>6th Marksman suggestion
+1 I guess

Obviously there are far too many Marksman vehicles to all go to Britain, but depending on public opinion I could see the following if every one were to be implemented:
In British tree:
Centurion Marksman: GB, 8.0 (Slow, No APDS)
Vickers Marksman: GB, 8.0 (Fast, No APDS, Foldered under Centurion)
Chieftain Marksman: GB, 8.3 (Slow, APDS)
Challenger 1 Marksman: GB, 8.3 (Fast APDS, Foldered under Chieftain)
In other trees (battle rating based upon combination of varying chassis types and APDS or no APDS is up for debate)
Leopard 1 Marksman: Germany
M48A5 Marksman: USA
Magach Marksman: Israel
Type 59 Marksman: China
M60 Marksman: Saudi Arabia
T-55AM: Finland (Also known as ItPsv 90)
T-55: Russia (It’s only fair if everyone else gets one lol)
And yes, this is a very cluttered and terrible idea that will be very unpopular with most people,

Just make a Marksman turret tech tree at this point. +1 though.

Eeh, i’m not exactly against it, but it feels extremely redundant to add another slow Marksman to the british tech tree.
Even the LATAM tree could have one of these.
At this rate, I wouldn’t be surprised if they somehow put it on a Sherman
Well unfortunately the AMX-30, T-62, Leopard 2, Abrams, and Osorio versions never manifested into a prototype, but I think it’s obvious that the Marksman was intended as a worldwide all-climate product.

All the Markmans you can have a line-up of just them, and people say the UK has nothing to do with these hulls(despite owning them.)

This is a very bad idea, and sets a bad precedent that shouldn’t be set in the first place.
The fact the US gets the Skink, something it had nothing to do with it and even rejected is already bad enough(and embolden them to demand everything that used a screw made in the US). There is no reason to start handing out vehicles based on British-owned hulls(the nation that made it has nothing to do with it at this point) willy nearly to nations that have nothing to do with it (they didn’t buy or test), unless you’re willing to let any vehicle go to whatever tree with no reason.

abrams would be fun
I only support the idea for very specific circumstances such as this one, because the hulls are pretty much the only difference between each vehicle and thus we couldn’t expect them all to fit in the British tree.
And of course my idea in general is purely theoretical, I don’t actually think that this is a good plan, I was simply brainstorming how each platform would fit in the current scope of the game.
hear me out. No apds for any 35mm oerlikon KDA guns at all. its a toxic upgrade for them which makes people use them as tank hunters and ignore their job as SPAA
I think it’s unfair to remove a historically accurate shell entirely. The purpose of my balancing solution was to provide proper AA with and without APDS that would allow the player to chose their BR and playstyle.

ammunition is only a balancing factor, heres a screenshot from a bug report on the xm800t having ammunition it wouldn’t ever have access too as proof:
take the APDS away and it forces spaa to be an spaa
that’s why there’s like 2500 vehicles in this game, so you can play a vehicle of the type and intended role that you wish to play
Many people wish to play certain vehicles, but at the same time, many also desire to play certain ammo types as well. While yes, I agree that AA should certainly have their BR prioritized via a lack of AP, it would also be nice to add a second vehicle with the powerful anti-tank ammunition to try out.
The Ostwind, for example, should not recieve the poweful APCR it had in reality, however it would be nice to see a similar halftrack-based vehicle with the same gun that can use these shells. It’s the same deal with the Marksman.
