LOL, cope, read it for yourself

any typos are entirely on the USA military employing illiterates, not me

Only because the US entered the war in 1941 and the earlier oil restrictions heavily limited the Japanese. Also the UK retreated from Burma and only came back later after the US fought there lol.

The US has not “shafted” Australia, if you want to talk about that look at the garbage Eurocopter Tiger and NH-90

Yes, how absurd of me to want US tanks to stay in the US tree. No main of any other tree has ever said that ever.

“Prepared for” not “equipped with”

The empire hasn’t won a war it wasn’t bailed out of in the last 100 years.

The amount of hair splitting you’re doing is fun. Military wouldn’t “prepare it” at the manufacturing level if it was not going to be a kit they’d use.

Sounds modular, so they can remove it if they dont need it for the mission set.

What are you even rambling about. It’s almost universally agreed the US did way more than the UK in the Pacific.

We had at least 3.5 million military personnel in the Pacific theater

Might just be nice over all if they took an uodate to fix everyones stuff instead of making the community fight and argue over what gets fixed when.

This is gaijins fault, and yeah folks are gonna hyper focus on what they’re excited to play. Which eont align with what you want to play.

M829A3 is just overall worse than A2 as it isnt doing what its supposed to and its slower

I think what most people fail to understand is the war is for the arms manufacturing money and rare earths/oil. Since ww2 its only ever been about making money, not winning a conflict.

But yeah, if we are looking at it from a civvie stand point you’re right.

no ones saying otherwise, but acting as if the british werent there as you did is just wrong.

And the british empire had over 1 million in the burma campaign alone mate.

Definitely agreed man.

Someone said its mass is almost double so it spalls more?

Take it up with Gaijin Bub. they are the ones that decided to make it a separate tank, not me.
Dunno why people on here feel the need to attack anybody that tries to offer a possible explanation for a decision like they where personally the one that made it.

Its only 1.58kg heavier and on test drive it didnt punch through T90A K5 armor

Uh no. I responded to your comment - not gaijins. Weird tactic dude.

I think ill stick with SEPV2 as SEPV3 literally doesnt bring anything other than stock crew and 150mm RHA on cheeks

Which was the majority of British military personell in the pacific. In 1941 and 42 they were not doing well at all, it was only after the US won Midway and eradicated Japanese shipping and countless other battles that the British army had some success with American support.

The fact is the British could not have defended Australia successfully without the US, and the US was and still is the most important ally of Australia’s military

Yeah… assuming I was talking to someone with an IQ above room temperature that could understand that there is a difference between “planed to do a thing” and “actually did a thing” was a failed effort wasn’t it.

No its okay, you keep feeling smart while failing to understand how militaries execute on their manufacturing process and mission packages.

Future mission capabilities is something militaries hardbake into their combat designs because they plan on using them a long time. This means fitting them for future mission packages they haven’t even developed yet.

Meanwhile you, thinking as a civvie just goes “der they said they manufactured the capability but doesnt say they used it so der they didnt use it”.

Insult me all you want, but literally anyone who has military or military contractor experience is gonna scroll past you because you’re wrong and have zero clue what you’re talking aboit.

Its crazy how confident you’re laying off your grasp of an entire industry/government from a document you read and then decided to interpret to fit your own pet prefence.

Your IQ comment is barely a highschool level insult. So if that’s the best you’ve got after we’ve discussed this for like… 3 comments, how on earth do you expect anyone to look at your interpretation of the document and think “wow this guy is smart and must be an expert”.

Spoiler alert, no one.
