Anyway speaking of SA things I love to see the Olifant MK.1B “Optimum” one day since we do need another SA tank

what does it even add? also “need” is a strong word what we need is more light tanks spread through out the tree and better SPAA
What does it do that couldn’t be added by another British tank?
probably nothing much besides having a SA flag on it lol
@Smugspite & @長門 That’s a bit insulting isn’t it ?
The TTD been at the top of the line for awhile now and it would be nice to get something other than a wheeled vehicle but from what I’ve been reading better than the Olifant in game in all form
"The Mk1B was, for all practical purposes, a leap forward in protection, mobility and firepower over its predecessor, the Mk1A. However, several problems came to light, such as the poor power to weight ratio and the failure of the main gun system to exceed the performance of the Mk1A. Additionally, the desired fight ability improvement was not achieved. These shortcomings motivated the SANDF to look for further improvements which led to the Mk2 which made use of many of the TTD technologies.
Id still take the Ajax or Boxer for a 10.3 IFV and the Challenger 3(P) for maybe at long last a 12.0 MBT as we dont have one yet over a 10.3/10.7? 105mm MBT at a BR range where we already have a really solid MBT and we just had a pointless SA Addition

so its either in a BR bracket where its pretty much by itself or at a BR where there are better options, the UK still has options for MBTs as well with things like MBT-80, Challenger 1 mk1, Chieftain mk11
Pointless is only an option it’s not facts
4 really solid MBTs and 1 meh soviet copy paste oh and i forgot about the TTD it exists
Sure I guess, but we’re still waiting on the Chief Mk.8, 11 and/or 12, 4030/1 4030/2, and Chiefs 800 and 900. Don’t forget that it IS the British tree, South Africa is just a guest.

The chances of them being added is less than gaijin doing their own work in house
still all of them are better options then the Olifant Mk1B that over all will just be a disappointment
It’s only a disappointment because people like you are so hell bent on making tech trees 100% pure
And this convo here is why we need nation folders, or literally any sub-tree rework.
Sub-trees have only become one thing controversial, more often then not to the host tree and mixed to the sub nation.

the tree name is Great britain not SA, so yeah sorry to say I play for british tanks not SA tanks
Names and flags means nothing on reality if it did then how come we’ve got sub nations ?
Look at Japan air at top tier, Thailand has got the same amount as Japan if the Japanese name mattered to much then why not just remove them
The Badger is one of the worst IFVs ever added. Scimitar, Fox and Warrior, even the Falcon at a lower BR put it too shame.
In an update where we should have finally gotten a top tier SAM system. getting an IFV that was weaker than lower BR options, was just a let down. What we need now is
- A top tier worthy MBT
- A top tier SPAA
- A higher tier IFV
What we dont need is a downgrade over existing 10.3 MBTs

you seem to miss the sub part there, they arent the focus
completely different situations, japan lacked options as @長門 said the UK has plenty of options with out SA
Ok if needs mean anything at all then why did we get SA in the first place ?
because people cried for it to be a thing, and gaijin seemingly completely ignored all of britains options for light tanks
