I’d personally would like this to take out helicopters from a distance so when they die they know exactly how I see them as a helicopter player in the kill view.

How do you even aim. The enormous uh um uhh ta la la is obstructing the scope and uh is quite above average.

When you’re this big you don’t need to aim you just shoot and the enemy will fall. The design is very human in regards that it was made by humans

I’d say, I’d like to see a special gamemode where you can play paper vehicles

For a real answer:
It was a silencer developed by Rheinmetall as a two-fold solution to both reduce hearing loss caused by live fire exercises, and to reduce complaints from residents around military bases when said exercises take place. It didn’t have any capability to move and was fixed in place, but since it was meant to be used simply for training gunnery crews in operating the gun, rather than aiming it, that wasn’t an issue.
Now do this list, but for Germany/Russia/England/Japan/China/Sweden/France/Israel/Italy.
We don’t need 50 different Sherman variations that are only marginally different from the ones already ingame and they’re likely never going to be added. The long barrel M3 mediums would be nice to see but doubt we’ll get them as tech tree vehicles, probably either premiums or events. (Gaijin did say that new WWII stuff will likely be event vehicles barring a few unique tech tree ones)
The only T29 heavy that should still be added to the game is the T29E3 with the range-finding ears on the side of the turret.
There is the T67 tank destroyer which was the prototype to the M18 IIRC, and there’s also the M7 Light Tank that still needs to be added but these are prototypes.
I agree that we should see the Priest at some point but do not forget that while the USA might not need paper vehicles in the future, nations like Britain, Japan and Italy might. I’d still love to see the O-I come in a Dream’s Come True event.
Like I said, paper vehicles will be the future of War Thunder especially as Gaijin focuses more on modern equipment.
I already have.
The T29E1, T29E2, and the T29E3 can all be added. The T29E1 has a stronger engine and the T29E3 has a rangefinder. The T29E2 only has differences that wouldn’t be applicable in-game iirc.
Britain absolutely doesn’t need paper vehicles. They have an absurd number of possibilities left like the rest of the “Big Five” (USA, Germany, USSR, Britain, France). Italy is still a bit away from needing that, and Japan is now far away from needing that with the hundreds of possibilities that Indonesia and Malaysia brings to their tree.
I’ve already made a Japan-Indonesian megatree here, with the Google Sheets that accompanies it here.
I have extensive lists for the USSR and Britain, both of which are incomplete in terms of what can be added.
The notion that Gaijin will ever have to resort to paper vehicles due to a lack of real vehicles is nonsense.
So you would have copy/paste or variations that won’t make a difference to how a vehicle is played just to keep paper designs away.
Alright, I’ve seen everything.
There are hundreds of possibilities that aren’t copypaste, but sure.
“hundreds”
There’s maybe tens of incomplete designs and some one-off prototypes. Sure there can be hundreds of variations with slight differences in engine power or some different armour characteristics here and there, however not all of them warrant being added as they add nothing new and don’t even change how a vehicle is currently played. The T29E1 doesn’t change how you play the T29 ingame and adds nothing different, the only one that makes a difference is the T29E3 and will be a higher BR than the current one ingame as a result.
Just like how there’s over 100 Fletchers built, we don’t need all 100 ingame. For Britain? There’s some prototypes that haven’t been added and some one-off vehicles. We already have the major Centurion variations added, and there’s nothing left in the Comet and Cromwell series barring some of their prototypes that can be added at lower BRs. There are still a few vehicles built off the Crusader which haven’t been added.
Those are just some examples I gave, there aren’t “hundreds”. Don’t exaggerate. Gaijin will eventually need to go to wooden mockups and paper designs especially considering their reluctance to add anything to WWII now.
just because they were put on paper doesn’t mean they should exist. This isn’t WoT. and these are obviously paper tanks. hell wooden mockups get removed from the game. These have no chance at getting in war thunder
