The gun it uses is WW2 technology, lmao

So the cannon alone has likely already slapped German/Italian/Japanese tanks around.

It came in the 60s mate so keep your fake WW2 tanks for Hollywood and bad war films

we’ve been using 105mm howitzers since before ww2

They had Howitzers in the Napoleonic war but it has nothing to do with War Thunder old chap.

The M52 SPH began production in 1951, and was based on the M41 Walker bulldog chassis.

In summary, do your research before spouting off inaccurate statements.

Yes that is 6 years after WW2 ended and and as long as WW2 actually was. Like saying a BT5 is a Pershing. 6 years is a long time in tank development.

Personally, i would see this maybe being a 5.7 (without HEAT), or 6.0-6.3 with HEAT (same as M4 105), due to its poor protection and rather large silhouette.

Ehhhhhh. Technically speaking, by the time it began production and entered service, it was deployed alongside late WWII-era tanks. So, from a gameplay perspective, it’d make sense to stick it at 5.7-6.0. After all, it’s just a lighter, less armored, and more mobile M4A3 (105). It really shouldn’t affect gameplay too much.

Hopefully not

Did you not read anything he said? The M4A3 105 has similar firepower at a much lower BR, with far better armor.

I don’t think the game is going to suffer by not having this .Thanks anyway.

I don’t think the game would suffer much without any of the Tiger tanks. It’s a good thing the game doesn’t rely on such opinions.

It’s a good thing it doesn’t rely on your opinions

So what’s the point of you even coming to these posts and acting a fool by doomsaying? War Thunder was never a historically accurate WW2 game, and never will be.

you really wanna put this thing up against T-34-85 D-5T and T-34-85 lol, Also make it play against tigers?? How would it even kill anything if the M109G already exists at that BR range?

I am not the only one who feels that way.Many are mourning the death of WW2 vehicles in lower tiers due to the flood ill fitting vehicles.

No thank you. It’s just a faster but less armored M4A3 (105) that also has limited turret traverse. It’s mobility isn’t even that fantastic despite being on a Bulldog. It’s just barely on par with the Chaffee, which isn’t good for something of this size and armor thickness. No greater than 4.7 WITH HEAT. At 6.0, it’d be worse than all of its contemporaries by far.
