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.
France already has M26 in the TT tho
Has that ever stopped Gaijin from adding event/premium copies before?
Fair enough.
Yeah, just saw that a couple M46s were leased as well, just at no cost (dunno how that would be a lease and not a lend tho)
If its regarding well established soft balancing measures such as shells, weaponry, missiles ordinance etc then yes, those can be done if a vehicle is where it is intended to be. But whats not what was asked.
The question I was responding too was regarding the specific historical performance of certain things (such as radars) which are not rejected due to balancing.
Could it be perhaps that payment for the M47s included a lease of M46s that would be paid for upon shipping of the former?
And to be fair, I don’t imagine that Gszabi would’ve done all the more research than he needed for his hints (he does more than enough for the community already lol), so it’s possible he just used what was already written in the “service history” section of the M46 wiki page.
Fair enough
I am just curious as it came up, “how much” information is actually needed to really nudge a weapon system to be considered, are pictures of a 1 off enough if the source is valid (such as from the builders historical archive)? Or does it need to have full documentation as well about it being tested (often hard to cite for 3rd world countries which are more prone to experimentation when times get tricky).
As gaijin moves on to adding more trainer/COIN operation vehicles and assets, I just hope gaijin isnt “too strict” at times on this side of thing where experiementation and non standard systems start to come up.
I mostly ask as this is an area I very much enjoy looking at and into, the “not so big name” wars and conflicts often forgotten about on the sidelines and just hope that we dont miss out on interesting modifications that way (its partly how I ran into images of Strikemaster with miniguns on it and both it/jet provost with BL 755s on display together at shows, randomly armed “semi civilian” aircraft pressed into use, etc, but mostly just poor countries strapping bombs that were not conventional to their military jets).
Really won’t be that good, it’s main upgrades just bring the J-10 up to the standard of aircraft like the Rafale and Typhoon when it comes to TWR, avionics, hardpoints and weapons compatability, it’s certainly not a wunderwaffe that belongs 0.7 above a typhoon
our friends at DCS :)
Yes it is about that and I disagree with it.
F-35 huh :)
It is really subjective to the who/what/when where. There generally is no one size fits all limit on this. It can depend on a multitude of factors depending on what this one source can tell us. Full documentation simply isn’t always possible in all cases. So that for sure is not expected in every case.
