It would be an ideal battle pass tank.

The Russians got one I wonder what they did with it. Did they milk it for technology?

I strongly agree with this suggestion. Considering that China does not have a suitable medium tank at the 6.7 BR, the M26, although a copy, is still suitable. Don’t blindly oppose copying. If there is a suitable domestic tank, we don’t need copies. But if there are no domestic vehicles, then copies can of course appear. It is obvious that before the Type 59 tank, China could not find other medium tanks to fill the gap at 6.7 BR. The IS-2 went to 6.3 BR. The M26 is very suitable to appear in the game as a high-tier vehicleI expect that one day the WZ141 (light tank), PLZ-45 (self-propelled artillery), and M26 (medium tank) will form a Chinese golden high-end team. It would be even more perfect if we could get one more 6.7 CAS.

M26 in its current state is only clinging to 6.7 because they haven’t corrected the mantlet armor yet.
You could maybe have the M26/M26A1 work for 6.7 in the Chinese tree if it gets M348 from the M46 (I would give the other post-war Pershings in the Italian and French trees a similar treatment).

This is where we must consider the most effective way to implement Chinese T-34-85 upgrades. I know you support the LRF version sitting at 6.7, however many would say that HEATFS puts it too low to meet that mark, and APFSDS too high. It would be better perhaps to add the TPO-50 variant, which is also experimental, and then give that the APFSDS, so that the LRF variant is free to be placed elsewhere (if it were up to me, I would suggest replacing the copy paste M48A1 at 7.7).

This is the 6.7 medium we could have, with LRF variant being 7.7+ with rangefinder and rocket-propelled experimental darts. No M26 needed.

Keeping the original artillery performance at 5.7 is the best.

Although there is a laser rangefinder, it can only be used for range finding, and the artillery still needs to be adjusted manually. Therefore, it is suitable to be placed below 7.3. Because those above 7.7 with laser rangefinders can actively adjust the artillery.

If you think the LRF variant can sit at 6.7, then I don’t mind TPO-50 staying at 5.7. But as an experimental tank I do think it can receive APFSDS if necessary.

Since when? All laser rangefinders in the game adjust the gun automatically, it has nothing to do with BR.

There’s zero justification for adding the M26 to the Chinese tree.

The flamethrower of this tank is disposable, and after firing, it will shoot out all the fuel at once. Once depleted, it needs to be refilled with fuel.

Specific cases here and there? Sounds good.
Every single type of vehicle any nation has ever captured? God no.

What you need is a different game entirely, mate. Something without separate tech trees.

Sure if US could get this Aswell

Would make a great Aberdeen Proving Ground event award. Truth be told Aberdeen Proving Ground would make a great map.
