Would adding variants of the Sheridan like the M551A1 TTS, or maybe even the 105mm equipped test variants, be good additions to the game?
They could potentially bridge the gap to other US light tanks at higher BRs, like the M10 Booker and maybe even HIMAG
105’s or the Stingrays that were made too
Please.
I had suprisingly fun time with the 152mm gun at 8.7, but sheridian lacked any sort of mid range capability and starship was too slow for my liking.
There’s the Elevated Kinetic Energy Test Bed, that looks like it is using a M551 chassis, which could be neat. I think it uses the same, or similar gun, as the HSTV-L and RDF/LT in the game. So perhaps a bit higher BR than what you were looking for.
The XM551 with the M68 105mm gun would be my top wish for a Sheridan variant. It would be a huge upgrade in firepower for that poor vehicle.
I’m definitely not a fan of the standard version’s 152mm HEAT-rounds. And don’t get me started on those nose-diving missiles… So getting an actually potent and familiar gun would be a huge upgrade and hopefully fill a gap.
that would be so great, an HSTVL that is even better from hull down
The M551A1 TTS should have been first added where the M551’s BR was originally at 8.3 LOL.
I have seriously no idea how they thought something like a Turm III or T-55AM-1 facing the base variant Sheridan was even remotely fair.
For a little bit of extra ‘float’ fun because of the recent T86 GMC Hellcat event.
There was also another M551 turret version installed with a 105mm gun on an LVT:
