-1 Russia does not need more copy paste

I bet you could probably make an entire tech tree out of lend lease vehicles for the USSR. AT least up until rank 3-4.

I was thinking perhaps one of those bundles like we saw last update. Including a Matilda II Mk IV, M17 and perhaps a Churchill or Stuart? Get a bulk of them out of the way just like that.

Absolutely, I think this is an excellent idea. I don’t see any downside to it, and you’ve got my full support on your proposal.

Still debating on making a Stuart M5A1 post, only 5 were ever delivered under the lend lease program.

Well, this Stuart variant is definitely suggest-able for the Soviet Union, provided you have the sources to support it. More power to you!

it’s not that well documented. They were supposedly delivered on the tail end of the war, mainly used for evaluation. They rejected the delivery of anymore and instead requested more Sherman’s. They couldn’t cheat on their beloved Emcha.

Yes, thankfully it’s not in the USSR tree, and if we’re lucky, it never will be.

why not? Im completely for lend lease and export vehicles going into the tree which makes the most sense, even if its not the native tree for that vehicle.

Copy paste is bad for Warthunder, especially when it isn’t even filling a gap. It’s an extra kick in the balls that it’s a copy paste vehicle from America.

+1!

While im usually of that sentiment (indian spaa in the British tree, the like 20 m48s in game or how everyone has a t64/72/80/90 slapped into a tree) when its the main nation of that tree using said vehicle it and it was of big historical significance such as the many vehicles of lend-lease it gets a pass.

Want, please give.

It’s still copy paste, and Russia most certainly does not need it. The fact that it’s an American vehicle only makes it worse, as Gajin seems to be on a quest to strip America of every unique vehicle it has.

at least youre getting the vehicles before they go to other nations which have a historical claim to them. Britain didn’t even get Royal Sovereign before it was put into the USSR tree because we lent it to them for ww2

I wouldn’t say Stuart’s are unique man, almost every country on the allied side used them at the time, which is shown ingame, same with Sherman’s

its about as unique as a centurion, like a buttload of people used them

I surely thought it would’ve went into the British tree before or along with it, but here we are. I have it myself and it’s not all that great if it makes anyone feel any better about the situation. I understand the sentiment.
I totally expect Britain to get it very soon though.

And leopard 1s
