Matilda II Mk IV - Lady with Thick Skin

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.
