks cool, nothing more.
You bring absurdium to the table by merely relying on this 1.0 statement you made before…
It’s not that weak, and your drive to make out that it is makes it clear you’re only being a dip about this suggestion.
It can easily be made a light tank, given scouting and be a decent addition. It doesn’t need to be rank 1, or 1.0/0.5 as you put it.
Because it carries a 20mm cannon…
+1 for the funny box.
Personally I disagree with the .50cal variant, However I wouldn’t mind seeing it anyways as more M113 variants would be nice considering there is a version of the M113 with the M47 Dragon that could be added.
Main issues I see are it being something like the M1A1, not the MBT but the light tank that’s at 1.0 that has similar armaments. Which means there is already something like it in the game.
It can come when infantry is added, but right now .50 as main gun is not good and will be place at 1.0
Yeah honestly I see it more as just something to be used for the fun of it and that’s why I suggested it be added as something to unlock once you reach a certain rank (plus it can float and that’s one of the main reasons I suggested this one specifically since anything heavier wouldn’t be given its ability to float), but other than that It could very easily have its model reused to add more m113 varients to the game. But to go along with what @Make_a_wish_kid said, yeah, if infantry gets added, it would be perfect for that, since that’s its job.
that’s a fair point, but the m1a1 cant float :)
Perhaps it could even be used as a resupply vehicle so that it can resupply ammo to your teammates. Also, I think it would be more suitable at 2.0-3.0 if it gets any of those abilities, and also because it can still kill things like light tanks if it gets the drop on them. But yeah, it’s useless. I know it’s why I suggested it be added the way I did, so that it doesn’t force someone to research it to progress.
And for all we know, if it’s added, it could be given access to all its historical weaponry as modifications:
Recoilless cannons? Sure, BGM-71 Tow launcher? Duh, that was an important part of its requirements, just the .50? Sure, the options are limitless with this since it’s just the base variant.
M113 with a .50 as a main is a no for me aswell due to the battlerating it would sit at and the general use for it.
But i would love to see a lot of other M113 variants with better weapons such as small to medium cannons or recoilles rifles tho.
The only real way these more modern vehicles end up in the game is if Modern/Cold war vehicles were their own researchable section, separate from Interwar and WWII vehicles. Such a thing is very unlikely but it’s the only good way I could see these kinds of vehicles being implemented.
just 50
Well, with the SLAP-round it’s basically a German 20mm, so we could put it at 2.0. :p
indeed, perhaps a researchable bgm-61 though.,mnhugyjfhtgklnjbkhjvb h , oh dam I just legit started like chioking, and no I will not edit that furthur than this.
Finally a worthy opponent for french low tier tanks
+1 if we somehow get a br centered around similar vehicles
Right now? I don’t want to see this. With just a .50 cal and no other new abilities it’s going to be a 1.0.
If Gaijin ever add APC/IFV carrying infantry or something then it might work at a higher BR.
does he know?
was before it was officially announced, but no he does not lol.
My post was before the announcement. Lol.
I’d prefer this not be added, at least not to the regular vehicle game modes, unless it has the TOW.
While it technically could be added to the low ranks without much balance concern, it breaks the immersion of interwar and WW2 centric eras when there are already a dozen other 50cal armed vehicles from the interwar era yet to be added. Ik that not everyone cares about immersion, but I certainly do.
If the infantry game mode goes somewhere, and Gajin decides to expand it to post-war era, then this would be a fine addition that serves a more clear purpose, but for now, I’d just prefer it not be added (unless it gets the TOW).
