Chaffees are tucked away in the background, to the right of mr churchill

In my opinion another copy and paste vechicle such as this will be boring just normal m-24 and that’s all,Gaijin should be focusing on adding some vechicles that never were in the game such as the Argentinian Sherman with a better cannon but it’s just my opinion.

I’d be fine with it as a premium or BP tank.

Total number of Chaffees shipped to the UK was 289, from Quantities of Lend-Lease Shipments.

Easy add to the UK tech tree, ideally SA would’ve been it’s own tree and this could be added instead of one of the vehicles from that line. Would love to see this in the researchable tree :)

+1 for the British Chaffee.

this would help build one of the best line-up of the US tree in the UK tree, with some differences

I would love for Britain to get a 3.7 light tank, but the Chaffee is one of the worst options. There’s other tanks Britain could get *that would actually be unique. We shouldn’t add copy paste if we don’t need to.

XD the only difference would be CAS and the Cromwell. Maybe the Sarc if you’re masochistic enough to use it.

What light, mobile, tracked platform with decent firepower (including a reverse gear) would you suggest that Britain could receive around this BR?

It doesn’t need to be unique, 289 Chaffees were received by the British and the UK was the only country other than the US to use them at scale during the war.

We named it Chaffee, as we did all US tanks until the Pattons.

Sure, it doesn’t NEEED to be unique, but I’d far prefer have a unique light tank for my 3.7 lineup.

Why am I so alienated in believing different nations should have different vehicles?

Maybe you’re so alienated because you do this in every post I’ve seen about lend lease equipement, which they have every right to maybe get in their tree. I don’t really think the British tree getting a good 3.3 light tank would be that big of an issue or take away from other thinks being added

Copy paste is bad, lend lease or not.

Britain already has good light tanks- arguably better than the US everywhere but top tier. This isn’t needed.

Like I’ve already said, please make a suggestion for a British light tank that would sit at a BR of 3.7 then? As far as I’m aware, there really aren’t many options.

The Crusader Mk III (Late) would most likely be 3.3, and I love the Crusaders, but they have a WW1 engine and a top speed of 25mph, they aren’t particularly mobile for light tanks. They definitely are not even close to keeping up with the Chaffees and BT-7 (F32)s running around.

There’s quite a few, especially if you include the south african options. Heck even the Cromwell. The Cromwell is faster than the chaffee.

Please, list them then.

The Cromwell struggles as a light tank because -

A) It’s a medium, it doesn’t get scouting, so no marking enemies for the team or getting cheaper aircraft

B) Sure, it can absolutely rocket forwards, but it also can’t go backwards, so in terms of overall mobility I’d take the Chaffee (and most other light tanks) over the Cromwell any day

I would love to see this in the GBR tech tree in the future, hopefully South Africa gets added to it’s own tree soon :))
