HE only slingers at 150+mm are some of the most fogiving to play, you barely have to aim.
And the M55 will be even more training wheel mode due to it’s BR.

once again coming to vary different experiences. Not aiming HE onlys has gotten me killed 100% of the time and did nothing to the one I shot at.
edit:
Here are my stats in HE onlys I know I played:
You’ll find they paint the exact opposite of easy to play.
Whenever you type M44 in the search bar for the WT subreddit or this forum the vast majority of the posts (besides the suggestions) and comments are talking about how stupidly strong it is.
Those are not all high calibre players. So yeah for a large part of the players it’s truely bs and easy to play.
EDIT: M55 will have a turret as well so it’ll be actually easy mode, where at least for the M44 I can actually see the other argument.
EDIT2: drove it around in the test drive on the dev server. Gun hardly wobbled during driving, forgiving firepower, decent mobility, likely decently survivable and a semi turret. The only thing it doesn’t have is armor.
The O-I tank is proven to have existed, just not completed before it was scrapped.
This is just an example of Gaijin being weird about incomplete vehicles. Sometimes they’re added like the Yak-141, sometimes they’re avoided like the F-111K.
As for other vehicles, there really isn’t any other rank 3+ heavy tanks I could think of without some stretch. The Panther D they bought would’ve been considered a heavy tank in Japan, but it’d be weird to have one identical Panther with a different class. I’ve also heard claims of a captured IS-2, but I’m not sure if these can be trusted.
For potential subtree heavy tanks there’s nothing either. Thailand never had any heavy tanks, and looking into the future neither did Indonesia or the Philippines.

It was passed for consideration though, if that is any consolation

Only thing that could be added is the Churchill III. Nobody wants that, they could add the Kranvagn in a dreams come true event given the chassis was made. Hell the Bkans turret was used on the Kranvagn called the AKV 151 with better HP/T over the Bkan.
Also the strv 103 suspension and 105mm

@Smin1080p_WT any chance the devs are going to keep adjusting the Elde or was that Fix all. Considering they closed my bug report yet it still isnt fixed, it’s not really a good look. Again how can one of the best off road vehicles be the worst thing to ever drive.
Is the new norm going to be implementing vehicles that dont work, saying the game engine cant handle it then ignoring it forever? Again its people upsetting seeing how no staff have anything to say given its performance.
Again answer this question if you can, if the vehicle couldn’t be modeled correctly because of the game engine. Why was it added?
Again why is this an acceptable response
If it wasn’t ready it shouldn’t have been added.

That’s a 20pdr.
No fume extractor and the recoil system isn’t correct for a 105
My bad then, im more informed on the Bkans testing over the Strv 103’s hydroneumatic suspension testing with the Kranvgan
OK so they can’t yet add power to the trailer…
Forgive my ignorance here, but couldn’t they simply increase the power of the forward car to compensate? As a band-aid solution.
It wouldn’t fix its terrible mobility like the trailer clipping into the floor, or trying to reverse on a hill, or the controls locking up when turning at high speed. Or the trailer pushing you when braking instead of using its own brakes.
Again why add a vehicle if you can’t model it.
no, that wouldnt be realistic you see

They now have the option of both Finnish and Norwegian helicopters which depending on how they consider their rules could have armaments.
Well clearly their current fix is very realistic lol.
I haven’t touched this thing in a real match since they Fixed it. I went to grab literally any other new SPAA.

Again theres really nothing to add
Sure there is. Blackhawks, Merlin’s, Lynx’s Littlebirds, Mi-4s, Mi-8s.
None of which are currently present in the tree, and would fill it out.
Sure they aren’t unique, but surprise surprise nothing is when you don’t build your own.
Those are unarmed ones
Again these models are unarmed for the most part and don’t really do anything. The only vehicle they could add is a Danish Fennec since ours were armed with TOW’s.
Again Sweden is kinda dead on the air front with no helicopters to add. And gaijin ignoring the air tree whenever possible to ignore filling out the areas they need equipment.
Technically the MH-60’s from Norway and Sweden can mount Hellfires, they just don’t use them and they would only be able to carry 4x hellfires. The naval ones have equipment to use them.
