Ehh… No offence.
I prefer Matlida II, which had real combat experience in the eastern front over some iffy prototypes which never saw combat but were built for testing guns. :|
I also understand and respect your point of view.
Unique things are also fine to see. right?
I do understand your point of thinking, and I think I would quite enjoy more examples of lend lease and export vehicles in other games, I just don’t think that War Thunder’s design really permits for it all too much with the only historical aspects retained being the vehicle designs and functions themselves.
In my opinion, the rare and rather abstract prototypes that some may find off putting, are really what appeals to me most.
If we had proper historical scenarios, I would be interested perhaps in seeing nation mixing in order to achieve more accurate lineups, but for now I can’t say I’m keen on seeing more of the same identical vehicle on then battlefield, it just begins to feel a bit stale.
Yeah… Gaijin used copy and paste things as their secret sauce when they don’t want to work but still want to scam our money. too much.
Honestly, they raised aggro too much about adding either ‘direct C&P’ and ‘similar vehicle which can be seen as C&P’
IMO, it is damn shame that some iconic vehicles which really saw combat and took role in war gets -1 on suggestion. Thanks to Gaijin.
Lamest C&P like kungstiger, which never saw combat, ruined the TT and spread hatred about 'adding some iconic lend-lease and export vehicles. ’ :/
Not entirely sure that vehicles like the Kungstiger are responsible for the “no” votes on such export vehicles though. For example, I’m not afraid to admit that I voted no on this suggestion, and many others that were lend lease copies, and that those decisions were not at all biased by the Kungstiger (although I occasionally use it as an example for why I dislike C&P additions so much).
And you also have to remember that what you may consider to be an “iconic export/lend-lease” vehicle is to me one that can just as easily be represented via a skin.
Since War Thunder doesn’t choose to represent historical engagements, playing something like the Soviet Matilda from this suggestion doesn’t feel like such an iconic and important piece of history, but rather an exact repeat of the Matilda I first played in the UK, which already left its impression on me.
Well… maybe I am just whining about ‘what if Gaijin didn’t c&p as same as now’ then would it be fine to I can play my Matilda in a soviet deck too…?
:(
Especially when a 76mm up-gunned matila isn’t accessible ‘in reasonable price’. :/
Yeah, I did mention that I wouldn’t have an issue with combined nation lineups in the case of a historical event, in which I think they could actually be quite fun to play with. Something akin to a restart of the world war mode would be nice.
I would love to see it, but in the British tech tree. I would love more diversity in Matilda and Valentine line-ups.
Not same vehicle (Matilda II Mk III). I’d like to see this decal nonetheless :)
A Matilda II Mk.III fresh of the production line is prepared for shipment to the USSR with a number of Slogans painted on by the factory workers, September 26, 1941
I’m going to give it a soft no. I dislike copy-paste as much as the next guy and it’s hard to justify it just cause the Soviet Union used it, it’s a slippery slope in the current state of the game and I’d rather not go down a path where the US has the entire USSR line of MBTs cause they were all used for training or the USSR getting things like the Centauro GMC that Russia tested or the F-5 captured in Vietnam etc etc.
These were used in combat and supplied by Britain itself early in the war, not evaluation vehicles. What you mentioned at the end has no connection to this type of vehicle and I could understand that if you were talking about one of my evaluation vehicle posts.
Of course they were and I still disagree as I put this class of vehicle, that being lend-lease and captured with ,equipment one nation possessed at one point or another" for whatever reason, be it combat or testing, either reason I’d deem valid if it were only to fill a gap in the tech tree which there is none in it’s br range as far as I can tell. Is it an entirely unique variant used by the Soviets? - not quite, there is already a premium one in game with the F-96 gun that I deem worthy since it’s diffirent from what we see in the UK. It’s just an opinion.
premium
I personally don’t see them all the same because it doesn’t make sense to, they have historical significance and played a role in the defeat of Nazi Germany, the significance is also there for nations that used them, Soviets praised them even, especially the Valentine which we have in game now.
Anyone saying no is just being reasonable. We don’t need more copy slopping.
The whole argument against copy and paste is quite funny, not eveyone minds it, it’s a normal thing in the real world, yeah I can understand test vehicles 100% but not vehicles that saw combat, and Caernarvon is right it’s definitely pettiness.
rich from you tbh
That’s hilarious because I was thinking the same thing, you took the words out of my mouth XD
Since when does the Matilda use .303 Browning? And since when does it have a hull MG?
Doesnt it just have a Coax Besa in 7,92x57mm.
There was a account to the soviets strapping one into the Matilda so I decided to throw it in there to make it more unique, I thought about changing it though since i can’t find images of it. the hull part is wrong though.
projection at its finest
