I guess there’s also the Lockheed Martin/Patria 40mm AMV which was looked at by the UK but given they didn’t buy it it again goes back to Finland. The UK has no claim to it given they didn’t buy it nor are they in need of wheeled light tanks
There’s definitely a lot of 30mm models but also a few calibers bigger
The UK built and demonstrated it. It was made by Lockheed Martin UK. The UK has far more reason to receive it than Finland.
And like the K2NO and it’s unique modification they didn’t buy it so it shouldn’t go to them.
I’m against trial vehicles unless there is no other option and in this case the UK didn’t buy it.
If nobody buys a vehicle it goes to the country that built it.
The UK built the 40mm Patria. It’s very simple.
Well, Gaijin dose it own thing, with the closest thing to placement rules we have. If the UK built/tested it, they have the primary claim.
T 80 U? F16AJ?
We can keep going
Ah yes the rules for thee but not for anyone else argument the British get
hey guys
F-16AJ is among the most fictional vehicles in-game, only added to fill an otherwise unfillable gap at the time. If the F-16AJ is the cornerstone of the point you are trying to make then your point is terrible.
T 80 U was trialed by Sweden, trialed vehicles are considered valid additions if necersary. Finland did not trial the 40mm Patria, it never even entered Finland. It was built, trialed, and demonstrated by the UK, and then marketed to some middle eastern customers, with no interest.
I can’t claim every member of the LAV family that never went into service for Canada, because even if General Dynamics Land Systems - Canada built them. Other nations, like the US, had tested them. It’s not special rules for the UK, it’s part of the suggestion rules for the forums.
Idk before the confirmation of the AU likely going to Britain they got the Bark because they wanted it.
And it’s very likely the UK will get every top tier nations main vehicle, idk about you but I’d say it’s pretty biased towards the UK in a lot of areas.
As long as the British want a vehicle they will get it eventually
???
The UK got the F-111C as a replacement for the F-111K (the British variant of the Aardvark), which was the variant wanted by them. As Gaijin deemed it better to add a service vehicle over an incomplete vehicle.
Then good news. 9/10 British player DON’T want non-UK oporated vehclies.
Because those asking for non-UK operated vehicles are the people from those nations.
I don’t know F-14D for premium pre-order maybe air defense role (1991 ~ 1994) or bombcat capable (late 1990’s but pre ROVER III) config
But maybe F-14D(R) for researchable vehicle tech tree (2005 config)
1 variant only (F-101A) or 3 variants (F-101A, F-101B and F-101C) ?
British B-29 ?
Both Royal Navy Harrier GR.9 (2005 ~ 2006) and RAF Harrier GR.9A (2008 ~ 2009)
I think we’ll get the death star 2 in the Japanese tree. 7.0 🤣
Land Rover WOMBAT confirmed???
Honestly I don’t think who it’s made by should be seen as more important than who it’s made for. K2NO was made for Norway, so that’s where it should go because that’s where it would’ve gone if it progressed further.
In the case of the Patria 40mm AMV I’d say if it’s made for the UK, then it should go there, but if it was only a general export product (not specific for the UK) then Finland is still the right place.
Then again Gaijin themselves don’t really make that distinction considering we get stuff like the Oplot-M for Pakistan, Mi-28 for Sweden and more.
At this point I wouldn’t be surprised if Indonesia tried to buy it
I have no interest in arguing made for here because anything and everything suggested for Sweden is met with backlash on nearly every post.
It’s simply easier to say no trial stuff or failed exports
Otherwise the UK gets like 70 vehicles from AU that were tried for stuff like Redback and failed
Same deal for Sweden they have a unique prototype Leclerc and had plans for it but it should go to France. Sweden also doesn’t need a trialed abrams
This only applies to one nation who currently has the primary selection available to give them every other nations vehicles.
