Don’t we have a copious amount of the M55 already Copy Pasted into most Tech Trees? I mean no disrespect to the OP, but why make Copy Paste Vehicle Suggestions and even worse, why do they get approved?
Copy Paste Vehicles are a big Problem, yet there are plenty such Suggestions.
This specific vehicle is actually already present in-game as the M55 used by Belgium:

So in this case, the suggestion concerns an existing vehicle rather than introducing a new platform. It just has to go to Implemented .
Imported and foreign-operated armored vehicles often form an important part of a nation’s military history. Suggestions are evaluated based on factors such as historical relevance, quality of research, source usage, and whether they meet the forum guidelines. If a suggestion is well-researched and complies with those requirements, it can be approved regardless of whether the vehicle itself is an indigenous design or an imported one.
The approval process is focused on the quality and validity of the suggestion, not on whether the vehicle required a completely independent development project in real life.
That is ultimately a matter of opinion. There is no clear indication that copy-paste vehicles are inherently harmful to the game. In many cases they allow players to experience historically significant vehicles within the nation they are interested in, rather than requiring them to grind an entirely different tech tree to access a vehicle that served their chosen nation.
Additionally, many nations relied heavily on imported equipment throughout their history. Excluding such vehicles would often leave significant gaps in their progression and reduce the representation of their armed forces.

Also, this is a suggestion for a M55, not a M44
7 months later… And they still forget to move this to Implemented.

As the m55 has been added as a part of update 2.49 “Tusk Force”,
Moved to Implemented Suggestions. o7
