Speaking of the USSR T26 I bet they could use the early T-26 china has currently. Doesn’t the USSR only have 2 reserve tanks or am I wrong?
Doesn’t every nation have 2?
No, Germany has 3, for example.
Also, offtopic, but my take for the battlepass tank is the French ERC-90. The battlepass is named “The last Legionnaire”, I think that gives a hint.

since Rafale has also HMD IFF how about Eurofighter HMD IFF?
Every nation except for Germany and Israel has 2 reserve tanks.
Germany got the Pz. 35(t) a while after ground battles were released and Israel has only one in the form of the M-51.

I’d support every nation having 3 reserve vehicles, since new players usually start playing arcade, which allows you 3 spawns.

The ERC-90 is not an american tank though
Yes, I know. Did they mention the battlepass tank would be from the US? I didn’t pay attention.
Yes, yes they (Gszabi) did

Well, Gaijin didn’t, but judging by Gszabis accuracy when it comes to leaks it is extremely likely that the other half of his leak is correct too, that being an American medium tank leased by another nation.

I wonder what medium could be. I’ve seen you guys chat about a French M46, that would make sense. A M47 could also be possible. France definitely needs more 7.0-7.3 ground vehicles.
An M46 would definitely be possible, but I don’t think it could be a M47.
My personal guess would be a M26 for either Belgium, Britain or Russia.
Honestly I believe France already has quite a strong 6.7 lineup on ground. If they gave the Pershing to either the UK or the USSR it would be outrageous, to say the least.
Besides, if the battlepass is named “The last Legionnaire” it definitely has to do something with France or Italy.
I really wouldn’t take the Battlepass name as a sign for anything, just look at previous Battlepasses lol
Also, you know full well they gave Sweden a King Tiger, so a Pershing for Russia or the UK would just be a drop in the ocean

USSR one is a bit iffy but the UK I can’t see why not since we had 12 of them
I get the UK needs more 6.7 vehicles but it’d feel… odd, I guess it’s just me. It’d definitely come in handy to the British.

Tbf they probably only added the kingtiger to sweden since they stated the KV-1B would never be added to finland, so they replaced the only other heavy tank aside from the meh KV-1A
I just had a quick look online and I can’t find anything about M47s (or M48s) being leased to other nations, so unless I am missing something a M26 for France (via Belgium), Britain or Russia or a M46 for France or Italy would be the only tanks matching Gszabis leak
To be fair I am going off of Wikipedia, but considering that no modifications are known to have been conducted and almost vehicles were eventually returned, it seems quite plausible that M46s were temporarily leased to the nations of Italy, France, and Belgium as trainers for the eventual shipment of M47s, which all three nations were known to have modified.
